点评:Our group signed up for the Hamilton Walking Tour, but the title was misleading. The majority of the tour focused on the island’s history of slavery under Danish rule, with only about 20 minutes dedicated to Alexander Hamilton in a 2.5-hour experience. Our students were disappointed, as they had been eager to learn more about Hamilton’s life and influence.
Additionally, the guide began by stating that discussing politics or religion was inappropriate, yet she did not maintain a neutral stance. She openly disagreed with the National Park Service’s historical interpretations and seemed judgmental about who she perceived us to be.
The tour itself involved little walking, primarily consisting of extended stops at the Customs House and the fort (which does offer beautiful views). Given our experience, we will be choosing a different tour for our next visit.
翻译:我们小组报名参加了汉密尔顿徒步之旅,但标题具有误导性。大部分行程都集中在丹麦统治下该岛的奴隶制历史,在 2.5 小时的体验中,只有大约 20 分钟专门介绍亚历山大·汉密尔顿。我们的学生很失望,因为他们一直渴望了解更多关于汉密尔顿的生活和影响。
此外,导游一开始就说讨论政治或宗教是不合适的,但她并没有保持中立立场。她公开反对国家公园管理局的历史解释,似乎对我们的看法有些偏见。
这次旅行本身涉及很少的步行,主要是在海关大楼和堡垒(确实提供了美丽的景色)停留了很长时间。根据我们的经验,我们将在下次访问时选择不同的旅行。
