New York City, one of the most iconic destinations in the world. This tour uniquely blends the old and the new, offering an unparalleled New York City experience. Marvel at modern skyscrapers and legendary landmarks while delving into the rich history of Lower Manhattan, including the fascinating story of Alexander Hamilton. A pivotal figure of the American Revolution, Hamilton served as an aide to General George Washington and played a critical role in key battles. As the architect of the nation’s financial system, he established the Bank of New York, forging a deep connection with downtown Manhattan and the Financial District. A brief stop in Brooklyn’s DUMBO will be made pending time. DUMBO becomes a central location for the Battle of Brooklyn which the British won forcing the continental army to retreat across east River.
