You know this looks great. You've carefully read the reviews like I have. (They're not wrong: it was engaging, stimulating, fascinating, and thought-provoking.) But here's the thing: in addition, Bruce accommodated our family like crazy, added extra time and information as he could, and engaged with 4 curious learners like the best of teachers. He even corresponded with me after the tour to give his thoughts on research I had found. He had seen it long before. Natch. If you have found a guide in any facet in life that can differentiate across knowledge levels, ages, and temperaments, then you have found gold. As we continue in the arduous task of building a more perfect union today, understanding the through-line so well presented in this tour will help you. And entertain you! Take the tour.

If only I had a history teacher as engaging as Bruce, I might have learned much more and wanted to learn about American History Long before Hamilton on Broadway! Lol

You are so kind. Thank you for your review. I'm so pleased to hear that you learned a lot about American history on the Hamilton & Washington tour. I hope to see you on the Brooklyn and/or Central Park tours for more engaging history. Thanks again, Bruce
