Great History Tour in Modern Manhattan
A walking tour with an expert in history is both intellectually stimulating and an ideal way to get some exercise! Bruce makes the time fly by with his story telling, maps, photos and invites questions along the way. I really enjoyed learning the history and fun facts that were shared. The maps and quotes provided bring it all to life even among all that is modern in Manhattan.
Operator response
Wow. Thank you for your wonderful review of the Hamilton & Washington tour. I'm so glad you found it stimulating and enjoyable... and the exercise is an added bonus. I hope to see you again soon for another tour. Thanks again, Bruce

Bringing history to life - great tour!
My family and I loved this tour! We learned a lot and Bruce was a really engaging guide. He shared a lot of stories that brought the history to life, and also shared a number of quotes/excerpts that contextualized things as well as showed us maps and paintings that made the whole experience really engaging. I love history and have lived in NYC for years and still learned so much on this tour, and Bruce kept it fun in addition to being really interesting.

Amazing tour for any history lover!
I am local to the NY area and was eager to learn more about the Revolutionary history of NYC. I signed up for this tour focused on Hamilton and Washington, and was blown away by the experience. Bruce was an exceptional guide - passionate, knowledgeable, and kind, with a deep expertise in American History. He patiently brought to life NYC's history in a way that was memorable, engaging, and fun. While I had previously seen many of the sites on my own, this was the first time I had the full story behind every spot that we stopped by. I learned a lot and will definitely be signing up for another tour; I have already shared my experience with friends. I highly recommend this walking tour with Revolutionary Tours NYC!
