| My husband and I are in our mid and late sixties. We don't do so well just ambling around. This tour gave us a focus to see the financial district as well as the battery and also to learn of New York City's role in the revolutionary war. If asked before this tour if George Washington and his forces were on Manhatten I would have probably said no. I learned a lot and enjoyed this tour. | ||||||

| We had such a great time on the Revolutionary walking tour. Having lived in NY all of my life it was fun to step back into time and learn the history of NY during the American Revolution. The tour leader was not only extremely informative she was a fantastic storyteller and captivated the group as she recounted historical events, anecdotes and helped to put you in the mindset of the folks living during revolutionary times. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

A Well-Conceived Tour

| The Revolutionary Tour walk was a pleasure. It hit the sights I expected to see in downtown Manhattan, while also mixing in a few pleasant surprises and out-of-the way places along the way. It was clear that the route and the locations we visited had been given a lot thought by the company, which was great to see. The tour guide was also very knowledgeable and provided a balanced mixture of factual events, description of people, appropriate context, and the occasion myth or lore to keep us honest. She was an excellent guide because she was clearly knowledgeable, but also passionate about her subject. She actively engaged with us individually and shared more tidbits as we walked between stops. The tour also was well-paced: we visited about 12-15 sites during just over 2.5 hours, which allowed for a steady pace, but without any feeling of being rushed. My slight criticism is that the tour was a bit weak on the military history of the period. For instance, no mention was made of the fact that the Stamp Tax and other events leading to the outbreak of war were directly related to the British Empire's large debt from fighting The Seven Year's War, much of which happend in North America. Also, the tour guide was inaccurate or vague on a few dates she mentioned regarding the battles fought in the New York City area. She also stated that the Battle of Monmouth in 1778 was the first time Washington was victorious in battle against the British. Technically, that fight was a draw. Most people attribute his earliest victories to Trenton (against the Hessians) and to Princeton (against the British), both in 1777. However, this should not overshadow the professionalism of the guide and the well-executed tour. For anyone serious about history and the American Revolution, I'd recommend this tour because it's more in-depth and comprehensive than Big Onion's competing tour, which I've also taken. Bravo to Patriot Tours - well done! | ||||||

| The tour was great from the beginning. The guide holds the tour size to 15 participants that makes it possible to interact and in fact actually hear the tour guide. The other tour (Big Onion I believe) that was leaving at the same time must have had over 40 people in it and was basically a mob. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable and easy to understand. The tour itself was well organized and very informative. We learned numerous facts that we did not know about the Revolutionary War especially about New York's involvement. The tour stayed on schedule and ended right on time. We would recommend Patriot Tours unconditionally to anyone. Jim and Sallie | ||||||

| Having been on several walking tours that covered the Revolutionary Era in Lower Mahhattan, my hat off is off to the Patriot Tours version of this tour. While all the other tours I've been on ranged from commendable to excellent, the Patriot Tours tour was the best in that it provided the most depth of this era in NYC history and the guide was the most knowledgeable about this time period. Not only did she provide specific details about each site we stopped at along the tour but she also offered extremely interesting additional details as well, which indicated that she was well versed and well read in NYC history during the Revolutionary War era. I would highly recommended this tour to anyone who wants to know all the key facts and anecdotes, well known and not so well known, about the Revolutionary Era in New York City. | ||||||

| I certainly enjoyed my Civil War Walking Tour. My guide was very informative and friendly. I liked that she had pictures and newspaper articles from the era we were discussing as they made everything much clearer in regards to the demographics of that time and the present. I would highly recommend this tour to other Civil War buffs, and I plan to take her Revolutionary War tour if I return in the future. | ||||||
