Best historic walking tour in NYC! - I had the pleasure of joining Bruce’s “Hamilton & Washington in New York” tour twice—once on my own and once with friends. As a longtime fan of the musical Hamilton, it was the original reason I chose the tour, but the experience far exceeded my expectations. Each time, I learned new historical insights, and the tour truly opened my eyes to the pivotal role New York City played during the American Revolutionary War. Bruce, a certified tour guide with a degree in American history, brings remarkable depth and energy to the experience, and his passion shines through in his engaging storytelling. His parting remarks even brought tears to my eyes! I highly recommend this tour not only to Hamilton fans, but to anyone interested in learning more about these two founding fathers and New York City’s rich Revolutionary-era history.

Engaging tour for all ages - My six year old son and I took the Washington and Hamilton tour. Bruce made booking the experience easy and was flexible in regard to time and length of tour. The tour itself was fantastic - Bruce came prepared with materials we could take home to remember what we learned and somehow managed to make the tour engaging both for me and my son. We both learned a lot and had a great time on the tour.

You won’t be disappointed! Bruce is amazing! - If you’re interested in tour steeped in American history with insights exceeding a college professor, this is the tour for you. On a day with windchills in single digits, Bruce kept everyone engaged (and warm with some indoor stops). All ages will enjoy and learn! Can’t recommend highly enough. Great communication with and accessibility to Bruce ahead of time for planning purposes. Bruce even advised with best sledding places in Central Park for our family (snowed about a foot in Central Park the day after the tour). When we return to NYC, we’ll 100% take another tour of Bruce’s!

If you love history this the tour for you! - If you think you know George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, take this walking tour and prepare to be joyfully corrected. This American Revolution walking tour through New York City is nothing short of spectacular, and Bruce is the secret weapon that turns history into a living, breathing epic. Questions are welcomed and answered with insight that feels tailored, thoughtful, and endlessly engaging. By the end, you don’t feel like you finished a tour. You feel like you walked out of a particularly great historical novel, except the skyline is real and your feet are tired. This tour is an absolute must for history lovers, Hamilton fans, and anyone who wants to see New York City through the lens of revolution, genius, and grit. Bruce is a phenomenal guide, and this experience is easily one of the most memorable ways to explore NYC.

Rain or shine. - It was a rainy, and cloudy day. Despite the weather, the guide painted a captivating picture of Washington Hamilton, and of New York City during the revolution. If you’re thinking of going, it doesn’t matter if it’s rain or shine, you’ll thoroughly enjoy yourself.

What an Experience! - Excellent tour. We were a family of three with a 9 year old who loved it as much, if not more, than we did. Bruce was outstanding and we hope to take his Central Park tour on our next visit.
