Highly recommend this tour and Bruce in particular. Very well versed on all things Washington, Hamilton, revolution and NY. Keeps you interested and engaged for the entire tour. I have done a number of walking tours and he was simply the best I have seen.

I can’t say enough positive things about this tour and guide! We had Bruce. He is an excellent tour guide! I did ask him how he got into such specific tours. He replied something like that he is just really passionate about history. This comes through in his tours. This is such a specific tour niche and he has years of experience. I was so happy we paid for his veteran tour experience. He was friendly to my teen and talked with him about his specific interests. Bruce connected the history to the musical Hamilton. He had these quotes that just blew my mind. I don’t know how he is able to memorize such long texts and keep it all organized within the tour. Long story short my little family of thee would go on a tour with Bruce any time!

Three generations of family took this delightful tour--from 11 years to 75 years. The kids love Broadway (looking at you, Hamilton) and the grandparents love history--the parents love for both of the other pairs to be happy. The walking wasn't too difficult for either end of the age spectrum--in fact we did lots of sitting in the shade, too. Bruce is a priceless New Yorker and completely fascinated us with a thorough and profound knowledge of revolutionary Manhattan. I think he absolutely under-charges for his tours. Very highly recommended!
