This tour was excellent! Bruce is so passionate about American history, his energy kept everyone engaged throughout the tour. It was exceedingly cold during our tour so he modified it a bit for our comfort but we still got to visit the most impressive sites and we were all thankful for the little breaks from the cold. Our group was a great size with kids ranging from elementary school through high school and all the kids were just as intrigued by the tour as the adults. We will certainly go on another one of Bruce’s tours during our next nyc trip!

I cannot describe to you how much my partner and I enjoyed our Washington and Hamilton tour with Bruce. His ability to share the people and events was inspiring, emotional, and clearly borne from his deep passion of the subject. It has been weeks and I am still relating only a bit to friends and family of what I learned in those short three hours around Battery and Wall Street. I am seriously inspired by the messaging of how our country was formed and, even during our tour, silently wished that every one of our elected representatives could take his tour and see America from the earliest, dawning days that Bruce demonstrated. It sounds like hyperbole but if you do this tour, you will see what I mean. I grew up in NYC's shadow and now I see it in a new light.

My daughter and I went on one of the tours and absolutely loved it. I've read a lot of American history over recent years and was blown away by Bruce's knowledge, as well as his enthusiasm and energy! The tour was inspiring and fun. After having such a great experience, I plan to go on Bruce's other tours.
