| My husband and I have been on dozens of walking tours in European and Asian cities. We both agreed this was one of the best. Karen's enthusiasm and knowledge supported by visuals was superb. We thought a two and a half hour tour would be long but the time flew by. Understanding history in the context of the city was so insightful. This tour is a special treat not to be missed. | ||||||

| The Civil War Walking Tour was very enjoyable and informative. The guide was articulate and knowledgeable, and our group was small. It was a nice change of pace from the normal touristy things to do in New York like riding the double-decker tourist buses. I would rate the tour even higher for history buffs. | ||||||

| Unable to take tour due to last minute illness of tour guide. There is no contingency plan if the tour guide is ill. We were offered alternative tour times, but we were only in NYC for the day and had planned whole day around tour. | ||||||

| This tour was the best part of our trip to NYC. Karen Quinones was so informative and knowledgeable about the years surrounding the revolutionary war. She had terrific stories about the people that lived during that time and not just facts. My mother and I took the walking tour in the end of March, 2007 and we both loved the tour with Karen. If you love American History you will love this tour. We could have walked and talked with you for hours!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, Karen and Iris from Delaware | ||||||

| Our guide provided a wonderful supplement to what histories we've read regarding a period in history that was revolutionary not only on our continent but in Europe as well. Walking the ground provided a feel for forces at work within a very small area that influenced the thought processes, strategies and tactics of both military and political leaders in the years that led up to the American Revolution. Seeing the terrain as it was in 1775 through the revolution, you gain an up close feel for the worries and frustrations that faced Washington, Howe, and Clinton when they considered their strategies. We came to appreciate the importance to both sides represented by New York and its harbor. Our guide wove into the story of New York the influences of the colonies to the northeast by personalities such as John Adams and Samuel Adams, and the colonies from the south through personalities such as George Washington as commander of the continentals. Our guide provided insight into some of the more interesting New York native personalities who posititioned themselves to be successful no matter what the outcome of the war. We developed a great deal of respect for these characers who worked for the welfare of their families no matter what ,and who played key roles in slowing the progress of the British and provided invaluable intelligence to the rebel cause. Our guide was knowledgeable on the terrain and how it affected both the British and American forces; the landmarks in lower Manhattan that date to the Revolutionary era and the roles they played as a backdrop to the revolution; and the personalities at work during the period -- famous personalities, infamous personalities, personalities of local fame, and personalities little mentioned in highschool and college history books. We're looking forward to the Civil War tour in a future trip to New York | ||||||

| My wife and I took this tour on a somewhat cold and blustery day, but the time just flew by for us. My wife had just read 1776 by David McCullough so she was very interested in this tour and she was not at all disappointed. The tour was small and they do prefer to keep them small. The sites we saw were very well planned out and the story was well thought through and extremely informative. We did not spend much time in the sites which is fine because it's much more important to hear more interesting details from the guide. We went back to several sites the next day. Certainly, the best part was the knowledge and enthusiasm of the tour guide. I would recommend this tour to any with an interest in our country's history. | ||||||

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Revolutionary War tour of lower Manhattan. Karen, the guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She fielded all questions and embellished the answers with more information. I would recommend this tour to all age levels since American History is a forgotten course in school and we can all learn from Washington's unassuming leadership style. | ||||||

| We were looking for a walking tour that covered a rarely detailed part of Manhattan, the Civil War period. We were particularly interested in the rise and fall of the Five Points area. Our guide, Karen, was on time and armed with articles and pictures describing the time period. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. All important points were covered and highlighted with facts, figures and delicious gossip. From world renowned monuments to obscure spots, Karen covered them all with the passion of a person who loves the history of this amazing metropolis. This was truly a great way to spend a couple of hours learning and being amazed. I can't wait to go back for the Revolutionary War tour. Without a doubt one of the best entertainment investments you can make in the entertainment capital of the world. | ||||||

Great wonderful sightseeing afternoon in New York

| My husband and I thoroughly recommend this tour and have told all our friends about it. This afternoon provided a wonderful visual for all of the books we've read about the revolutionary war (Jeff Shara) and movies (Gangs of New York). Our guide was well-informed, prepared, and enthusiastic. She was so helpful by providing laminated articles and pictures of the original "New Amsterdam" sights as compared with the current sights. The old Wall Street was amazing. St Paul's Chapel and Trinity Church - breathtaking historical landmarks. Although it was cold and windy, we didn't mind because we were "in the moment" and were prepared with hats, gloves, and warm shoes. Most importantly though, the guide kept us moving and through her stories of the activities by the Sons of Liberty and the militias. These gutsy New Yorkers and their independent spirit and heroics that helped this country win the war against England helped us tourists understand how the same gutsy New York spirit overcame 9/11. Our guide even allowed a quick stop at a Starbucks for some warm beverage and a rest room stop. A great afternoon and we will definitely take another tour. | ||||||
