Fantastic walking tour through Brooklyn! Bruce is one of the BEST tour leaders that I've ever encountered! I look forward to signing up for one of his other walking tours on my next visit!
Bruce is the Best!!!

What a great tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable as a full fledged New Yorker. He had great insights and shared many fun tidbits of information.

Outstanding guide for a fantastic extended tour

Outstanding guide for a great tour. Bruce was engaged and well informed. His addition of the DUMBO Brooklyn tour including a great chocolatier, Jane’s carousel and a Brooklyn Heights mansion history & tour rounded this out beautifully 😉
Great tour!!

Enjoyed Thoroughly! Excellent Guide!

BALJIT_N, Sep 2022
The enthusiasm of Bruce the guide was remarkable. He related historical details about the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn relating it to famous movies and programs, too.
Brooklyn, the undiscovered gem.
Carrollanne_L, Nov 2021
This was a wonderful tour. I cannot recommend seeing Brooklyn with Bruce too highly. He made the area fascinating, his history knowledge is superb and he really makes the entire area come alive. He’s also very tolerant; he let me stop for a lobster roll! Will also show you the best chocolate shop in Brooklyn.. Find out about the amazing Emily Rowbling , a real role model for our times.
