Bruce was such an incredible tour guide! Very informative, very friendly, and extremely interesting. He did a great job unearthing details about lower Manhattan that have become hidden in plain sight and telling a full story about Hamilton and Washington's development and vision.

Thank you for your review. There is so much to see and know about early American history in Lower Manhattan if you know where to look. I'm so glad you chose to explore it with me. I hope to see you again soon. Bruce

Tour guide Bruce Ramont offered a riveting tour that made familiar sites and buildings in the southern tip of Manhattan light up with significance. Ever wonder why it’s called Wall Street? And where was “the room where it happened?” Where did Hamilton meet Hercules Mulligan? He also delivered compelling stories about Washington, Hamilton, and the mixture of pluck and dumb luck that favored the Americans in the first years of their rebellion against the world’s largest military. Bruce brings intensive reading and research, tremendous energy and enthusiasm, and a notebook of historical paintings/ documents to the tour. I deeply respect his attention to the women in the story — Martha, Eliza, and the caravan of washerwomen, cooks, and nurses who accompanied the rebel army throughout the war.

I can't thank you enough for your review and kind words. It was such a pleasure to have you all on the tour and I always hope that people will have the experience that you did. Sharing the stories of the myriad of people, including women, who participated in their sacrifice is the only way to understand the truly revolutionary Founding. I hope to see you again on another tour. Thanks again, Bruce

Our tour guide was named Bruce, he was phenomenal!! It was clear and evident that he did not just have a cookie cutter regurgitation of information; he truly LOVED the material he was discussing and was so knowledgeable. He was probably the most engaging tour guide I have had. He was funny, kind and so very enjoyable to be around. 10/10 recommend BRUCE!
