This is one of the best walking tours I have done. Bruce is truest knowledgeable and passionate about the American history. The walk is enjoyable and we learnt a lot more about the city even though we have been here for almost 10 years. Recommend this to everyone who is thinking about a walking tour and is very interested in American history!!

This is a fabulous tour for everyone in the family. Bruce entertains the teenage Hamiltons fans, educates the history fans while wowing local New Yorkers! Even a month after the tour Bruce continues to communicate with patrons, sharing historical photos, videos and activities. Go on the tour! Kathy

Bruce is a dedicated tour guide who is not only a history buff but possesses a vast knowledge base about the Revolutionary War and NYC. He patiently and expertly answered the many questions from the group and kept us fascinated throughout the tour. He is very detailed but always interesting. I consider myself somewhat of a history buff but I learned a tremendous amount of information about Washington. Hamilton, and early NYC. I highly recommend this tour and plan to take the Central Park tour next.
