Knowledgeable and Well Presented
Wed, Nov 26  10:00 AM Cassady19 Male 30-39 Local Family Without Children
I had my step-father in town, who is interested in history and likes a walk. Having similar interests myself, I thought the Revolutionary Era Walking Tour would fit the bill. I've taken tours in other towns, for similar reasons - it's a good way to get a different view than most guide books could or would give you. So much, however, depends on the person presenting the tour - their knowledge and enthusiasm. I was both pleasantly surprised and very happy with the tour, the depth of knowledge and ability and willingness to present the information that was consistently displayed. I'd recommend this to anyone interested - and plan on taking another tour offered, such as the Civil War Era tour - when the time presents itself.

Great Revolutionary War Tour
Tue, Nov 25  1:00 PM csweiss Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The tour guide (tour owner) was incredibly knowlegible and enthusiastic about the subject matter. Most of the info was things I never heard of before -- and felt like I should have known. Physically, not that much remains of the era - but there is just enough to be able to visualize. We would highly recommend this tour -- it was just our family. It might be a little too much information for younger children, but teens and up would be okay. Again -- we were very impressed with the tour guide/owner and her interest in the subject shines through.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and saw much more of lower manhatten than I ever had before. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared the information in a very enthusiastic and amiable manner.

A super afternoon!
Fri, Nov 14  1:30 PM Denise6 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
On a quick family visit to NYC we had a free afternoon that could have been spent inside a museum but we tried a Patriot walking tour instead. Even with a bit of a drizzle we were so glad to be outside and learning about the history of the city in and around Battery Park and Wall St. Karen regaled us with stories of New Yorkers during the Civil War in great and entertaining detail. We now can go back and explore even more on our own. We're looking forward to booking another of Karen's original and insightful tours!

Interesting and informative

Karen knows her subject exceptionally well and provided many interesting details and facts about the personalities-lives of Revolutionary War figures. It felt like we were privy to the "inside scoop" of the news of the day.

Fascinating insight to the Revolutionary War Era
Sat, Nov 8  1:00 PM sridgemom Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Even though it was pouring down rain, we had a fascinating snapshot of the events that took place on the island of Manhattan before, during and after the Revolutionary War. The tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting, she was very engaging and her stories and descriptions of events allowed us to picture the events and geography in our minds. I would recommend this tour to anyone with even a little interest in the Revolutionary War Era and the events that occured in NYC.

Amazing

This tour is amazing. It was the second time time my friends and I had gone on the tour and we weren't disappointed. The tour guide, Karen, is great. She is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions in detail. She was very personable with everyone, and encouraged questions and discussions. Even though it was raining and windy (really one of the rainiest days I have ever seen) it didn't take away from the tour, the group trudged on as if it was a normal sunny day. I recommend this tour to anyone. It is well worth it.

Absolutely Fantastic!
Fri, Oct 24  10:00 AM janlingo Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This tour was one of the best that I have ever taken! The tour guide was so engaging in her description and very, very knowledgeable about the subject and she was easy to follow and understand. She was so enthused about her subject and it showed with every step that we took. I would heartily recommend this tour to anyone because it is simply that good! Our tour guide provided a first class service for the cost of the ticket and it was well worth what we received! I will book another tour from her the next time that we are in New York.

Interesting stories & wonderful historic sketches

Karen is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and personable. She had interesting stories that brought the Revolutionary war Era to life. She also had pertinent sketches of what the area looked like during that period, where we were standing. The walk was the perfect length as was the time.

Outstanding
Sat, Oct 11  1:00 PM gnaglak Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Karen's tour was absolutely fascinating. Not once was she dry and stodgy, with a recitation of dates and facts. Rather she focused on the personal stories and anecdotes. The tour was long -- more than two and a half hours -- and we weren't bored for one minute. Just be absolutely sure to wear comfortable shoes!

great afternoon activity!
Sat, Sep 27  1:00 PM AnneGold Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Our guide could not have been more informed on this topic. She was incredible! She carried copies of etchings that were very helpful in picturing what lower manhattan looking like over 200 years ago. She was very detailed in her information and really was able to give you a sense of the history and what it was like to live at that time. While it was a long walk, we went slowly from site to site. Maybe too detailed for some people, but we enjoyed every minute. We would love to do more of these tours in the future.
