A MUST DO ACTIVITY!
Fri, Jun 12  1:00 PM billwade Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our guide was so very knowledgeable of the Revolutionary War and the involvement of the local citizens in the era before, during and after the War. She helped us picture how the area would have looked at that time and how that affected the local battles. Our guide really transported us back in time. We enjoyed the personal attention and I am not even sure how many blocks we walked but it was not difficult at all.

Exceeded Expectations
Fri, Jun 5  10:00 AM Folinator Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The tour guide from Patriot Tours was extremely good at what she did. She made history come alive for us as we walked among the many sites NYC has from the Revolutionary War. It was a cold and rainy day in June so she also tried to spend as much time as possible inside buildings (such as Saint Paul's Cathedral) to allow us to warm up between jaunts. I would whole-heartedly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a side of New York City you won't get from a tour bus.

Karen, (tour guide) was very knowledgeable...she knew her history and was able to answer all questions. She was very friendly and made you feel like you were part of the Revolutionary Era. Would recommend the tour to others.

My wife and I booked this tour and are glad we did! Karen is a wonderful guide and in very short order you realize she REALLY knows her history! She took the time to answer any questions and made us feel as if we'd been friends for years. Anyone interested in historical New York must take this tour!

Highlight of our trip
Mon, May 25  10:00 AM MDHeck Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We did the things tourists usually do in NY - Broadway show, museums, restaurants - but our Revolutionary Era Walking Tour was easily the highlight of the trip. Beautiful weather and a small turnout on Memorial Day - our group of 3 was it - contributed to the experience, but it was mostly due our guide, Karen. She was friendly, entertaining, enthusiastic, and possessed a deep knowledge of the subject matter.

informative, interesting, insightful
Fri, May 22  1:30 PM EdChessman Male 40-49 Local Couple on a Date
My time with Karen was well spent as we walked through downtown Manhattan, rich with history. All the stories, anecdotes and descriptions were finely detailed. I was especially pleased with the period cartoons that helped reinforce the emotion and conflicting opinions. This was a rare treat for those who appreciate the Civil War and the great ironies involved. There is so much to learn that we never hear of in traditional forums and public education. Truly an eye-opening experience and one not soon forgotten. I highly recommend it and consider is comparable to a crash course in New York history.

Great and informative tour!!
Wed, May 13  1:30 PM KCulbreth Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
My wife and I took this tour on May 13th. Our guide was very personable and approachable. She made us the center of her attention and was open to any questions, even if they didn't pertain to the current topic. Very warm personality and told about places and events with energy to keep it interesting. You can tell she enjoys what she does and we look forward to taking another historic walking tour on our next visit to NYC in 2010.

What a wonderful experience!
Fri, Apr 24  10:00 AM Uncledo1 Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our tour guide, Karen, made history come alive with events people and places along the tour. Karen's excitement and love for the topic spilled over to us, making the tour interesting and informative. We had watched DVD Disc 1 of the Ric Burns PBS series on New York, and so we wanted to actually see where the events took place. However, watching this program is not necessary, because Karen is able to guide the tour at any level from novice to highly knowledgeable and tailor the experience to the audience. We would do the tour again, and we highly recommend it for those interested in the history of New York and it's role in the development of the USA.

Amazing tour
Sat, Mar 28  1:00 PM Nratzan Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I read 1776 by David McCullough about a year ago and got very interested in the history of the revolutionary era in new York. When I was in new York last week for five days I went on this tour with high hopes, and Karen completely surpassed my expectations with her knowledge,scope, and passion. I highly recommend this tour. My only recommendations to Karen would be to have introductions in the beginning so the group can be less formal. People like to know who their walking around with, even if it's only by name. Also, I would like to have more opportunity to ask questions, though I did so while walking and in between stops. Nonetheless, it was one of the most interesting and exciting tours that I've been on.

Excellent Tour Guide - Interesting History
Sat, Mar 28  1:00 PM wjmarsden Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our tour guide was excellent - very knowlegeable and engaging. I was a history major in college but must confess I did not know much about New York City's role during the American Revolution. The guide did an excellent job of describing the relevant events and players. If you liked David McCullough's "1776," you will like this tour.

Interesting individual tour
Fri, Mar 20  1:30 PM timboeger Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
we very much enjoyed the tour because we were the only one on this tour and the guide was able to change the tour from its original concept to meet our individual knowledge. Besides that the guide was having a good knowledge about all we wanted to know and was speaking clearly in an very entertaining manner. Thanks a lot We will join other tours during our next stay. Especially if there will be an architectural tour Best Tim Böger, Petra Botz and Finn Böger

Absolutely superb and totally up to the hype
Tue, Mar 17  1:00 PM Tom_Meyer Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Karen is as charming as she is knowledgeable about the American Revolution and the decades leading up to it. I went in with extremely high expectations and they were -- every one of them -- exceeded. I cannot recommend this tour too highly.
