Fun Learning History - Bruce, It was one of the best tours we’ve ever taken and a major part of it was your expertise! You’re smart and with a keen sense of humour so that you never lost our attention. We will be doing more tours with you this year and next. We will recommend you to our friends. Thank you for making it fun and educational.

Exceptional tours with brilliant historian - Bruce is an absolutely exceptional history scholar, and he makes every tour a learning and sensory amazing experience. We have done 3 tours with him and have learned more than we ever knew about the city’s history and about the places and people who made transformative change. I cannot recommend him highly enough. We have greatly enjoyed every visit with him and plan to do more when we return.

A must see tour both if you're a staunch New Yorker or a visitor - Wow. This tour was hands down one of the best I've ever taken - and I take a lot of historical tours. Bruce's deep knowledge, well-researched anecdotes, memorized passages and quotes, and passion for history will bring the formative first days of the US alive. Whether you're visiting New York and about to see Hamilton on Broadway, or were born and lived here all your life - you will never see the downtown streets of Manhattan the same again. If you want to feel like you're Nicolas Cage in National Treasure on a Saturday afternoon, that's all good too. Bruce brings olds maps, knows the little-known details about Revolutionary stories and leads you along old stomping grounds from Old Amsterdam in 1600s. Absolutely a must see tour!

a great overview of Revolutionary War history in NYC - Bruce was an amazing tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and his passion for history was transmitted in his delivery. He was very conscious of our comfort level on a very hot day, keeping us in the shade as much as possible. Our 10 year-old grandson enjoyed it as much as we did!

A fun and engaging experience for the whole family - Our entire family (13 yr old, 9 yr old and parents) loved this tour. Bruce is a that gem of a teacher that we all remember - someone who is not only an expert in the content, but is passionate about the topic AND highly skilled in sharing their knowledge. Bruce was able to keep everyone engaged for the whole tour with questions and commentary that only someone with his expertise and passion can offer. My daughters were delighted to enhance the basic revolutionary war knowledge they learned by watching the Hamilton musical. Bruce's telling of the Battle of Brooklyn was one my 13 yr old's favorite stories from the tour. I strongly recommend this tour not only to visitors, but to NYC residents as well. We lived in NYC for a number of years, and loved learning new things about familiar neighborhoods. If we visit NYC again we look forward to taking other tours with Bruce.

Great walking tour with a knowledgeable guide (Bruce) . Interesting and informative. - I love US Revolutionary War history but I am not that familiar with what occurred in the New York City area. The tour was very enjoyable and interesting. Bruce was very knowledgeable and painted a picture during the walking tour of the people and events during the war. I highly recommend the tour.

You MUST take this tour! - Bruce is not only one of the most knowledgable people on the topic of Revolutionary War history - he is an incredible storyteller. He brings Washington and Hamilton to life. What an important time for us all to better know how this country was born and how close it came to being a failed dream.
