excellent historical tour of lower Manhattan

| This is an excellent tour of lower Manhattan. The tour guide was also the owner and she was extremely knowledgable of the area in general, and the history in particular. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the historical aspects of New York City or even someone who justs wants to see some of the historical sights of the city. | ||||||

Fascinating and detailed -- not to be missed!

| I have a confession to make -- I'm a walking tour addict. I've been on at least two-dozen different walking tours in London, a half dozen in New Orleans, and another half dozen in NYC. So I've been exposed to dozens of different tour guides, each with their own style and breadth of knowledge. The Civil War walking tour of NYC is far and away one of the best I've ever been on. I've been on the World Trade Center walking tour, and it's a joke compared to this one. If you're an American history buff, you'll eat this stuff up. Karen has gone to great lengths to not only research the era she talks about, but also to obtain copies of documents, paintings, newspapers, drawings, and cartoons of the period. For 2 solid hours she passes along more historical information than you can believe. If only history class had been this interesting when I was in high school I might have paid more attention! As Karen leads you through lower Manhattan, you'll gain a new perspective on the Wall Street and City Hall areas. I could almost see the way things looked 150 years ago, thanks to the visual aids Karen brings along. Nearly every step of the way she points out a fascinating artifact, architectural detail, or geographical oddity. I learned more about Manhattan in those 2 hours than anyone born and bred in Manhattan even knows! I should also add that I had the luxury of a private tour, given that I made my reservation during the slowest time of the year and somewhat inclement weather. Karen graciously gave me the full tour with just as much enthusiasm as if the tour had been fully booked. I was also fortunate enough to spend some time after the tour discussing other aspects of politics and history with her, and I can say that she really does know her stuff. She was familiar with many obscure details of American history that few people I know are aware of. She is clearly passionate about what she does and really puts her heart and soul into it to give you the very best tour possible. If you are at all interested in the history of NYC or its role in the Civil War, this tour is an absolute must. You will not be disappointed, trust me! | ||||||

Enjoyable, a little tweaking maybe

| Our Civil War guide would probably enjoy some of the walking tours offered in Charleston, SC. Civil War was not all about slavery. States and individual rights very much a part of the conflict, as was (is) the propensity of Northern Protestant clergy to know best for all. On the whole, we enjoyed our tour.

| Karen captivated us with the Revolutionary War tour last year, so we were eager to return for the Civil War version. We were not disappointed! Her passion for history is evident in her preparation and in her enthusiasm. | ||||||

| The tour was interesting -- but not compelling enough to warrant 2 1/2 hours in a steady cold downpour. At several stops, there was an awning or building overhang just a few steps away but the guide was not flexible enough to allow us to stand anyplace other than the exact appointed spot. Between spots, she allowed her conversation to be monopolized by one young man, leaving the rest of us out of the discussion. | ||||||

| We truly enjoyed the tour. The great detailed history was more than we expected. We truly felt like we got more than we bargain for. We have recommended the tour to several people since then. It is a great tour idea. I hope it grows to more areas. | ||||||

| Never thought I would enjoy something like this. The tour was very informative and well presented. So many things you take for granted until they are pointed out to you. Loved the tour | ||||||

| This was an excellent and enjoyable walking tour. All four in our party enjoyed the experience. The key to the quality of the tour was our tour guide, Karen, who has a great depth of knowledge, and a pleasing way of conveying the information. Karen is excellent. If you have any interest in the Revolutionary War i would highly recommend this tour given by Karen Ken Lewis | ||||||

Excellent Presentation of Revolutionary War Manhat

| The owner/tour guide for Patrior Tours did an excellent job of presenting Revolutionary War Manhattan. She was not only knowledgeable about the subject but was enthusiastic in her presentation. She gave prewar background to help you put yourself into the time period and was able to answer any and all questions put to her. I'm a tour guide myself in our state capitol and as such am probably more demanding than most. I can assure you the tour was thouroughly enjoyable and on a couple of occasions have found myself running some of her comments through my head post tour. A comforting thought is that she is not only the tour owner but also the only tour guide so you will be guaranteed the same quality tour I received. | ||||||

| We recently had the pleasure of taking part in the Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan! What a wonderful experience! I have already told a number of friends about this delightful adventure! Our guide for the tour was fabulous and very, very informative! I am going to recommend this walk to all friends planning to visit NYC. It was one of the highlights of our time in the Big Apple. Lawana Conry Plano, Texas | ||||||
