What a great day!! Bruce is terrific at engaging the group- especially the young ones. He has a million stories, anecdotes, and has a very warm and welcoming style. No question is too small and he is happy to get the group guessing his trivia questions. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! He found shady spots at every viewing and there were several spots to sit and listen. He really is extremely knowledgeable and I can’t wait to take his Brooklyn and Central Park your.

I can’t say enough positive things about this tour and guide! We had Bruce. He is an excellent tour guide! I did ask him how he got into such specific tours. He replied something like that he is just really passionate about history. This comes through in his tours. This is such a specific tour niche and he has years of experience. I was so happy we paid for his veteran tour experience. He was friendly to my teen and talked with him about his specific interests. Bruce connected the history to the musical Hamilton. He had these quotes that just blew my mind. I don’t know how he is able to memorize such long texts and keep it all organized within the tour. Long story short my little family of thee would go on a tour with Bruce any time!
