Inspiring! Interesting! - Wow! I’d listen to this historian just sitting in a sterile room. Walking around lower Manhattan and hearing all about GW and Hamilton was downright inspiring. It makes me even more proud to be an American. Is our history flawed? Yes. But WE are the custodians of the great experiment. WE are the ones responsible for moving us toward a more perfect union. I will return for more of his tours any time I’m in NYC. Side note—He was too professional to say it and I was too shy. The personality differences between Washington and Hamilton were GW: If it is necessary for the overall benefit of the country we must do it. Hamilton: Let’s f-ing gooooooo! Many thanks from a nurse in Texas. ☮️❤️

Great tour & host! - This was a great tour of little-known NYC history with a focus on the pre and post-Revolutionary period. We covered a lot of walking ground and historical facts over the tour and had time for a brief bathroom/drink break halfway through, which was appreciated. The tour guide (Bruce) was very knowledgable, handled a variety of Q&A, and had a strong grasp on and energy for the history of our city. I would highly recommend this tour and Bruce generally, and we look forward to attending his Central Park walking tour in the near future. 5 stars!

Totally TERRIFIC! - This tour was truly the best tour I’ve ever had. Bruce was phenomenal in his range and depth of knowledge as well as his passion for history and exuberance in sharing it with his audience…and I use that word specifically because he recited so many of America’s most treasured words from so many situations, it felt like “living” the history; Absolutely terrific! Already registered for another of his tours tomorrow!!! THANK YOU!

Fascinating tour for adults or kids - Fun and interesting tour downtown. Our group was a parent and 3 elementary schoolers on an otherwise adult tour. The kids loved it and were fully engrossed (as did the adults on the tour). Bruce was engaging, high energy, and very entertaining. A lot of cool stuff to see amongst the skyscrapers that I never really noticed working in the area as an adult.

A MUST do tour - What can we say Bruce was absolutely amazing he was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tour for us was mainly for my daughter who loves the American Revolution and admittedly I knew nothing prior (despite her trying to teach me) but even I was deeply engrossed by the delivery of the history. Bruce really knows his stuff and its clear to see how passionate he is. He even gave us little tips on other places to see whilst in New York (St Paul's Chapel was lovely so thank you for that) This is a MUST! I wish we was here for longer to book the central park tour! Thank You again

Fascinating and engaging tour, perfect for history lovers - Bruce was a phenomenal tour guide. He is so passionate and knowledgeable about American history and provided a fun and engaging experience. We not only learned about Hamilton and Washington’s lives in New York, but also about the transformation of lower Manhattan into what it is today. This tour is a must for all Hamilton fans and history buffs.
