Bruce's tour was amazing! Thank you!!! - Bruce was an amazing and informative tour guide! I've lived in Brooklyn for years and learned so many new things. We toured with my father-in-law who is from out of town and a history buff, and he greatly enjoyed the tour as well. We look forward to going on Bruce's other tours in the future.

Brilliant Bruce - Brooklyn’s best is better with our guide named Bruce. He provided an excellent, informative and insightful small group tour starting in lower Manhattan. His knowledge and value added insights ensured the 3 hours past ‘in a blink of an eye.’ He even helped us catch the correct subway back.

Fantastic tour of Brooklyn and the bridge! - ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC TOUR!! Bruce was super knowledgeable and fun. I learned so much about Brooklyn, the making of the bridge, where to get the best chocolate and ice cream and where to go for terrific walks. Can't recommend this tour enough. Not only will I be taking my husband on it, but we'll be looking at the other tours Bruce gives!!!

Most knowledgeable person on NY history that you’ll ever meet! - We were pretty much in awe the entire tour. This is our second tour with Bruce; won’t be our last. He uses the phrase “hidden in plain sight.” Sadly most of us walk past important and fascinating history and don’t even know what we’re looking at. That’s why we hire Bruce. He is a native New Yorker, and I think he knows more than Google!
