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!

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.

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
