After seeing the Broadway show Hamilton, my friend's 12 years old daughter wanted to see where the events took place. We found this tour and hoped she would enjoy it enough where she didn't realize she's walking and standing for 3 hours. From the first question Bruce (the tour wizard, who was quoting from different speeches and has amazing knowledge of history and passion for it) asked her, she got engaged in conversation. The 3 hours went by very quickly and our heads were full of new information and amazing facts. We are excited to read all the email links and info Bruce sent us after the tour. If you are not interested in history, you will be after you take this tour! We plan to take the other tours Bruce offers. Thank you Bruce!

The tour guide, Bruce, is very knowledgeable and entertaining. This is a superb tour and I have been on many, all over the world. He is an excellent storyteller and makes history come alive. It's a long tour, but well worth it. I highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide Bruce led my fiancé and I on a group tour through prominent historical places connected to both Alexander Hamilton and George Washington in NYC. The sheer enthusiasm, attention to detail, and knowledge of the events that shaped America in Revolutionary times captured us both on a tour that was meticulously beautifully orchestrated! We were ecstatic by the end and are craving to learn more about Hamilton and Washington outside of this event, and other personal sources of information, including the Broadway performance of Hamilton. If you’re on the fence don’t even hesitate - I am a native New Yorker and I learned more information about my hometown than I realized! I would take this tour again in a heartbeat, and am looking forward to exploring his other group tours in Brooklyn and Central Park. Thank you, Bruce! Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on riveting moments that make our Country a great one
