Best tour I’ve ever been on. My daughter who is 11 and passionate about American history described it as “the best day of her life”. Our guide was excellent and incredibly knowledgeable. Two huge thumbs up!

Great tour. Bruce is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. My husband and I loved it.

For kids- maybe best for teens with a real interest either in history or the Hamilton musical.

The guide is very knowledgeable and personable. This was 3 hours well spent for locals, tourists or aspiring history buffs.

Bruce is amazingly interesting and knowledgeable! Some things were reminders of what I learned (& forgot)years ago as a student. Some I never heard before. I wish I took this tour prior to seeing Hamilton.

Bruce is so knowledgeable. He makes history come alive! WOW!

Bruce is a delightful and super knowledgeable guide. He had visual aids (including video) throughout the tour. He was welcoming of questions and made sure everyone was included in the experience. I would highly recommend this tour!

Bruce was great! Love the flip book he had, very friendly and informative. A 3 hour tour (no pun intended) may seem like a long time, but it actually flew by and we went about :30 over our time. It was COLD and Windy on our tour date and he was...continued

It's a super informative, enjoyable time. Bruce makes the history come alive, he's a true scholar.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, warm, and engaging! He also followed up with materials for those who wanted more information.

This is an incredible tour. The tour guide, Bruce, is brilliant. So much history in this area of NYC. It is a full 3 hour tour, and entertaining every minute. Don't miss it.

Bruce is such a nice guy - great tour

Bruce was an amazing guide. He had a wealth of knowledge and my entire family loved the tour. We can’t wait to take another one of his tours.

Docent Bruce kept us hanging on every word-a mighty task given the weather was brutally cold and windy. Interesting, knowledgeable, 3 hours passed by quickly.
I highly recommend this tour!!
