My wife and I took this tour on May 13th. Our guide was very personable and approachable. She made us the center of her attention and was open to any questions, even if they didn't pertain to the current topic. Very warm personality and told about places and events with energy to keep it interesting. You can tell she enjoys what she does and we look forward to taking another historic walking tour on our next visit to NYC in 2010.

rain or shine means rain or shine... or hail. it was cold an hailing, but the tour went ahead anyway. Would have been more fun in nice weather.
Wealth of Information and Knowledgable Leader Civil War Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
Fri, Mar 23, 07 1:15 PM	katsas	Female	20-29	Domestic Tourist(s)	Individual
Our tour leader knew so much about the New York area and it's various political, historical, cultural and social differences. The Civil War tour was great for history buffs, but also a great resource for teachers. If you can take this tour and present it to your class or better yet take them on the tour, it is really worthwhile. You will see many little streets that you would never walk through when visiting New York City. I have been to the city several times and had never seen some of the places we visited. Our tour leader is obviously well-read and has many interesting visuals to add substance to the times she is telling you about. I enjoyed this very much!
Excellent Tour for both young and old!!! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

We had a large group of diverse ages and backgrounds. The tour guide was excellent; she engaged all members of the group, making the tour entertaining, interesting and informative. She was gracious and helpful. It was the best walking tour that I have been on and I have recommended it to friends.

Entertaining and Informative! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

Our guide, Karen, was very knowledgable about the Revolution in NYC. She was also concerned that we all enjoy ourselves. I observed that she found a way to talk with each of us indivdually as we made our way through the tour. The members of our group appreciated her interest in each of us and her concern that we have a good tour. This tour is a great way to spend part of an afternoon seeing lower Manhattan and learning about the early stages of our struggles to become a nation apart from England.

Great tour from a Revolutionary War viewpoint! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
Fri, Jun 30, 06 10:00 AM	julianord	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
We had a great time on this tour. We learned things about New York /Manhattan that we'd never heard before and it gave us a really interesting perspective on this great city and its rich history. We only had a day to spend in New York so it was probably too much to try to do this tour and other things on the same day. Our kids (ages 11 and 12) were exhausted after two-and-a-half hours of pretty solid walking so we needed recovery time which we hadn't planned on. It would have been nice to leave some of the tidbits out so there would be more time to explore some of the neat sites like Trinity Church and St. Paul's Chapel, as well as Fraunces Tavern. The pictures that the guide brought along were very informative, and her stories and quotes from famous New Yorkers from that time were valuable in illustrating that age. Great tour!!

Our tour guide was friendly and warm, and exhibited deep knowledge of the time period. Her enthusiasm was contageous, and it was fun to learn obscure facts about the area and the revolution. It was definitely one of the best tours I've ever taken.
Made history come alive! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
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.
Great Tour! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

My 8 year old son is a history fanatic, particularly military history of the US. We've been on historical tours in DC as well as Boston but never in NY. I'm from NY and love this old section of town though I'd never realized the extent of history that was here. My son loved it too and was fully engaged for the entire tour. Karen did a great job of bringing the history to life and making it an enriching and memorable experience. We plan to to the Civil War walking tour on our next trip to NY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY US!!!!
I am recommending this tour to my best friends! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

Our guide brought brightness to a grey, rainy NY day. No recitations from a standard tour book here; she had researched and constructed the history stories in an informative and interesting way, suitable for all age groups and backgrounds. My family group came from CA, SC and CT, and as we returned to my home via the Metro-North train, we told all the "peak time" commuters arround us about the fascinating day we spent in our Lower Manhattan neighborhood. I will take the Civil War tour at my earliest opportunity!
Excellent Presentation! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
Sat, Aug 11, 07 1:00 PM	jsimpson11	Male	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
My family really enjoyed the Revolutionary War presentation. The historian was outstanding. In our opinion, the walking tour could be improved in the following ways: (1) Keep the discussion to 2 hours, more is not always better, (2) Help the audience understand the time line of events, jumping from event to event in a non- linear fashion was sometimes difficult to follow, (3) Teach both the macro and micro, the narrative is well told by laying out the big picture of the conflict and then personalizing it with entertaining stories about the individuals involved in the places that these event occurred.. These are mild criticisms as the walk was a lot of fun and the presenter really knows and loves her subject. Thank you!!
Absolutely Recomend!!! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

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.
Fantastic - Informative - Well Organized - Super Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
Wed, Jul 4, 07 1:15 PM	jshipley1184	Unspecified	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Couple on a Date
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
