The tour was great
Mon, Sep 1, 08   10:00 AM mjbaker5 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We come from Australia and don't know all the history that amercians have of their own country however our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative in explaining various details. I would recommend the tour to anyone. It was an easy pace so no problem for anyone to keep up. The guide knew her subject very well and even when we finished down at Battery Park, she stayed and spoke to a few remaining for another 15-20 minutes. I would do the tour agin in a few years time as it was a great way to really understand the histroy of the area and I am sure there will be more information next time.

I really enjoyed the recent tour I took of Revolutionary New York. The tour guide, Karen, was a bevy of knowledge and enthusiasm. Very well informed and proud to be an American and a New-Yorker. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Laura E. Toronto, Canada

A Civil War enthusiast from England
Fri, May 2, 08   1:30 PM dcwatson Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I have had a deep seated interest in the Civil War for some 45 years. My wife and I love New York. This was our third visit in the past 7 years. I was intrigued by the tour knowing that the Confederates did not get further north than Gettysburg. The tour provided a fascinating insight into the history and also to present day New York. Karen was an enthusiastic and knowlegable guide. I learnt a great deal and throughly enjoyed my trip. My wife was also throughly entertained and said that if Karen had been her history teacher, she would have taken a much greater interest! It was a compelling and informative two hours which was also totally entertaining

Karen the guide was most enthusiastic about her subject and explained it in a clear and understandable way. We would recommend her and the tour to anyone and this is from 2 English tourists.

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

Go on this walking tour.
Mon, Oct 15, 07   10:00 AM gpybus Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My wife and I took this tour on the first day of our stay in NY. We loved it. It gave us a good sense of where the spirit of New York (and New Yorkers) came from, something we thought about for the rest of our trip. Even if you don't like history, go on this tour. It is not dry. The guide is EXCELLENT--enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and sensitive. Again, strongly recommended. You will learn why and how New York became New York!

Interesting historical accounts in real settings
Fri, Oct 5, 07   10:00 AM Garycardin Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Enthusiastic guide, small group, good pace with lots of fascinating insights and information. Our group of 3 US citizens and 4 UK tourists made the subject matter of the tour even more interesting. Plenty of time for questions and a very personalised experience throughout. Would certainly recommend Partriot Tours to domestic and international visitors alike.

Fascinating tour with excellent guide
Mon, Aug 27, 07   10:00 AM MartinB Male 60-69 International Tourist(s) Unspecified
Opened up an amazing insight into a pivotal time in US history. Guide (think it was Karen) was a total enthusiast and amazingly well informed. Her understanding of the significance of the background as well as the events themselves added enormously to the quality of the occassion.

A nice walking tour with a very nice and friendly guide! Done in small groups which makes a big difference. You get a lot of information and get to see many places and things which are discussed. I definitely recommend this tour!

Enthusiastic, clear, informative and interesting.

We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It was excellent. Karen brims with enthusiasm and knowlege and is able to put it all over in a very clear and engaging manner. A lot of information is imparted about locations and context but it is never dry or dull - just completely fascinating. This is all supplemented by very good use of maps and illustrations. If you just want a wander around whilst having a few sights pointed out this is probably not the tour for you but if you really want to understand and feel the history of the sights and their context in the city and in this key event in American history then sign up now! We were only sorry that our schedule did not permit us to go on Karen's Civil War tour as well - next time definitely.

Fascinating Insight!
Tue, May 30, 06   1:00 PM gawwy99 Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Individual
I had a very informative and fun afternoon with Karen on her US Revolution Tour of New York last week (apologies for the delay....only just got back!) Karen was friendly and knew her history etc She also made it fun too with many interesting and quirky stories about the lives of characters involved at that time! I learned alot from her and was lucky too in that I was the only visitor on the tour that day so it was even more special and personalised! I would highly recommend this tour and if I had been in New York longer would have taken her Civil War Tour too! Until the next time! Gary Fordham

Incredibly Informative and Interesting!!!!!
Mon, Nov 16  10:00 AM JohnKuntz Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Karen does a fantastic job of creating the imagery and energy of the time period by not only knowing interesting facts and experiences but by being able to present them in a way that explains the social culture, economics, religious viewpoints, and politics that all drove the Revolution. Having a guide that is so passioinate about the time period and New York sets this tour experience at a completely different level in comparison to other walking tours I have taken in the past. She develops a true educational experience. I took the Civil War tour and highly recommend it also.
