A Well-Conceived Tour
|

| The Revolutionary Tour walk was a pleasure. It hit the sights I expected to see in downtown Manhattan, while also mixing in a few pleasant surprises and out-of-the way places along the way. It was clear that the route and the locations we visited had been given a lot thought by the company, which was great to see. The tour guide was also very knowledgeable and provided a balanced mixture of factual events, description of people, appropriate context, and the occasion myth or lore to keep us honest. She was an excellent guide because she was clearly knowledgeable, but also passionate about her subject. She actively engaged with us individually and shared more tidbits as we walked between stops. The tour also was well-paced: we visited about 12-15 sites during just over 2.5 hours, which allowed for a steady pace, but without any feeling of being rushed. My slight criticism is that the tour was a bit weak on the military history of the period. For instance, no mention was made of the fact that the Stamp Tax and other events leading to the outbreak of war were directly related to the British Empire's large debt from fighting The Seven Year's War, much of which happend in North America. Also, the tour guide was inaccurate or vague on a few dates she mentioned regarding the battles fought in the New York City area. She also stated that the Battle of Monmouth in 1778 was the first time Washington was victorious in battle against the British. Technically, that fight was a draw. Most people attribute his earliest victories to Trenton (against the Hessians) and to Princeton (against the British), both in 1777. However, this should not overshadow the professionalism of the guide and the well-executed tour. For anyone serious about history and the American Revolution, I'd recommend this tour because it's more in-depth and comprehensive than Big Onion's competing tour, which I've also taken. Bravo to Patriot Tours - well done! | ||||||

| I found this tour to be pretty much exactly what it was advertised. The guide was able to give in depth history on the sites where we stopped and answer most of the questions posed. I never felt rushed or hurried. The tour was able to give me a good sense of what the area might have looked like during the time focused on. | ||||||

Much more to NYC than meets the eye

| It was Memorial Day and myself and some friends thought a historical tour would be a great way to learn more about New York City. We live here but we knew that there is so much history that we pass by every day without knowing any better. We hoped the tour would enlighten us and we were not disappointed; it easily surpassed our expectations. The reason was our excellent tour guide, Karen, who did a great job of not only teaching us some of the history of the city, but did it in a way that kept our interest throughout the entire tour. This was largely due to her style of mixing in stories alongside pointing our various buildings and landmarks. I only wish my history classes had been run like this. I probably would have learned a lot more back then if they had. | ||||||

Not for young children

| My husband and I brought our seven year old daughter on this tour because she watches Liberty Kids about the Revolutionary War, and learned a little bit about it in school. We all thought this would be a great way to understand the war better and learn a little bit more of what happened in our city. What we found was information that was way over her head. We didn't finish the tour because she was so bored and really didn't care about the sites. The tour is NOT ment for young children as they have a short attention span and it wasn't fun for her. I think this tour would have been fun for her had there been some kind of brouchure with activities on it for her. We took her to Ellis Island and they have a little brouchure that kids use along with the tour that make it fun for the kids. I think this would be a good idea to use for this tour as well. As for my husband and I we would love to take the tour again without our children. Even though we left early, we found the tour to be full of information and the tour guide was very nice. She was really great at answering questions not just about Manhattan but about the other boroughs in the city and what roll they played in the war. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| This is an excellent tour of lower Manhattan. The tour guide was also the owner and she was extremely knowledgable of the area in general, and the history in particular. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the historical aspects of New York City or even someone who justs wants to see some of the historical sights of the city. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||
