What makes Private New York Tour: Footsteps of Alexander Hamilton a unique experience ?
Drop by the oldest church in NYC and see its magnificent exterior and experience the history of the church from the 1690s to present day.
Explore the churchyard where city leaders, entrepreneurs and Alexander Hamilton himself are buried. See Hamilton’s monument and learn about his family tomb.
You’ll “occupy Wall Street” at this famous privately held public space that was home to the protest movement for several months in the fall of 2011.
Right across from “the room where it happened” (aka Thomas Jefferson’s previous address) is one of 12 Federal Reserve banks. Hear about how founding father Alexander Hamilton devised a scheme to bring banking to the newly formed United States of America and view the awe-inspiring exterior of the richest bank in the world.
George Washington was inaugurated here! Learn how the founding fathers came to terms in writing the Bill of Rights and view the beautifully domed National Monument that later served as a customs house and part of the Treasury Department in the 19th Century
The Dutch built a wall as part of their 1624 settlement. Today’s Wall Street marks where that wall once stood and is truly the beating heart of the country’s financial systems.
Take photos with this iconic statue that was part of a pop-up art installation across from the Wall Street Bull. Now she stands guard looking over the New York Stock Exchange.
From the opening bell to recession alerts, the New York Stock Exchange gauges the financial health of the United States. Experience the thrill of the iconic market at the close of their working day
Walk down the oldest (and first paved) street in NYC and take in iconic views that hearken back to NYC’s European founding.
