Fantastic!! Fun & informative! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
Mon, Mar 3, 08 10:00 AM	kimartin1969	Female	30-39	Local	Other
My friend and I attended the Revolutionary War walking tour in the AM; and the Civil War in the PM. We had a great time for both. For the Revolutionary tour, I found the small details discussed and the humor in which the Colonists "debated" interesting and funny at the same time. Seeing the landmarks of important happenings was such a neat thing. So much history happened in New York at this time and seeing it come to life through our guide, Karen, was great. She was funny, knowledgeable, and it was apparent she loved her job. Her enthusiasm for the history was contagious. If you like history, you will love this! Highly recommend!
An engaging, exciting tour. Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

Karen Quinones offered an enthusiastic and engaging tour. At times I found myself wishing that she had started by setting out a few specific themes to integrate the immense amount of information she shared. That would have helped give more structure to the vast, detailed knowledge she conveyed. But that point aside, it was still an excellent tour--both informative and entertaining. She loves the subject, knows an immense amount, and is an outstanding speaker. Highly recommended!
Manhattan circa 1760-1776 Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

Considering we started out in a (surprise) torrential downpour, it was terrific. It would have been better of course if the weather cooperated because there were early parts of the talk that were inaudible due to the severity of the rain and the fact that it echoed off of umbrellas and hoods, etc. and caused much fidgeting. To say that it was distracting is an understatement. but thankfully, it did stop within an hour. We also had periodic difficulty in hearing our guide because of the ubiquitous construction going on all around, especially down the narrow streets, such as Pearl and Maiden Lane. Maybe you should give her a microphone. (only kidding?) Other than that, I personally loved the synopsis of Manhattan's Revolutionary War era, seeing the corresponding locations in the flesh and especially hearing the spicier anecdotes of the characters involved. Fascinating stuff. And our guide was terrific; you could tell she knew a lot more than she was able to get out in the limited time we had, but she answered any and all questions with great proficiency and enthusiastiasm. The tour also provided a superb jumping off point for more in-depth explorations. Thanks again for a wonderful opportunity to fill in the details of our miraculous past. Well worth the time spent.

My co-workers and I enjoyed this very informative and fun tour of lower Manhattan and the Civil Era. Our guide was very well informed and very energetic. She provided so much fascinating info many "history" buffs may not have known about that time period. Highly recommend it and we look forward to joining another tour by this company.

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.
Excellent Presentation of Revolutionary War Manhat Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

The owner/tour guide for Patrior Tours did an excellent job of presenting Revolutionary War Manhattan. She was not only knowledgeable about the subject but was enthusiastic in her presentation. She gave prewar background to help you put yourself into the time period and was able to answer any and all questions put to her. I'm a tour guide myself in our state capitol and as such am probably more demanding than most. I can assure you the tour was thouroughly enjoyable and on a couple of occasions have found myself running some of her comments through my head post tour. A comforting thought is that she is not only the tour owner but also the only tour guide so you will be guaranteed the same quality tour I received.

Thorough and personable Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
Wed, Aug 16, 06 10:00 AM	lauras25	Female	20-29	Local	Other
I took my history-loving dad on the Rev. War tour this past summer, and though the two of us ended up being the whole group, Karen was an enthusiastic leader, well-versed in every aspect of lower Manhattan during the late-1700s onward. She paints pictures of the local citizens of the time through stories and anecdotes (many of them with names we all recognize on street signs these days), which really helps to make the tour entertaining for a non-history buff like me. As a local, I learned a lot about the city that I'd never known, most obviously what an essential role NYC played during the War -- one that's not always taught in the textbooks. As for my dad, he loved the one-on-one history lesson, and couldn't wait to make like George Washington and head to the Fraunces Tavern, which Karen had pointed out to us, afterward for a celebratory Bloody Mary.

We all loved our walking tour in NYC. Our only regret is that we had to leave early to catch a plane. So much insight and depth! I am a history buff and still learned a lot. Thanks

Incredibly Informative and Interesting!!!!! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
Mon, Nov 16 10:00 AM	JohnKuntz	Male	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Individual
Karen does a fantastic job of creating the imagery and energy of the time period by not only knowing interesting facts and experiences but by being able to present them in a way that explains the social culture, economics, religious viewpoints, and politics that all drove the Revolution. Having a guide that is so passioinate about the time period and New York sets this tour experience at a completely different level in comparison to other walking tours I have taken in the past. She develops a true educational experience. I took the Civil War tour and highly recommend it also.

Our tour guide was friendly and warm, and exhibited deep knowledge of the time period. Her enthusiasm was contageous, and it was fun to learn obscure facts about the area and the revolution. It was definitely one of the best tours I've ever taken.
