Fascinating - makes lower Manhattan come alive
Mon, Jun 12, 06   1:15 PM penn251 Male 50-59 Unspecified Unspecified
Although we grew up in the New York City area and have been to Manhattan many, many times, this tour really provided a new prespective. Karen's enthusiastic story telling and obvious love of history allowed us to see and feel lower Manhattan as it was in the mid 1800's. The architecture of the period remains in pieces for the trained eye to see...and Karen is good at pointing out what remains and filling in the gaps of what has not survived. Karen's descriptions and stories of the notable people of the time transport you back to that time. This was a most enjoyable 2 1/2 hours.

This tour made the revolutionary era come alive!

My family and I have taken many historical tours in different parts of the USA and this by far was one of the best. The reason was that the tour guide, Karen, was not only very knowledgeable but also passionate about history. The tour was listed as taking 2 1/2 hours and actually lasted 3 hours. The 3 hours flew by and we would have enjoyed listening to Karen for another 3 hours. Our 14 year old son said he also enjoyed the tour and learned great a deal. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in American History.

Great Stories, Well Told
Tue, May 23, 06   1:00 PM kkroeber Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This tour was excellent. We have done a fair amount of reading on the revolutionary era, mostly the current biographies - Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Hamilton, but we are by no means scholars. The engaging stories our guide told added greatly to what we already knew. Our guide was able to make the places and events come alive, which is no mean feat in the context of walking through modern day Lower Manhattan in the middle of a work day. She was able to bridge the gap between then and now, giving us a sense of what it was like then and connecting the characters and events to the current scene. But beyond the content, our guide was upbeat, friendly, flexible and a great story teller. While staying largely on her plan, she fielded all questions with good humor and nimbly refocused her presentation to fit the emerging interests of the group. All in all a great experience and over too soon.

Karen was great! She was so knowledgeable. She did a wonderful job of communicating a vast amount of information in such a fun and memorable way.We learned more on this tour than any we have ever taken. This tour was definitely more that we expected. We saw more sights, more architecture, and heard more about the history of New York than we had anticipated. We absolutely loved it and we have already recommended it to many people. Thanks so much!

Karen did such a nice job of telling, showing, and explaining the history of lower manhattan during the Revolutionary time period. We have been wanting to do a tour like this one for a long time and am so happy that we finally did it! I cant wait for next year! I think we will try the Civil War tour next!

Enjoyed the tour.

We were a small group of just four people. My Mom and I and a couple from Michigan. We were all history buffs and appreciated Karen's willingness to be flexible and work in some of the non-Civil War related history of lower Manhattan as it occured to her, and to us. I would recommend this tour to others.

Karen was great!!!

Great tour with an awesome guide. I took the tour with my 28 year old daughter. Karen, our tour guide, was full of information that was continually interesting and kept our rapt attention for the entire length of the tour! She gave us a tour of the city that we would have never experienced on our own! Definitely recommended - if we had the time we probably would have taken the Civil War Tour also!

We were completely impressed with this knowledgable tour guide. We learned many things and covered an extensive area. The stories came alive for us as she described the historic scenes at each stop along the tour. We would definitely do a Patriot Tour again on our next visit to New York.

History in the Big Appe

The tour guide, Karen, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Although most of the sites of historical value no longer exist, the tour does an excellent job of identifying the location of the site, and describing the site and the surrounding area.

Made history come alive!
Sat, Jul 18  1:00 PM julapp Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
While a bit of an info overload for my 10 year old, my 13 year old recognized much of her recent Social Studies curriculum and really got into it. It was great to get a deeper understanding of our hometown's history and make conections to the significance of things we see every day. Karen was superb! She was friendly, professional and informative.

This walk was full of great information about the Revolutionary War era in New York with lots of discussion about the interesting citizens during that time. We found it fascinating.
