Despite the fact that I have been a New Yorker for many years and work in the Wall Street area, Bruce Racond's, small group, three hour journey through historical sites in lower Manhattan revealed much that I had never seen. I was particularly moved by the passion he brought in telling the stories of the founding of our Republic. Washington and Hamilton (and many others) come alive in his telling. His knowledge, insight and the visuals he displayed gave us a unique look at the miracle that began on July 4, 1776. Bruce also sent follow-up emails with links to many of the points of interest. This is a very special tour - I plan to sign up for his other programs.

We love taking tours when we travel so we figured why not take a tour in our own backyard. We stumbled across Revolutionary Tours, and had the best time. Bruce is a talented guide and gifted story teller. We enjoyed the tour so much we immediately signed up for his Central Park tour.

Bruce is the best ! Learned so much about Hamilton and Washington, and our budding nation's history during such a vital period of US history on this walking tour through lower Manhattan. Bruce is truly a scholar of US history, and patiently answered all of our questions with expertise.
