Absolutely fabulous, informative tour!

As educators and historians from Illinois in NYC for the OAH (Organization of American Historians) annual conference, we had booked the Revolutionary Era Walking Tour on a whim, thinking it would be interesting to experience historic lower Manhattan. Our guide was incredible! Full of wonderful anecdotes and fantastic with facts, characters and events, Karen led us on a three-hour journey back in time. Our only regret is that we didn't have time to take the Civil War tour she was offering the next day!! We will have to go back for that!!

The guide was very knowledgeable, with documents and pictures to back up her material. She obviously loved her subject and she made the time period come to life. She should write a book about New York during the Revolutionary period!

Entertaining and educational

The tour far exceeded my expectations. Karen, the guide, had a vast storehouse of knowledge about the topic, answered questions readily, and took the time to explain things. She cross-referenced several sites that we would see the following day on the Revolutionary War tour. Clearly, she continues to build upon her knowledge by researching historical documents and sites to learn as much as she can on the subject matter. The two hours passed quickly and as we left, we were anticipating what we might learn the next day's tour.

Despite the freezing weather, we could not pull ourselves away from the tour and walked for two and a half hours in the bitter wind. A real tribute to the guide

An enlightening tour for locals and visitors.

Karen displays a passion for the history of New York in the Revolutionary War period. She has researched this subject tirelessly since age 13 down to the detail of reading newspapers of that era. Consequently, she can relate stories of individuals and events in vivid detail and breathe exhilaration into the telling. Anyone interested in this period of time should attend. Anyone who lives in New York should attend regardless of a previous interest in the American Revolution.

Terrific experience

My wife and I decided to visit Manhattan and our twenty-something daughter who lives there for the day. On the spur of the moment we decided to take the walking tour which we found on line. We couldn't have been more impressed and pleased with the tour. Our guide, Karen, was incredibly well informed and informative about the revolutionary history of NYC. We all had a great time.

Karen provided us with an entertaining and informative day. It would be hard to top her enthusiasm and knowledge of Colonial New York.

We met our guide at City Hall Park entrance just as the directions described. She was excited and enthusiastic as we were. The walk as easy and the stories were great! You could tell that she knew her subject and we had done some research and we knew she knew her stuff. Our guide was very educational and funny, which made it very enjoyable, one of the best tours we've ever done. We are not in the greatest of shape, but this walk was not difficult by any means. I've already highly recommended it to some friends that well be in Manhatthan for the next week. Thank you!

Karen's tours are brilliant!
Wed, Oct 31, 07   1:15 PM JPSmith Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Last year I took Patriot Tours' Revolutionary War Tour and loved it. Last week I took the Civil War Era Tour and it was great too. Karen really knows her stuff. The tour was full of entertaining anecdotes and she painted a picture of 19th century New York that made Lower Manhattan come alive for me. As far as I am concerned, this is a must-do for both travellers and New Yorkers alike. I can't wait for Karen to come up with her next tour.

A great way to see lower Manhattan.

Our guide was an enthusiastic, revolutionary-period history buff. She is very knowledgeable of NYC during this time period. The tour is accurately described in the web-site listing and more than met my small group's expectations. Don't be put off by the length of this tour (2.5 hours)! The pace and terrain covered are not difficult. Don't hesitate, book today!

Very Informative and Educational

Due to inclement weather, we were the only ones on the tour. This proved to be quite a treat because our guide was extremely knowledgeable and willing to interact with all our questions and opinons. We really appreciated her extensive knowledge and genuine interest and excitement in her topic. We came away with a whole new impression of the history of colonial New York, life during the Revolutionary War, and the war events that took place in New York City.
