I have taken The Brooklyn Revolution! tour with Bruce Racond on 10/30/2021.
The route and the stops were well-planned and gave us beautiful views, architectural details,not to mention delicious hot chocolate, leading to multiple exciting moments of intellectual rediscovery around each corner of the usual we thought we knew. On the tour,Bruce brought to life such iconic places, like the Tweed Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and many more by immersing us in the historic events back then and lives of important public figures of the day.
I highly recommend Revolutionary Tours.You will see multiple new layers of history even in the places that you thought you knew.
Bruce’s enthusiasm and about history and New York City itself is contagious. His preparedness,depth of knowledge and attention to detail are rare and are rather impressive, just like the binder with documents,maps,charts and photos which he carries around to illustrate his talk (weighs at least 6 pounds:)),as well as the hand outs detailing the route and the highlights of the tour, not to mention a possible follow up email complementing something that had been discussed on the tour…He thinks of everything!
People skills paired with a passion of a historian and professional expertise are a winning combination! 5 out of 5!
