| This walking tour of lower Manhattan is rich with stories and details about the area's Revolutionary history. The guide brings to life many of the people and events that were so central to the birth of our country. The walk is well-researched and presented by a guide who clearly loves what she does. | ||||||

| I am a big fan of American history, particularly around the revoluntionary period. I learned so many new facts on this trip and saw many interesting things. The tour guide was insightful, passionate and welcomed our questions. She did a great job plotting out the stops on our tour and the visuals she showed the group also added to the tour. Anyone interested in New York's history and/or the history of the founding of our country - this is a must do. | ||||||

| I had a wonderful time on the tour. I have lived in NYC on and off for the last 8 years and I never knew the history of the city. The tour was a great glimpse into NYC as it used to be. I HIGHLY recommend! | ||||||

| The tour and information were great, and the guide was very knowledgeable, but it was 'all business' without thought to human needs--the walking tour lasted 3, not 2 hours, with no mention of where there were opportunities for restroom breaks. It would be very easy to add to the intro, there will be X opportunities for restroom breaks, once at the first church, second...and then tell folks where the facilities, bus, etc. are in relation to the spot where we ended. It would also be nice to have a map for each participant with the walking route & key sites noted. | ||||||

Civil War Era Comes Alive

| We so much enjoyed the Revolutionary War Walking Tour from Patriot Tours that we eagerly signed up for this one. We were delighted to see that Karen would be our guide for this tour as well. We knew nothing about Civil War era history in New York, and were fascinated by the details and stories that made this time period come alive for us. My grandfather was born to Irish immigrants in lower Manhattan around 1860, and Karen was able to paint a vivid picture of the hardships and struggles that residents of this area faced at that time. In addition, we learned about some fascinating characters and political scandals - and marveled at the magnificent architectural details that Karen pointed out to us on at least a dozen buildings. We highly recommend this tour and will gladly take it again ourselves on our next visit! | ||||||

| My husband and I took the tour on Wednesday 8/20/08. We had a wonderful time! Our guide Karen was just bursting with knowledge and information to share with her guests. Our group size was just right so we could gather around and hear what was being said clearly. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone! | ||||||

Revolutionary Reflections

| My work involves research, reading and writing on George Washington and his family; some of my interest in this tour stemmed from my work. As a former New York resident, I also wanted to find out more about the history of Lower Manhattan, particularly during the Revolutionary War period. Our guide, Karen, could not have been better! Her enthusiasm for and knowledge of her subject were outstanding. Every minute of the tour was crammed with fascinating tidbits and facts about personalities, buildings, and events associated with each of the areas that we visited. It is unlikely that you would ever find the detail and depth of information that Karen provided, in any other reference written or verbal. We enjoyed the Revolutionary War tour so much that we decided to take the Civil War tour as well. My husband and I highly recommend this tour to others, and we will definitely take it again ourselves on our next visit to New York! | ||||||

| The guide brought us back into history. She painted a picture of the physical and political landscape that spanned a period of about 5 years. She drew in many revolutionary war references from today as in Duane and Reade. Overall, it was interesting and I was happy to have made the trip. I recommend it to everyone. | ||||||

| Mixed group of 10-from 20 something to 60 something and in between-from extremely kmowledgeable to not nearly as knowledgeable-a pleasure for all. Karen is a magnificent guide. She has in depth knowledge of well known and less known info-she has lots of anecdotes and clearly loves her subject and sharing info. She is extremely responsive to particular interests and queries of group members. Lots of areas of NY covered. Well planned and well executed. If you go, you will not be disappointed. | ||||||

| We were very happy with the tour. Our guide provided much historical information and was truly excited about the topic which got us even more interested. Learned a lot about lower Manhattan and politics related to the Civil War that we never knew before. | ||||||

| I am an 8th grade history teacher in Florida and I went on the tour with my husband, and brother and sister-in law. We all had such a wonderful time. Our tour guide knew more information than I could have ever imagined. I brought so much knowledge with me back home that I can use in my classroom. Besides this being great for teachers, it was very interesting to see history that you would never knew existed in NYC. (The other 3 people I were with were not in education and they loved it!!!) The Before and Now pictures and descriptions were amazing and enlightening. It was fun to learn about things that the everyday person passing by would never know. Our guide did such a good job and she was very personable and enjoyable to be with. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in history and discovery. | ||||||
