I highly recommend the Hamilton & Washington walking tour for anyone interested in learning more context for the Hamilton musical or anyone interested in the Revolutionary era history of New York. Bruce is an engaging, knowledgeable guide who conveys his passion for this subject by providing a thorough overview of the time period and key figures while guiding you to relevant sites where it happened at the tip of Manhattan. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Bruce's tour renewed our pride and passion of being American and New Yorkers. His knowledge and delivery were outstanding. It is more than just a tour, it ties historical events together in an entertaining and meaningful way. He reignited our interest in further exploring our past. It was so interesting that we almost forgot how cold it was. We have done many walking tours all around the world and this one was the best one of them all! Bruce is a master tour leader and we look forward to joining his other tours.
