The tour was over 3 hours. Information was so organized and presented so well, I would’ve gladly stayed for another three hours.

As an educator and a frequent participant of guided history tours, I have found this tour to be one of the best. The three hours flew by as Bruce provided an overview of early American history in a thoroughly engaging and interesting manner. He has a wealth of knowledge and an abundance of stories that brings the era to life. He is open and approachable and he makes sure to answer all questions. Whether a neophyte or a history buff, this is the tour for you.

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.
