Had a great time with Bruce. He really knew his stuff and was very engaging. He was also very accommodating and found places to get us out of the rain. Also appreciated the comfort break and the stickers!

A lot of walking and standing, but very much worth it! Our tour guide was especially clear and knowledgeable- a delight! It was great to learn about, and see actual locations and buildings from the 1776 era.

Very interesting tour! I learned so much about U.S. history on this tour. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and interesting. Even though many of the landmarks are no longer intact, I thought the guide did a great job of storytelling and imagination. Next time I'm in NYC I would like to take another tour from this company.
It was very cold at the southern tip of Manhattan in February, so dress appropriately to be outside for a couple hours. There wasn't much walking, it was a very small area with a lot of history.
Response from Host, Jan 2025

I look forward to seeing you again soon for another tour. All the best, Bruce

George was amazing. He interacted with our multigenerational tour group with skill and I learned so much. This was the best history tour I’ve ever taien.
As an aside, this was a hot muggy disgusting day in NYC, and I swear that this man found us every bit is shade and breeze possible.
Highly recommend l!
