This was a fantastic tour. I learned a lot. Our guide was full of interesting stories and was obviously very well-read re: New York history. A great way to spend an afternoon for visitors and residents alike!

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.

110% Worthwhile
Fri, Aug 17, 07   10:00 AM dadbirthday Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

No two ways about it: Karen was a fantastic guide. It was three hours VERY well spent. I've sung the praises of this tour to everyone who asked about our trip to NYC.

This tour was excellent. The pace was good, not too fast not too slow. Karen is so knowledgeable about her subject its amazing how she keeps all of the facts in her head. We knew nothing about this topic but came away with a much better understanding and information on the history which we didn't get from any other tour or brochure. We would recommend this for anyone who wants to know more about this period of American history. Not for children though its too indepth

Karen's tours are the best!!!!!
Fri, Aug 17, 07   1:15 PM curtis70 Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Karen is the best. She has done extensive research to provide her clients with not only a historically interesting tour but her knowledge of and enthusiasm for the subjects are infectious. She manages to bring the history of New York alive with the stories of the people involved. This is NOT just a sight seeing tour that tells you a few facts and points out a few old buildings, you feel immersed in the events of the day. I have been to New York City twice and have taken the Civil War and Revolutionary War Tours, they are a highlight of both of my vacations. I look forward to going back to see what Karen has added to the line up. Dr. Curtis R. Wheatley

My guide was very knowledgable about the area and the people of the time. It was very interesting to see some of the sites in our history and to learn more about the characters responsible for the founding of our country. If you love history, you will love this tour. I spent 6 days in Manhattan and this tour is probably the highlight of my vacation.

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.

Best Insight of Boston's History!
Sat, May 9  1:00 PM coleennauman Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This was one of the best tours I have been on. The guide was very knowledgeable and made you feel like you were there during the time period. Even history buffs will learn something new. The city has a fascinating history and the guide loves the city now and then. I highly recommend this to everyone!

Disappointed
Fri, May 11, 07   1:15 PM cnaisenbrey Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Unable to take tour due to last minute illness of tour guide. There is no contingency plan if the tour guide is ill. We were offered alternative tour times, but we were only in NYC for the day and had planned whole day around tour.

Our guide was very personable and did a great job of sharing her knowledge of the events of the Revolutionary War associated with New York. She made the people involved come to life.

i've taken both the civil war era tour and now the revolutionary war tour from patriot tours - both were excellent. She covers and array of people, events and ideas which are key to the fascinating history of lower manhattan. highly recommended.
