Bruce is an amazing guide. The Secrets of Central Park was my second tour with him (we went on the Hamilton and Washington tour a few years ago and loved it), and he did not disappoint. As usual, the tour is full of information, but not overwhelming. Sometimes you go on walking tours and it’s fact after fact and it’s just too much. Bruce, however, is very good at balancing just the right amount of information. I really loved exploring a new part of Central Park as well. This is a great tour for anyone interested in some of NYC’s history and just a nice way to get outside. Wear a mask! And thanks again, Bruce!
