Bruce’s energy and erudition were incredible. I learned so much about not just Hamilton and Washington but also the founding principles and the conceptual framework upon which the constitution is based.

I knew I wanted to learn more about the history of NYC on my recent trip, and this tour fit the bill perfectly. The whole tour was so interesting, packed full of information, and Bruce is an incredible guide. Three hours flew by! The day was clear, cold and windy, but Bruce made sure we had a break halfway through the tour for coffee/bathroom. Whenever I return to NYC, I definitely want to book another one of Bruce's tours!
