| 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! | ||||||

| We thougt that our tour guide was terrific: she knew both the general themes as well as the "hidden gems" that gave so much color to this exciting period in American History. Karen not only focused on New York but put it in context of the American Revolution. Karen's continuing research was evident in the maps, copies of Broadsides, etc made the tour even more interesting to my wife and I As someone who teaches US History at 2 local colleges, about 99% of what she talked about was new inofmration. Her passion for History and for New York during this time will be remebered always. | ||||||

| My 50th Birthday gift. Our guide was 100% brilliant in absolutely every aspect of the tour. Informative, funny and open to questions all the afternoon. I will recommend the Tour to my friends. Thank You very much, Neville Judd | ||||||

| Considering we started out in a (surprise) torrential downpour, it was terrific. It would have been better of course if the weather cooperated because there were early parts of the talk that were inaudible due to the severity of the rain and the fact that it echoed off of umbrellas and hoods, etc. and caused much fidgeting. To say that it was distracting is an understatement. but thankfully, it did stop within an hour. We also had periodic difficulty in hearing our guide because of the ubiquitous construction going on all around, especially down the narrow streets, such as Pearl and Maiden Lane. Maybe you should give her a microphone. (only kidding?) Other than that, I personally loved the synopsis of Manhattan's Revolutionary War era, seeing the corresponding locations in the flesh and especially hearing the spicier anecdotes of the characters involved. Fascinating stuff. And our guide was terrific; you could tell she knew a lot more than she was able to get out in the limited time we had, but she answered any and all questions with great proficiency and enthusiastiasm. The tour also provided a superb jumping off point for more in-depth explorations. Thanks again for a wonderful opportunity to fill in the details of our miraculous past. Well worth the time spent. | ||||||

| My husband and I were the only people who showed up for the walk. It was in the middle of the week in the off-season, but our tour went on as scheduled and we were treated to a "private" tour. I have been recommending the tour to everyone who is interested because it was enjoyable and informative. Most people here on the West Coast do not know about New York's Revolutionary Era history. And, the tour was a great way to orientate yourself to New York City. Highly recommended! | ||||||

| Karen did such a great job passing on her vast knowledge of revolutionary war New York history in an interesting and light hearted way that the time just flew by. I love history and this was a great treat for me and my friends. I highly recommend this tour to anyone of any age. | ||||||

American Revolution in New York tour excellent

| I and my wife and daughter visited New York City for a week in mid August. I was mildly interested in the American Revolution in New York tour, my wife more so. All of us were surprised by how much we enjoyed this activity. Our teacher was knowlegable, able to tell an interested story over a period of 2 hours, and skilled in knowing what facts in the story were salient, which were not. She was also extremely enthusiastic, clearly enjoying her task. The experience as a whole felt more like a string of interesting discoveries, less like a straightforward lecture. Her narrative was well conceived to match the order of buildings and streets we visited, but also shaped nicely into a broader beginning-middle-end narrative. THe experience overall has encouraged me and my wife to begin reading more about this subject. Truly, this was one of the most enjoyable parts of our New York trip, and we strongly recommend it to other visitors. | ||||||

| As a local resident, a short distance across the river, it was interesting to learn so much history about the Lower East Side. I cannot count the number of times I visited the area and new nothing about the history of the area! Also, on the tour, we were taken to little areas of the Lower East Side that I was not aware of. The tour it full of interesting information. The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. I would recommended this tour for history buffs and local residents that are interested in learning about their neighborhood! | ||||||

| My co-workers and I enjoyed this very informative and fun tour of lower Manhattan and the Civil Era. Our guide was very well informed and very energetic. She provided so much fascinating info many "history" buffs may not have known about that time period. Highly recommend it and we look forward to joining another tour by this company. | ||||||

| I was recommended to go on this tour by a friend in Oregon. He was so enthusiastic about the tour, that I brought my daughter and her friend with me. We learned so much history (that I wished I paid more attention to my history classes in school!) Karen (our guide) was charming, informative, and attentive to detail that it made it the most entertaining tour. She answered all of our questions and had pictures to back up the history as we went along on the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York. Next time I'm going to go on the Civil War tour. | ||||||

| Coming from San Francisco, we just don't have the same kind of "old" as New York City, so we especially enjoyed finding out about the early days of Manhatten and our nation. The walk was thorough but not too strenuous. I liked being on the streets rather than just seeing things from a bus window. Our guide provided great insights and obviously knows her stuff. One thing that I would have appreciated was some pointing out of other sites that we passed along the way (the NY Stock Exchange, that bull sculpture, Ground Zero). Of course, I am sure it is hard to stick to the point of the Rev War with centuries of history in every block! All-in-all, the tour was good and I recommend it. Because of the tour, our 12 year old has a much better sense of how people were living in those days -- and what it meant to be an occupied land -- than he could ever get from a book. | ||||||
