Bruce’s enthusiasm was palpable and honestly learned so much that I didn’t know . The Brooklyn bridge walking tour was the best part of our weekend . He covered a lot of territory , and I found him to be a very considerate guide . Wish I could have fit in the Central Park tour as well but that’s for next time . Do not hesitate to reach out to him . He is the BEST

Bruce was an amazing fountain of fabulous information. Easy to understand, made the area come alive for us. He helped us understand the huge importance of the Brooklyn Bridge within the history of New York. He was able to answer every single question, had great visual aids and made the entire afternoon such a pleasure. I highly recommend him! Just bummed we don’t have time to take one of his other tours.

We did this tour as a family of 5– 3 kids aged 17 to 22. The tour was fantastic from beginning to end. Bruce was informative and highly engaging. A much more worthwhile experience than just walking the bridge by ourselves. Would highly recommend to anybody considering this tour.
