I was born in Brooklyn but had not been back in over 30+ years. After taking Bruce’s amazing Washington-Hamilton Tour, I thought I would see what I could learn and re-learn about
Brooklyn.
This tour did NOT disappoint! I was so pleased with learning so much new and fascinating history (esp. about the great Brooklyn Bridge) but also experiencing the world-renown views of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty only possible from DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). I also finally saw the view of the Manhattan Bridge that I have seen in so many movies and car commercials. The finale was seeing the fabulous mansions and townhomes of Brooklyn Heights where so many celebrities live and seeing where the film Moonstruck was set. It was beautiful, quiet- an incredible respite from the noise of the rest of the city and I was fueled by a delicious cold treat from the Jacques Torres chocolate shop that we visited before we went up the hill. It was a great experience. Catch the tour of you can!

What an amazing tour. The walk across the bridge provided wonderful views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Our guide Bruce’s rich treasure trove of history, local lore and incredible tidbits of fun information made this experience come alive. Bruce was an engaging and knowledgeable guide and Brooklyn’s history, architecture and sights were fantastic.

This tour was fantastic! If Bruce had been my history teacher I’d have a career as a historian. He is knowledgeable and engaging and has organized a tour that walks you through key moments of Revolutionary (and some Civil War) history, Brooklyn Bridge history, and highlights of Dumbo history. It was a wonderful break from busy Manhattan. Don’t miss this one. I’ll be back for his other offerings as well.

The best walking tour I have been on in the USA, and perhaps the world. Truly knowledgeable and interesting. It's the right amount of time and balance of Brooklyn contrasts, with interesting history thrown in. Bruce was terrific, perfect personality for a tour guide. Enjoy!

Bruce is great. He's a really friendly and knowledgable guide. I've lived in Brooklyn for 5 years and wanted to understand the area better - Bruce made the tour so interesting and his passion and knowledge of the area is infectious. I know he does other tours and I'm excited to go on another one again soon. Highly recommended!

Bruce was an excellent tour guide and historian. He is extremely knowledgable and passionate about history and it makes the day more enjoyable for everyone . We had a wonderful tour on a lovely day and learned so much about this history of the bridge building and the area in Brooklyn, which was new for us. He is also an excellent photographer and someone managed to take photos that made it look like my husband and I were the only 2 people on the bridge! The stop for hot chocolate was definitely a treat not to be missed. I would highly recommend this tour with Bruce. We were very sad we weren't going to be around to check out his Central park tour, which sounded great as well.

Fascinating history of the bridge, the park, the development of the DUMBO area, the Heights and the Battle of Brooklyn brought to life by brilliant guide, Bruce Racond. The vistas from the bridge were astounding and every stop added to the story. We would highly recommend this walking tour with Bruce and would happily attend any of the other walks he offers.
