Over the July 4th long weekend I had the absolute pleasure to do the Hamilton/Washington tour with Bruce; I consider myself an American Revolutionary war buff having studied many aspects of the events leading up to that struggle and the war itself; I must say Bruce is "all over it" and provided an absolutely amazing tour and terrific insight to lower Manhattan and the events that took place there; And not only was Bruce "all over it" he presents himself and the tour in such a fun, enjoyable and exciting way that I would recommend this tour to everybody - it is a must do!

Visiting my son in NYC, we took this tour on the 4th of July! It was fantastic and Bruce is a wonderful tour guide! So knowledgeable and informative, he went above and beyond. I’ve taken several historical tours in Boston, but this tour stands out as one of the best. It was a pretty warm afternoon and Bruce made sure we stayed in the shade as much as possible. It’s advertised as a 3 hour tour, but there was so much information, it was actually 3 1/2 hours. I highly recommend!

First, we are locals, meaning we are New Yorkers and from Brooklyn to be exact and I always want to know more about my hometown. I saw this pop up in Goldstar and thought it was very interesting because we are history buffs. I brought three tickets but the very last min I couldn't go so the following review is base on what my husband and my 16 yo son told me. " We were so intrigued and learned so much from the tour. We didn't think there's anymore we could learn but Bruce really gave so much knowledge to this tour that we were so happy that we came on this tour. Tbh, my wife bought the tickets and we were just going to tag along with her but at the last min she couldn't go so we went without her. She sure missed out on a wonderful tour and Bruce is top notch historian! We can't wait to take his other tours."
