| Considering we started out in a (surprise) torrential downpour, it was terrific. It would have been better of course if the weather cooperated because there were early parts of the talk that were inaudible due to the severity of the rain and the fact that it echoed off of umbrellas and hoods, etc. and caused much fidgeting. To say that it was distracting is an understatement. but thankfully, it did stop within an hour. We also had periodic difficulty in hearing our guide because of the ubiquitous construction going on all around, especially down the narrow streets, such as Pearl and Maiden Lane. Maybe you should give her a microphone. (only kidding?) Other than that, I personally loved the synopsis of Manhattan's Revolutionary War era, seeing the corresponding locations in the flesh and especially hearing the spicier anecdotes of the characters involved. Fascinating stuff. And our guide was terrific; you could tell she knew a lot more than she was able to get out in the limited time we had, but she answered any and all questions with great proficiency and enthusiastiasm. The tour also provided a superb jumping off point for more in-depth explorations. Thanks again for a wonderful opportunity to fill in the details of our miraculous past. Well worth the time spent. | ||||||

| My husband and I were the only people who showed up for the walk. It was in the middle of the week in the off-season, but our tour went on as scheduled and we were treated to a "private" tour. I have been recommending the tour to everyone who is interested because it was enjoyable and informative. Most people here on the West Coast do not know about New York's Revolutionary Era history. And, the tour was a great way to orientate yourself to New York City. Highly recommended! | ||||||

| Our guide, Karen, was very knowledgeable and knew the history of New York (Revolutionary War Era) thoroughly. Presented a lot of information in an extremely interesting manner. Seeing the actual setting where some of the history she discussed took place made it all the better. In addition she also had early maps, etc., on hand to present as she talked. If we were in NYC longer, we'd take any tour that she is giving. | ||||||

| Our tour guide provided us with a thoughtful and complete review of New York's colonial history. She was enthusiastic and engaged us in the tour as well as pointed out modern day connections to history throughout the city. It was a wonderful way to spend a morning and learn more about our nations history. | ||||||

| I'm local and was looking for something to do with my family from out of town -- people who are never satisfied. We signed up for the Revolutionary Tour and it was the best thing we did in NYC, and among the best "tourist" activities I've done PERIOD. When people think NYC, they think Broadway shows, shopping, etc., but I don't think people consider how NYC impacted the founding of America -- just as much as Boston or Williamsburg. Our guide, Karen, was friendly and super knowledgeable. We could tell that she had a passion for NY and history, not that she just memorized a script. She could answer any question related to the buildings, the time period, really anything. Karen kept a great pace and the time flew by. She peppered the more basic info -- the history of the buildings and whatnot-- with a lot of trivia about the people and politics of Revolutionary-era New York. And she was a total delight. Having taken other tours like this one in many American tourist areas (Boston, Virginia, DC) and abroad (London, Paris), this absolutely ranked at the top of my experiences. It's well worth the time and money. I highly recommend this tour for natives and tourists alike. | ||||||

| As a local resident, a short distance across the river, it was interesting to learn so much history about the Lower East Side. I cannot count the number of times I visited the area and new nothing about the history of the area! Also, on the tour, we were taken to little areas of the Lower East Side that I was not aware of. The tour it full of interesting information. The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. I would recommended this tour for history buffs and local residents that are interested in learning about their neighborhood! | ||||||

| I wanted a different but interesting tour of Manhattan and this was it. The tour was very interesting and informative. The tour guide was enthusiastic and very friendly. I liked the idea a small group on a walking tour, everyone could hear the guide clearly. The tour guide had visual aids and provided very interesting facts and information about Manhattan in the Revolutionary times. The guide really made the historical facts interesting and we really learned alot in just a short amount of time -almost 3 hrs but it sure didn't feel like it . The walking wasn't hard, perfect pace and saw interesting sights I would have missed if on my own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Manhattan and learning about the history. I can't wait to take the civil war tour and I hope more tours are added. This was a perfect, informative walking tour. | ||||||

| My co-workers and I enjoyed this very informative and fun tour of lower Manhattan and the Civil Era. Our guide was very well informed and very energetic. She provided so much fascinating info many "history" buffs may not have known about that time period. Highly recommend it and we look forward to joining another tour by this company. | ||||||

| This was a fascinating glimpse at a volatile period in our history that incorporated facts (and intriguing trivia!) from local, national and international scope and presented them in a concise timeline. This enables the guest to get a real feel not only for the New York as it was in the late 1700's, but how the actions and decisions of that time created what we know today as NYC and the USA. It will effect how you look at the City for the rest of your trip...and every trip afterward! | ||||||

| I was recommended to go on this tour by a friend in Oregon. He was so enthusiastic about the tour, that I brought my daughter and her friend with me. We learned so much history (that I wished I paid more attention to my history classes in school!) Karen (our guide) was charming, informative, and attentive to detail that it made it the most entertaining tour. She answered all of our questions and had pictures to back up the history as we went along on the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York. Next time I'm going to go on the Civil War tour. | ||||||

| I was very pleased with the tour and especially our guide, she was very knowledgable and enthusiastic. She shared many wonderful stories that really captivated my interest. I would have liked to have been able to actually go into Frances Tavern and also spend some time in the museum where the first inauguration of our first president took place. Having lived in NYC for a long time I was still suprised by sights I had never seen. I would highly recommend this tour to chlidren also because no history book can explain this era like our guide did. | ||||||

| Coming from San Francisco, we just don't have the same kind of "old" as New York City, so we especially enjoyed finding out about the early days of Manhatten and our nation. The walk was thorough but not too strenuous. I liked being on the streets rather than just seeing things from a bus window. Our guide provided great insights and obviously knows her stuff. One thing that I would have appreciated was some pointing out of other sites that we passed along the way (the NY Stock Exchange, that bull sculpture, Ground Zero). Of course, I am sure it is hard to stick to the point of the Rev War with centuries of history in every block! All-in-all, the tour was good and I recommend it. Because of the tour, our 12 year old has a much better sense of how people were living in those days -- and what it meant to be an occupied land -- than he could ever get from a book. | ||||||
