Another excellent 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.

Affected by weather
Thu, Nov 23, 06   1:00 PM kmcgeeNY Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.

Fascinating

Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusastic about New York, the revolutionary period and the going ons of the period. She had pictures which helped to paint a picture of life back then and the physical layout of the city. The stories were great and they cemented an insight into a very important period in American and New York City history. We highly recommend it

FANTASTIC way to learn about history of NY
Wed, Oct 18, 06   10:00 AM LyndaMetz Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
WOW! Karen was truly amazing. My parents and I had looked so forward to learning about lower manhattan and Karen exceeded our high expectations. She knows her history, but also how to tell a wonderful story. The tour was relaxed yet we covered so much area, both in history and walking. I have already told friends about this tour. I think it should be a required event for anyone visiting the area.

Amazing Tour!
Thu, Oct 5, 06   1:00 PM mckinney06 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was our first trip to NYC and I am a big history fan so I planned this tour for our second day. I had read the other reviews when booking so was really looking forward to this. Karen was amazing!! Her knowledge and use of illustrations during the tour really brought history alive. This was one of the big highlights of our trip. I highly recommend the tour and Karen is a fantastic guide. The pace was just right.

How can anyone know so much?
Thu, Aug 17, 06   1:00 PM pktalbott Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family and I had an afternoon tour of lower Manhattan that was a semester's worth of learning packed into 3 hours. Amazing, do not miss. How could you waste your time on a crowded noisy tour bus listening to a routine monologue when you could do this? Just be prepared to walk, you'll be happy you did!

Nice Tour, Less Talking, More Buildings
Sat, Jul 22, 06   1:00 PM Lhilsenrath Female 40-49 Local Family Without Children
Our tour guide was good, very detailed and knowledgable. I learned many new facts about NYC. I was born and raised in NYC and worked downthown for years but never stopped to really look at what was around me. The buildings we saw were amazing, some I didn't even know existed. I am now going to take a more detailed tour of several of the churches we saw on the tour. The only negative was I felt the tour was a little too detailed at times. Otherwise it was informative and fun and I have already recommended it to others.

Extremely knowledgeable guide of New York
Tue, Jul 4, 06   1:15 PM jnickolas Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Karen was fabulous, it was like going on a tour with a history professor. She knew everything, not just about New York, but about the revolutionary war and how it related to early Manhattan. My husband and I are amateur revolutionary war buffs, but we learned so much on this tour. We highly highly recommend it to anyone who has any interest at all in history. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions with enthusiasm, was pleasant and friendly. It really was one of the highlights of our New York visit!

Great tour from a Revolutionary War viewpoint!
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!!

Great if a little long for kids
Tue, Jun 20, 06   1:00 PM jimewel Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Karen was a great tour guide, and knew much more than she could cover in a 3 hour tour. The only drawback was that the tour took nearly 3 hours, which was a little long for my kids.

INFORMATIVE
Mon, May 1, 06   10:00 AM wendyzick Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Good Tour! Tour leader was very well informed and presented the information well. She also knew a great deal about the architecture or the buildings in the area. We had a very small group so we were able to ask questions. She was able to give us a good picture of what lower Manhattan was like at the time of the Revolutionary War. The only drawback was ending the tour quite a distance from the starting point. I would recommend the tour to anyone interested in history and to seeing the island from a slightly different perspective. I was also quite surprised that the guide didn't ask for a tip at the end of the tour, very classy!. Well done.

The Patriot Tour is a must!
Tue, Apr 11, 06   1:00 PM rickhendrix Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had a great time on the Patriot Tour. Our guide was very knowledgable and personable. Our 16-year-old daughter said the tour was the next best activity we did other than going to a Broadway show.

Exellent information and guide
Sat, Apr 8, 06   1:00 PM Scottmelrose Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took the tour with another family and thoughly enjoyed experience. Our guide was very interesting and really knew her stuff. We had no idea how much of a role NYC played in the Revolutionary War. Our guide was very tough it was cold, windy with freezing rain but she keep going and made the best of the very bad weather. Overall very good.
