Overview

Skip the ticket line, the live guide, and the fixed schedule. This self-guided walking tour, with VoiceMap, puts Alexander Hamilton's real New York in your headphones — the streets, taverns, and institutions where the Founding Fathers built a nation, decades before anyone set it to music. Walk the real ground: Bowling Green, Federal Hall, Fraunces Tavern, the Federal Reserve, and Trinity Church, where Hamilton worked, banked, dueled his way into legend, and is buried. A historian-narrated audio guide tells the true story of his rise from immigrant clerk to Treasury Secretary, his rivalry with Aaron Burr, and the birth of American finance — no reservation, no live guide, no fixed start time. Open the free VoiceMap app, start whenever you like, and let GPS-triggered narration guide you at your own pace, with offline playback and lifetime access included. At $19.99, it's a fraction of the cost of a guided Hamilton tour.
