The tour was very fun and informative. The guide made several references to the play. I think he should have only sang at the first of the tour and at the end though.
It is the only Alexander Hamilton tour offered in Philly. The guide included songs from the play "Hamilton ". A unique presentation.
I'm glad you enjoyed the songs as well as the information about Hamilton. And yes, the tour is unique!
Fun tour! Reid was very knowledgeable about the history and the architecture. We enjoyed our morning tour!
History, architecture, and fun are a wonderful combination. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour with me.
Reid is very knowledgeable about Hamilton and also sings songs from the play after he tells you of events leading up to it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and my singing did not disappoint.
It was a lot of fun. Andy is great. He was knowledgeable and answered all are questions. We would definitely do this again
I'm not sure what tour you took but it was certainly not this tour as my name is Reid and we do not use a vintage car we walk
Reid was an excellent tour guide, making the information and tour fun, pertinent, as well as informative. He made sure that there were places to sit while we listened, and he passed the information to us in a way that was understandable. He also made sure to ensure our safety the entire time when crossing the street, as well as he made sure we stopped at places where we were covered from the rain, as we had a rainy day. we laughed along the way and learned so much that we did not know about Alexander Hamilton as well as the city of Philadelphia.
I am so glad you guys enjoyed the tour AND learned new things. Rainy days are tough for tours but you were troopers!
Learned new facts about Hamilton that we didn’t know. Guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
