| I am a middle school history teacher and thoroughly enjoyed our Revolutionary War walking tour. Our guide was very well prepared and knowledgeable. I learned so much about New York's role during the revolutionary period. My daughter and sister in law also commented on our guide's enthusiasm and ability to hold their attention despite the distractions of weather and general city commotion. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. |

| The tour guide, Karen, was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Although most of the sites of historical value no longer exist, the tour does an excellent job of identifying the location of the site, and describing the site and the surrounding area. |

| While a bit of an info overload for my 10 year old, my 13 year old recognized much of her recent Social Studies curriculum and really got into it. It was great to get a deeper understanding of our hometown's history and make conections to the significance of things we see every day. Karen was superb! She was friendly, professional and informative. |

| This walk was full of great information about the Revolutionary War era in New York with lots of discussion about the interesting citizens during that time. We found it fascinating. |

| We were two couples from Minnesota and had a great time. It's wonderful to walk the city with a guide who is bursting with knowledge--not just someone who knows the script. So we couldn't be more positive. Whether you love history or not, there was a lot there for you.
My one suggestion: my legs aren't as good as the guides. Three hours without sitting is too much for me. With a little planning, she could find places for people on the tour to sit occasionally while she talks. Not to sit and waste time, just to sit as she talks. I found them for myself. But there where steps to sit on, benches to sit on, etc. She's so enthusiastic about what she describing, I don't think this crosses her mind. If she just went to each of the locations and looked around for a moment, there are places where people could sit as she talks.
It was great. We'll recommend it to friends. |

| The walking tour was more of a narrow history lecture, and less walking and pointing out actual historical information. |
