Bruce was super friendly and knowledgeable. He was happy and able to answer any questions anyone had. The tour moved slowly from spot to spot to allow plenty of time for photos. The only thing about that though is if you move a little bit away from Bruce to take a photo, you miss what he says. The tour is already 3 hours though so allowing additional time for photos to eliminate this issue might make the tour too long. The full distance covered isn’t that much, you spend most time standing in one spot at a time. Enjoyable experience and we’d book with Bruce again.

If you like US history you will love it after taking the Hamilton Washington tour with Bruce. He is engaging, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and he makes this important history come alive. Bruce captured and conveyed the angst, wisdom, and elegance of Washington and Hamilton, and the dynamic and strained relationships Hamilton had with some of the other key founding fathers. You will be moved, touched and inspired by this tour as it provides the perspective of and reasoning of the very smart and thoughtful founding fathers which is so relevant today.

I have lived in NYC for 40 years and yet Bruce introduced me to so many facts and locations which I had never heard, seen or known. Bruce really knows his history and quoted from memory so many of Washington's and Hamilton's writings and speeches. Very informative and a must-do for everyone who has even a smidgen of interest in the the formation of our democracy.
