This tour was one of the best experiences I’ve had in New York! The information was amazing, but it was truly brought to life by Bruce, the tour guide and master. Thank you Bruce for a glimpse into the past!

To hear the history of Hamilton and Washington in relation to NYC was wonderful. I hadn't read about them since elementary school and saw them in anew light as we visited the parts of the city where the events took place. The tour leader was superb!

Our tour guide Bruce, made the entire experience of this lower Manhattan tour from beginning to end so interesting. We felt immersed in this time period in history hearing from Bruce and its importance for our country’s beginning. It was fascinating! His knowledge and passion was so engaging! Do not miss this tour for everyone to witness this important part of our country’s history in New York City.
