The Way History Should Be Learned
Sat, Jan 13, 07   1:00 PM mirokat Female 50-59 Local Family Without Children
From the minute the tour began I felt I was walking where history had been made. The guide was incredibly informative, the pace was appropriate and I am sure would be no trouble for anyone. I highly recommend Patriot Tours and their Revolutionary Walking Tour.

An engaging, exciting tour.

Karen Quinones offered an enthusiastic and engaging tour. At times I found myself wishing that she had started by setting out a few specific themes to integrate the immense amount of information she shared. That would have helped give more structure to the vast, detailed knowledge she conveyed. But that point aside, it was still an excellent tour--both informative and entertaining. She loves the subject, knows an immense amount, and is an outstanding speaker. Highly recommended!

Extremely informative, enjoyable, and interesting
Fri, Jun 20, 08   10:00 AM Mickey1 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
My group consisted of 4 adults, including a young college student minoring in history. We joined 5 other adults for our walking tour with Karen, our extremely pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide. Karen is obviously well educated in American history, yet she shared her knowledge in a very personable and easily understood style. She communicated clearly, and without the need of a script or notes. The walk itself was not strenous and we saw many interesting NY landmarks. All 4 of us commented afterwards that it was a highlight of our trip, and we would highly recommend it to others.

Super knowledgeable guide

Karen was a great guide. She has done lots of research about the Revolutionary War era in NYC and tells stories in an interesting and personalized way. Many times we felt as though we were hearing the actual words of the men she was speaking about. I would recommend her highly and go on the architectural tour she said she was planning to start giving soon.

Interesting, fun and informative

The Revolutionary Era tour was of personal interest because of my own long-ago family ties to the city of that era, but, even beyond that, the narrative was informative, told with humor and illustrated with documents and newspapers from the Revolutionary era. The stroll through lower Manhattan took in places familiar to many - Trinity and St. Paul's Churches, the Stock Exchange - and places I'd likely not learn about on my own - the old Bowling Green, sites of early businesses and homesteads, and the narrow streets (reminiscent of old London) and original shorelines of the lower isalnd. It's good to know and remember the part that the community and landscape of New York City played in the confusing and pivotal times surrounding the Revolution.

Highlight of our trip
Mon, May 25  10:00 AM MDHeck Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We did the things tourists usually do in NY - Broadway show, museums, restaurants - but our Revolutionary Era Walking Tour was easily the highlight of the trip. Beautiful weather and a small turnout on Memorial Day - our group of 3 was it - contributed to the experience, but it was mostly due our guide, Karen. She was friendly, entertaining, enthusiastic, and possessed a deep knowledge of the subject matter.

This was our first trip to NYC and I am a big history fan so I planned this tour for our second day. I had read the other reviews when booking so was really looking forward to this. Karen was amazing!! Her knowledge and use of illustrations during the tour really brought history alive. This was one of the big highlights of our trip. I highly recommend the tour and Karen is a fantastic guide. The pace was just right.

A Great Tour
Sat, Mar 29, 08   1:00 PM Maynerd412 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I have studied the American Revolution extensively and was absolutely delighted with the tour and my tour guide Karen. I was very impressed not only with her knowledge, but her ability to bring 18th century New York to life out of the concrete jungle which is modern day lower Manhattan. While the tour itself was excellent and thoroughly enjoyable, I was most impressed by Karen's offer to discuss the time period in depth after the tour was over. Due to my almost fanatical interest in the American Founding I had many questions which would have seemed uninteresting to the average tour-goer, but her willingness to discuss the time period on a deeper level with me was the highlight of my trip to New York.

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.

This was without doubt one of the best walking tours I have ever taken. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and clearly loves her subject matter. She answered all questions with ease and was a pleasure to spend a few hours with. We learned quite a bit and will highly recommend this tour to all our friends travelling to New York. If you enjoy history even a little bit, do not miss this tour!!
