I was in NYC a few weeks ago and took both the Best of Brooklyn and Secrets of Central Park tours (I also took the Washington/Hamilton downtown tour in 2019). All three tours are delightful, more than worth the money and time!! Each tour usually has about 10 attendees, which makes it easy to gather around Bruce and listen to the wealth of information he has interspersed through the walk. He is steeped in New York and American history as well as helpful local tourist tips. The walks are invigorating but not difficult, and each has a restroom break built in around halfway. Bruce enjoys answering questions and visiting with guests during the walk. If he creates more tours, I’ll take them!

THE MOST IMPORTANR THINGS are BRUCE'S KNOWLEDGE, ENTHUSIASM AND ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE . I have partcipated in all 3 of his programs and also enjoyed communicating with other participants. I have already spread the word to neighbors and friends and hope they will sign up in the near future. What makes Bruce's tours special are his wide ranging historical knowledge, his warm personality and the pictures he uses to enhance the verbal accounts. I would call him a hsitorian, teacher and entertainer. If he adds anohuerh tour, i will ewrtianly take it. So, a word here about the feeling I got from the Washington/Hamilton tour and the Brooklyn tour was a feeling of almost knowing the historical persons involved in the history. And it was exciting for me as a born Brooklynite, to know that i was standing where Washington or the "savior" of themagnificnet Brooklyn Bridge had stood. (Take the tour to learn her name and all about her.)
