| The tour guide was very knowlegeable and was able to answer any questions asked. As an improvement, I would suggest the tour end at where the Five Points was since the Draft Riots are one of the most significant Civil War incidents. | ||||||

| Karen displays a passion for the history of New York in the Revolutionary War period. She has researched this subject tirelessly since age 13 down to the detail of reading newspapers of that era. Consequently, she can relate stories of individuals and events in vivid detail and breathe exhilaration into the telling. Anyone interested in this period of time should attend. Anyone who lives in New York should attend regardless of a previous interest in the American Revolution. | ||||||

| Due to inclement weather, we were the only ones on the tour. This proved to be quite a treat because our guide was extremely knowledgeable and willing to interact with all our questions and opinons. We really appreciated her extensive knowledge and genuine interest and excitement in her topic. We came away with a whole new impression of the history of colonial New York, life during the Revolutionary War, and the war events that took place in New York City. | ||||||

OLD NEW YORK COMES ALIVE

| We thougt that our tour guide was terrific: she knew both the general themes as well as the "hidden gems" that gave so much color to this exciting period in American History. Karen not only focused on New York but put it in context of the American Revolution. Karen's continuing research was evident in the maps, copies of Broadsides, etc made the tour even more interesting to my wife and I As someone who teaches US History at 2 local colleges, about 99% of what she talked about was new inofmration. Her passion for History and for New York during this time will be remebered always. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| 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

| 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. | ||||||

Thoughtfully links the modern city to theCivil War

| This tour was well constructed and covered a variety of Civil War topics. The story about General Daniel Sickles and his ties to New York was interesting. Would have been great to hear more about New York's contribution to the War - i.e. how many regiments came from New York, how many men enlisted, and some famous individuals. The information about the 1863 draft riots was revealing - it would have been great to get more details on this, some example incidents during it, and how it changed the city afterwards. Overall, the tour provides a good introduction to an admittedly large subject matter that could support an even longer tour and route. | ||||||
