Karen did such a nice job of telling, showing, and explaining the history of lower manhattan during the Revolutionary time period. We have been wanting to do a tour like this one for a long time and am so happy that we finally did it! I cant wait for next year! I think we will try the Civil War tour next!

Educational, In-Depth, and Entertaining

Our tour guide was friendly and warm, and exhibited deep knowledge of the time period. Her enthusiasm was contageous, and it was fun to learn obscure facts about the area and the revolution. It was definitely one of the best tours I've ever taken.

A must for locals!

This tour really opened to my eyes to some surprising historical insights as to what happened right in my neighborhood back in the Revolutionary War times. Locals should really take the time to learn of out area's historical signifigance.

Enjoyed the tour.
Fri, Oct 23  1:00 PM anerska Male 40-49 Local Family Without Children
We were a small group of just four people. My Mom and I and a couple from Michigan. We were all history buffs and appreciated Karen's willingness to be flexible and work in some of the non-Civil War related history of lower Manhattan as it occured to her, and to us. I would recommend this tour to others.

Great & informative tour of revolutionary NYC
Sun, Oct 11  1:00 PM cecurran Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This is a great walking tour of downtown Manhattan, especially if you are a history buff. Our tour guide was Karen--she was friendly, informative, and enthusiastic about her subject matter. She is full of anecdotes, stories, and history that I guarantee you never learned in your history classes! All in all, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone hoping to walk the streets of colonial and revolutionary New York City--you're in for a treat!

Knowledgable, enthusiastic guide makes great tour
Wed, Oct 7  10:00 AM mwelker Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We ended up with only 4 people in our group, which made it easy to ask questions or follow up on things the guide had mentioned. She was very knowledgable about both the Revolutionary and the Civil Wars in New York. Besides learning about the Revolutionary War, it was a nice walk through lower Manhattan, and we got to walk down Wall Street, see the Stock Exchange, and see Ground Zero (from a short distance), in addition to the Revolutionary War sites. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in history.

A wealth of knowledge in a delightful presentation
Tue, Sep 29  1:00 PM jlundblade Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This walking tour of Revolutionary NYC was a delight! Our guide was well informed of both well-known and obscure people in the period from 1765 to 1797 on Manhattan island. Her enthusiastic presentation displayed her love of the subject matter. Whenever applicable, she was able to cite the primary documents. We learned of the early workings of the Sons of Liberty in the context of New York's constant factional in-fighting, shedding light on why the New York assembly was so hesitant to come out for independence. Another highlight was learning of the battle of Brooklyn and the occupation of New York by the British, including Washington's spy ring. In all, it was terrific to hear the personalities of an epic time in US history come to life, warts and all in the places that they walked. I enthusiastically recommend this tour.

Complete, Concise, and Creative
Fri, Sep 25  1:00 PM Norelli Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
How many times do you walk through a city and read the brass plaques, but still have relatively no concept of the activity or the person it is commemorating? This tour, factually and passionately portrays the events, the people, the geographics and the politics of the time. Our tour guide's thorough knowledge of the time period enabled us to see past the skyscrapers and imagine the city of the 1770s. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to know more about the Revolutionary period or just the history of NYC. My favorite part was at the end of the tour. She will show you something that remains from the day the Declaration of Independence was read to the citizens of New York in the year 1776. This was the best 1.5 hours that I have spent in a long time! Next time I'm in NYC, I will sign up for the Civil War tour!

Karen was great!!!
Thu, Sep 24  1:00 PM Marthachacon Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Great tour with an awesome guide. I took the tour with my 28 year old daughter. Karen, our tour guide, was full of information that was continually interesting and kept our rapt attention for the entire length of the tour! She gave us a tour of the city that we would have never experienced on our own! Definitely recommended - if we had the time we probably would have taken the Civil War Tour also!

Highly recommended - Would definitely do again!

We were completely impressed with this knowledgable tour guide. We learned many things and covered an extensive area. The stories came alive for us as she described the historic scenes at each stop along the tour. We would definitely do a Patriot Tour again on our next visit to New York.

My husband I wish we had taken this tour at the begiinning of our two year stay in NYC. Knowing the history really brought lower Manhattan alive. Our guide was very knowledgeable, talked swiftly, and made the tour delightful.

My wife and were on our NYC "stay-cation"... and we decided to do something totally new. We decided to try this Patriot Tours walk around lower Manhattan. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY GREAT! It was both fun and informative. We got to see lower Manhattan like we never had before, and we gained a very special appreciation of our city. SUPER-highly recommended!
