A super afternoon!
Fri, Nov 14, 08   1:30 PM Denise6 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
On a quick family visit to NYC we had a free afternoon that could have been spent inside a museum but we tried a Patriot walking tour instead. Even with a bit of a drizzle we were so glad to be outside and learning about the history of the city in and around Battery Park and Wall St. Karen regaled us with stories of New Yorkers during the Civil War in great and entertaining detail. We now can go back and explore even more on our own. We're looking forward to booking another of Karen's original and insightful tours!

Karen knows her subject exceptionally well and provided many interesting details and facts about the personalities-lives of Revolutionary War figures. It felt like we were privy to the "inside scoop" of the news of the day.

Fascinating insight to the Revolutionary War Era
Sat, Nov 8, 08   1:00 PM sridgemom Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Even though it was pouring down rain, we had a fascinating snapshot of the events that took place on the island of Manhattan before, during and after the Revolutionary War. The tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting, she was very engaging and her stories and descriptions of events allowed us to picture the events and geography in our minds. I would recommend this tour to anyone with even a little interest in the Revolutionary War Era and the events that occured in NYC.

This tour is amazing. It was the second time time my friends and I had gone on the tour and we weren't disappointed. The tour guide, Karen, is great. She is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions in detail. She was very personable with everyone, and encouraged questions and discussions. Even though it was raining and windy (really one of the rainiest days I have ever seen) it didn't take away from the tour, the group trudged on as if it was a normal sunny day. I recommend this tour to anyone. It is well worth it.

Absolutely Fantastic!

This tour was one of the best that I have ever taken! The tour guide was so engaging in her description and very, very knowledgeable about the subject and she was easy to follow and understand. She was so enthused about her subject and it showed with every step that we took. I would heartily recommend this tour to anyone because it is simply that good! Our tour guide provided a first class service for the cost of the ticket and it was well worth what we received! I will book another tour from her the next time that we are in New York.

Karen is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and personable. She had interesting stories that brought the Revolutionary war Era to life. She also had pertinent sketches of what the area looked like during that period, where we were standing. The walk was the perfect length as was the time.

Outstanding

Karen's tour was absolutely fascinating. Not once was she dry and stodgy, with a recitation of dates and facts. Rather she focused on the personal stories and anecdotes. The tour was long -- more than two and a half hours -- and we weren't bored for one minute. Just be absolutely sure to wear comfortable shoes!

great afternoon activity!

Our guide could not have been more informed on this topic. She was incredible! She carried copies of etchings that were very helpful in picturing what lower manhattan looking like over 200 years ago. She was very detailed in her information and really was able to give you a sense of the history and what it was like to live at that time. While it was a long walk, we went slowly from site to site. Maybe too detailed for some people, but we enjoyed every minute. We would love to do more of these tours in the future.

Mon, Sep 22, 08   10:00 AM marniec Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Lovely tour guide but tour not really designed for international tourists who are not fully informed on the history of the American Revolution. The tour guide was very knowledgeable on the topic but we couldn't follow some of the details (and time lines) as we only knew a small amount on the topic and the tour guide assumed we knew a lot more. As we were the only two on the tour we thought it could be tailored to us as international tourists but unfortunately it wasn't.

A great tour for history buffs
Fri, Sep 19, 08   10:00 AM Bridgemcks Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
This walking tour of lower Manhattan is rich with stories and details about the area's Revolutionary history. The guide brings to life many of the people and events that were so central to the birth of our country. The walk is well-researched and presented by a guide who clearly loves what she does.

I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC. I enjoyed 100% of the tour and learned so much! I've been on great walking tours in other cities like London, but this was by far the best of its kind. I look forward to your Civil War tour next time I'm in the City. Thanks again, Yoni N., Rehovot, Israel.
