Karen is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and personable. She had interesting stories that brought the Revolutionary war Era to life. She also had pertinent sketches of what the area looked like during that period, where we were standing. The walk was the perfect length as was the time.

Karen's tour was absolutely fascinating. Not once was she dry and stodgy, with a recitation of dates and facts. Rather she focused on the personal stories and anecdotes. The tour was long -- more than two and a half hours -- and we weren't bored for one minute. Just be absolutely sure to wear comfortable shoes!

Our guide could not have been more informed on this topic. She was incredible! She carried copies of etchings that were very helpful in picturing what lower manhattan looking like over 200 years ago. She was very detailed in her information and really was able to give you a sense of the history and what it was like to live at that time. While it was a long walk, we went slowly from site to site. Maybe too detailed for some people, but we enjoyed every minute. We would love to do more of these tours in the future.

Informative

Lovely tour guide but tour not really designed for international tourists who are not fully informed on the history of the American Revolution. The tour guide was very knowledgeable on the topic but we couldn't follow some of the details (and time lines) as we only knew a small amount on the topic and the tour guide assumed we knew a lot more. As we were the only two on the tour we thought it could be tailored to us as international tourists but unfortunately it wasn't.

A great tour for history buffs

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 definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC. I enjoyed 100% of the tour and learned so much! I've been on great walking tours in other cities like London, but this was by far the best of its kind. I look forward to your Civil War tour next time I'm in the City. Thanks again, Yoni N., Rehovot, Israel.

Very informative and enjoyable

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 was great
Mon, Sep 1, 08   10:00 AM mjbaker5 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We come from Australia and don't know all the history that amercians have of their own country however our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative in explaining various details. I would recommend the tour to anyone. It was an easy pace so no problem for anyone to keep up. The guide knew her subject very well and even when we finished down at Battery Park, she stayed and spoke to a few remaining for another 15-20 minutes. I would do the tour agin in a few years time as it was a great way to really understand the histroy of the area and I am sure there will be more information next time.

Interesting, little known history
Mon, Sep 1, 08   10:00 AM DeniseY Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.
