If every history class were like this tour, kids would be crashing the gates to get in. Bruce is a gifted speaker---he tells a story that's loaded with intriguing details. And the sites together with "show and tell" pictures bring all it alive. Worth every single penny. Go. You'll love it.

Although it was a brisk and windy day, we had the most amazing time on this tour. Bruce is an outstanding tour guide. He was engaging, well-spoken and interacted with the tour participants. He made every attempt to try to keep us warm during the tour, but just listening to him speak, we just didn't seem to mind it! Bruce gave such insight into Washinton's and Hamilton's relationship and if you saw the musical, he was sure to include information relevant to that. Most impressive was the fact that after the tour, Bruce sent an email out to each tour participant with more information and links to other sources. I look forward to taking one of his other tours! ( only when it is a little warmer, LOL!).

Today I took my second tour with Bruce Racond, the very talented guide of Revolutionary Tours Inc. of NYC ! A little while ago I also took the " Secrets of Central Park " tour and was very impressed. Today we went on the Hamilton & Washington Tour in downtown NYC. It was fascinating to see the behind the scene picture of that very important time in American History. As two locals we sooo much enjoyed the whole tour and the super engaging story telling of Bruce ! If you are into history and want to learn about the story behind the story/place you HAVE to take one of Bruce's tour !!!
