Spent a phenomenal afternoon walking lower Manhattan with Bruce. His presentation is detailed, insightful, and entertaining. The pacing was perfect with a mix of stops and chances to sit, lots of photo-worthy points, and great dashes of humor. As big fans of the musical, the tour took us so much further into the history of the early history of our country, the details of the ever changing neighborhood that once was all there was of the city, and gave us more insight into the players of the time and their interactions. Bruce has an amazing knowledge of New York, past and present. We look forward to the opportunity to tour with him again on a future trip to New York!

Bruce, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and he had all kinds of photos to accompany his stories. He transported us back to a different time period and yet made us think about the freedom we have today. His excitement about Alexander Hamilton (and George Washington et al) was just what any history buff would want to hear. We loved gaining a new perspective of this historical little section of NYC. We had a great time! Highly recommend. Take this tour!
