| The tour was fantastic! I knew very little about New York City's role in the civil war apart from a few highlights. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and the I learned a lot about how the city influenced the war. I know quite a bit about the overall war, but had no idea of all the ties to the war effort. The buildings and streets you walk down are amazing and the visuals along the way also help to bring the story alive. Even if you do not like history much, the tour is a wonderful way to see some of the side streets and lesser known places in lower Manhattan. I can't wait to take my husband with me sometime to see the same tour! | ||||||

| Our group really lucked out. There was a threat of ran, but thankfully the sun shown through the entire thing. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. She talked of many interesting facts that I had never known before. I dragged my best friend along with me, and despite the fact that she hates history, she loved the tour as well. I would recommend this to anyone! | ||||||

| Karen was very friendly and approachable and had a wealth of knowledge to share about Manhattan during Revolutionary times. She fielded questions easily, and could go above & beyond just her "set" talk. There wasn't as much walking as I had expected (which was good) because Karen would walk us a block or so, then we'd stand and listen. She really made it all come alive for us! A very good value for the money, too. | ||||||

| I was very encouraged when I read that there was so much history in New York, and realized that there was much I did not know. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and energetic, and organized her tour as more of a "storytelling" experieince. Which made it interesting, easy to follow and understand. Walking through the streets as she shared the sights and stories of that time in history helped you visualize what it was like back then and how important the events were to forming the country. I was fortunate in the fact that there were only 2 of us on the group that day, so it was very personalized. Our tour guide encouraged questions, and keep us going at a comfortable pace. The time just saled by. Also, our guide spent some time at the end of our tour giving us some tips and suggestions that we might enjoy while in the city, which was very kind. Overall, I would recommend this tour....history buff or not. It is interesting to see NY through the "Revolutionary Years", because it gives you a more vast perspective and view of the city which helps you appreciate it's contribution and how it helped shape our nation. | ||||||

| I may have known at one time but certainly forgot the important role of NYC in our history and the Revolutionary War. This tour jogs your memory with forgotten names, dates and events with the added benefit of being on the spot or near where it happened. Events come alive amid the hustle/bustle of NY. Karen is an excellent guide; able to answer all the questions and keep to the subject. One thing I realized from this and two other walking tours I took is the enormous pride New Yorkers have in their city and its history. | ||||||

| If you love history or just want to learn more about lower Manhattan in the 1700s, take this tour! Karen, our tour guide, was a walking encyclopedia of facts, names, dates, and events, all woven into very interesting stories. To see the old buildings still standing was incredible. Take this tour! You walk slowly and stop often. I can't wait to take another one! | ||||||

| We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The guide, Karen, was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. She kept my interest as well as that of my children, ages 10 and 12, throughout the 2 1/2 plus hours tour. Not only did we learn a lot, but we saw things we had never seen or noticed before. All of Manhattan, past and present, is more meaningful to us now. Many thanks for an interesting, educational and fun day. | ||||||

| This isn't so much a walking tour as it is a stand-at-the-place-the-event happened tour. So don't be afraid of the walking! Karen (tour guide) is a plethora of Revolutionary War facts. She makes it fun, interesting, and exciting. We were amazed at her knowledge. If you are a fan of George Washington, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, etc., etc., you will love this tour. Learn what a large part New York played in the war, and imagine what Manhattan looked like 225 years ago. She loved questions and engaging in and exchanging Revolutionary War stories and facts with the tourists. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| As educators and historians from Illinois in NYC for the OAH (Organization of American Historians) annual conference, we had booked the Revolutionary Era Walking Tour on a whim, thinking it would be interesting to experience historic lower Manhattan. Our guide was incredible! Full of wonderful anecdotes and fantastic with facts, characters and events, Karen led us on a three-hour journey back in time. Our only regret is that we didn't have time to take the Civil War tour she was offering the next day!! We will have to go back for that!! | ||||||

| THIS IS A TOUR I WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN LEARNING ABOUT THE PLAYERS AND PLACES IN 18TH CENTURY MANHATTAN. YOUR GUIDE MAKES HISTORY COME ALIVE IN AN ENGAGING WAY. THE THREE AND A HALF HOUR WALKING TOUR IS PACKED WITH INFORMATION. WEAR A REALLY COMFORTABLE PAIR OF SHOES AND BRING A CAMERA. ENJOY THE TOUR. | ||||||

| i only went on this tour because my mom (on a revolutionary kick) wanted to, but i ended up learning sooo much! our guide, karen, was such an expert! she talked and kept us interested for 2 and a half hours! i learned so much and so did my mom (who already read a bunch of books on the era). it was a short walk and we stopped several times so it's not hard at all. just don't go when it's too cold or bundle up. very highly recommended!! | ||||||

| The guide was very knowledgeable, with documents and pictures to back up her material. She obviously loved her subject and she made the time period come to life. She should write a book about New York during the Revolutionary period! | ||||||
