LOVED this tour! Bruce was fantastic! He is very knowledgable and made this tour one of the highlights of our trip! One of the best tours I have been on in my travels. Bruce did an amazing job giving us the historical information about the Brooklyn Bridge as well as the history of Brooklyn. He has so much knowledge and is able to present it in such an interesting way. His love for the area comes through and he made this tour such a delight. He welcomed questions, made recommendations for things to do and see after the tour, and took us some great places for amazing views as well as delicious food. Bruce also sent us links after the tour for the information he shared with us as well as things he thought we might enjoy learning more about. He even sent a follow-up text to my husband and me about another attraction we had mentioned that we were going to later tat evening stating that he hoped we had an easy trip on the subway to get there (he provided us with directions for the best way to get to that location) and also that he hoped we had a great experience and enjoyed the views. We thought that was a very nice touch. We can't recommend or rave about this tour enough. BONUS: Bruce is a great photographer (took photos for everyone so that they didn't all have to be selfies!) If you are considering going across the Brooklyn Bridge, TAKE THIS TOUR! You will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much. I am very happy to read that you enjoyed the Brooklyn tour experience AND it was a highlight of your trip to New York. I am so fortunate to have had you both on the tour. I hope to see you again on the Hamilton & Washington or Secret Places of Central Park tours soon. All the best, Bruce

Bruce did such an incredible job on this tour. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about each area we explored, but his delivery of the history made very clear the passion he has for this city. It was wonderful to be able to hear all of the great stories and moments behind such an iconic place, and especially from someone who clearly cares so much about it. Such an awesome way to experience Brooklyn.
