“It’s our 2-d tour with Bruce, and we loved every minute of it! Excellent knowledge of New York, American history and culture, which was literally enlightening. He’s very detailed and illustrated in his explanations about the history, his enthusiasm for what he does made the tour fabulous. He knows a lot about the monuments and buildings that you stroll past on the tour. New York is lucky to have him as a tour guide!
