For a terrific look at the relationship between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton in Revolutionary War America, this tour is fantastic. Bruce makes you feel as if you were there, giving insights into the war, their personalities and the long term impacts of what they accomplished, all with very well researched information, a sense of humor and even the words of Washington and Hamilton. I highly recommend this tour.

I recently took the Hamilton and Washington tour with Bruce and I was blown away by his depth of knowledge. His passion, his humor, his attention to detail. He was considerate, articulate, and incredibly well versed in the subject matter. Bruce is a wonderful historian and everyone in our country should experience this knowledge first hand. I will be recommending to everyone I know. Thank you Bruce for a fabulous tour!

Bruce’s tour was a great overview of the Washington - Hamilton partnership, as well as insightful background on the specific tour sites in lower Manhattan. Bruce is passionate about history and about New York. The tour has something for every background from novice to history buff. Inspiring and well worth the time and cost!
