Informative
Sat, Feb 21  1:00 PM kerrybanik Female 20-29 Local Family With Children
I thought the tour was really informative. I learned a lot about people important to the Revolution that I didn't know about before. I thought the guide was really knowledgeable and able to talk off prompt about questions regarding other events happening at the time. I thought the pictures were helpful in imagining the surroundings of 250 years ago. The only thing I thought was not good was the fact that we couldn't see more of the cemetery at St. Paul's. We really only saw one grave. Also the graveyard at Trinity Church is closed on Saturdays, so we couldn't walk around there either. Also, there wasn't much time or places to sit down when we were walking. My legs got tired just from standing for 2 hours.

Historically Enlightening as well as Captivating
Fri, Jan 30  10:00 AM Tommy_Heath Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
First, you must enjoy a little history to enjoy this event. I am not a historian nor am I a great student of history, but I did find this to be one of the most interesting strolls through the history of New York that I have every had. It was fascinating and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about that which she spoke. I found the entire tour exciting. Never once was I "bored" There were many colorful and descriptive stories about the founders, residents and other historical persons of New York. The tour gave us a good understanding about why and how New York became the city it is today. I would highly recommend the walking tour on just about any day of the Spring and Fall. We took the tour in January and it was a little cold. Even so, we were not too disturb by the weather. I could see the summertime being a little challenging for some, also. However, it is a great historical walking tour with many interesting stories that will delight and enlighten everyone.

Great Revolutionary War Tour
Tue, Nov 25, 08   1:00 PM csweiss Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The tour guide (tour owner) was incredibly knowlegible and enthusiastic about the subject matter. Most of the info was things I never heard of before -- and felt like I should have known. Physically, not that much remains of the era - but there is just enough to be able to visualize. We would highly recommend this tour -- it was just our family. It might be a little too much information for younger children, but teens and up would be okay. Again -- we were very impressed with the tour guide/owner and her interest in the subject shines through.

We were very happy with the tour. Our guide provided much historical information and was truly excited about the topic which got us even more interested. Learned a lot about lower Manhattan and politics related to the Civil War that we never knew before.

Wonderful experience for all ages
Fri, Jul 4, 08   10:00 AM vlacker Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We went on the revolutionary era walking tour on July 4th with a group ranging in age from 12 to 85. Everyone loved it! The walking was not too strenuous, with many opportunities to rest for a few minutes at the the tour stops. Our very friendly tour leader was a delightful fountain of knowledge. Her descriptions and the photographs she brought really made the history come alive. I would love to take the other tours on future trips to NY. I have nothing but high praise.

The Time Machine
Wed, Jun 25, 08   1:30 PM monicas1 Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
I took my 16 yr old son on this tour-it is fabulous! We felt like we were really there during the revolution-I really have not spent a lot of time downtown and even though I am a native NYer, I did not know of all the history! I highly recommend this tour, as the tour guide is AWESOME! : entertaining, knowledgeable, and has quite obviously done the research! so much so that it was really easy to imagine and be there during the Revolution-wish my history teachers were that good when I was in school. Great stories-the time went by quicker than I would have liked-my son and I plan to take the Civil War tour next! Enjoy!

Interesting, educational and fun
Wed, Apr 23, 08   10:00 AM janowsky Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
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.

If you love American history , you'll love this ..
Tue, Apr 22, 08   1:00 PM ritamanderso Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.
