Fascinating facts

| This was a most fascinating tour conducted by a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Not only did we see the sights and experience the sounds of New York but we learned many interesting facts about the revolutionary era. My wife and I are native New Yorkers, raised in Queens, who attended High School in Manhattan. But our tour guide had many stories to tell us that we did not know. She answered all our questions and brought history to life. We would recommend this tour most highly. | ||||||

Excellent with only one negative.

| My sister and I, who are in our mid fifties and early sixties, debated whether or not we could physically endure the walking involved in this tour. After careful consideration we decided to give it a try thinking we could always drop out if it proved too much for us. We were both very glad that we took the chance. Our group guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and interesting. She enlivened the historical facts with stories of real humans who either struggled and yearned for independence or struggled to support the system and crown they loved. We on the other hand had our own struggles. We had been in New York for three days prior to your tour and had done a great deal of sightseeing so were already very tired. Your web site cautioned to arrive on time or the tour guide would start the tour without us. We were a few minutes early for the tour. However, our tour guide waited about thirty minutes for another person who had signed up for the tour just that morning. We had booked our tickets weeks in advance. The 30 minutes we stood waiting on this person made it very difficult for us to complete the tour. We did complete it but it was a struggle and we did not enjoy it as much as we could have. The guide even made a comment that this person was behaving in a selfish way to expect everyone to wait for her but she waited nevertheless. We would have enjoyed the tour much more if we had been able to leave on time and not stand around sapping our already limited strength. | ||||||

| I may have known at one time but certainly forgot the important role of NYC in our history and the Revolutionary War. This tour jogs your memory with forgotten names, dates and events with the added benefit of being on the spot or near where it happened. Events come alive amid the hustle/bustle of NY. Karen is an excellent guide; able to answer all the questions and keep to the subject. One thing I realized from this and two other walking tours I took is the enormous pride New Yorkers have in their city and its history. | ||||||

| THIS IS A TOUR I WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN LEARNING ABOUT THE PLAYERS AND PLACES IN 18TH CENTURY MANHATTAN. YOUR GUIDE MAKES HISTORY COME ALIVE IN AN ENGAGING WAY. THE THREE AND A HALF HOUR WALKING TOUR IS PACKED WITH INFORMATION. WEAR A REALLY COMFORTABLE PAIR OF SHOES AND BRING A CAMERA. ENJOY THE TOUR. | ||||||

| Karen is highly knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about the topic. On the day we toured, it was unfortunately just too cold for us to last more than an hour, however, both the grandmother and the 8 year old. I would enjoy trying again! | ||||||

| A great way to spend a few hours in Manhattan! Karen, our tour guide, dished up so many interesting tidbits about the goings-on in the "town" that the time just flew by. It's amazing what bits and pieces are still present in today's lower Manhattan to tie the whole story together. Duane Reade is more than a drugstore chain! | ||||||

| We found this tour initially mentioned in a NY Times article, though not this specific organization. I read McCullogh's '1776' and the tour guide was familiar with the text. We had excellent discussions about Howe, Washington, Hamilton and other people mentioned in the book. The events leading up to the revolution in New York were also discussed. It was truly interesting and informative, particularly for us, as we are History Enthusiasts. The guide was extremely well-informed and brought reprints from period newspapers and other documents which made the experience more meaningful. It is difficult to imagine NYC at that time, as it is so different today -so built up. I highly recommend it. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| Opened up an amazing insight into a pivotal time in US history. Guide (think it was Karen) was a total enthusiast and amazingly well informed. Her understanding of the significance of the background as well as the events themselves added enormously to the quality of the occassion. | ||||||

| I didn't find that there were many important events and artifacts connected tot he Civil War in New York City, with the Draft Riots being the most important. However, I thought the guide did an excellent job of relating what was there. She was inthusiastic and very articulate. I really enjoyed listening to her. Her mentioning of other non-Civil War, yet related, significant events which took place in NYC within 20 or 30 years of the Civil War also helped make it a better tour. | ||||||

Another winner!

| This was quite simply one of the best tours I've been on. The tour guide, was also the owner of the company, and was enormously well informed, and personally intrested in her subject. She was not just reading a script written by others. She spent a lot of the time talking about interesting people and events that are not that well known. This really made the tour come alive. | ||||||
