Revolutionary Era Walking Tour worth every step!
Sat, Apr 26, 08   1:00 PM LSworsky Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
If you love history or just want to learn more about lower Manhattan in the 1700s, take this tour! Karen, our tour guide, was a walking encyclopedia of facts, names, dates, and events, all woven into very interesting stories. To see the old buildings still standing was incredible. Take this tour! You walk slowly and stop often. I can't wait to take another one!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The guide, Karen, was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. She kept my interest as well as that of my children, ages 10 and 12, throughout the 2 1/2 plus hours tour. Not only did we learn a lot, but we saw things we had never seen or noticed before. All of Manhattan, past and present, is more meaningful to us now. Many thanks for an interesting, educational and fun day.

If you love American history , you'll love this ..

This isn't so much a walking tour as it is a stand-at-the-place-the-event happened tour. So don't be afraid of the walking! Karen (tour guide) is a plethora of Revolutionary War facts. She makes it fun, interesting, and exciting. We were amazed at her knowledge. If you are a fan of George Washington, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, etc., etc., you will love this tour. Learn what a large part New York played in the war, and imagine what Manhattan looked like 225 years ago. She loved questions and engaging in and exchanging Revolutionary War stories and facts with the tourists.

I can't say enough about this tour or our guide. I've been raving about it all week to friends and coworkers. Our tour guide, Karen, was so thoroughly knowledgeable that it was a pleasure to journey through Revolutionary NY with her. She had an answer for everyone of our questions and she guided us through such a delightful day. We will definitely take other tours with this company.

Our guide was very personable and did a great job of sharing her knowledge of the events of the Revolutionary War associated with New York. She made the people involved come to life.

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.

My tour of New York's Revolutionary War sites was completely enjoyable. Karen, the tour leader, was both knowledgeable and entertaining. She made the past filter through the modern hubhub that is a Saturday in Manhattan. I have toured Civil War and Revolutionary battlefields with some of the best guides in the nation, and I would rate this tour up with any of those. You will completely enjoy the experience.

Absolutely fabulous, informative tour!
Fri, Mar 28, 08   10:00 AM BHomewood Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
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!!

THIS IS A TOUR I WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN LEARNING ABOUT THE PLAYERS AND PLACES IN 18TH CENTURY MANHATTAN. YOUR GUIDE MAKES HISTORY COME ALIVE IN AN ENGAGING WAY. THE THREE AND A HALF HOUR WALKING TOUR IS PACKED WITH INFORMATION. WEAR A REALLY COMFORTABLE PAIR OF SHOES AND BRING A CAMERA. ENJOY THE TOUR.

Kept a non-revolutionary nerd entertained!!

i only went on this tour because my mom (on a revolutionary kick) wanted to, but i ended up learning sooo much! our guide, karen, was such an expert! she talked and kept us interested for 2 and a half hours! i learned so much and so did my mom (who already read a bunch of books on the era). it was a short walk and we stopped several times so it's not hard at all. just don't go when it's too cold or bundle up. very highly recommended!!

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!

Great tour, very clever guide, good for a group!

My boyfriend and I went on this tour with my parents who are both very interested in American history and we had a wonderful time. I learned so much about NY, even after living here for 8 years, that I wouldn't have known otherwise. I liked it so much I want to sign us up for the Civil War tour the next time we're all in town! Our guide Karen was extraordinary, we all liked her very much and you could tell she is extremely passionate about her love for American history, but she doesn't make you feel at all uncomfortable for asking questions. In fact, she seems grateful to share her passion with others. What more could you ask for from a tour or your guide? I also thought the price was very fair for the amount of information you acquire and for the level of expertise that's shared. I hope others enjoy it as much as we did!

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.
