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!
