| We were looking to have a special day as we left Amsterdam on a bus trip with 3 bus loads from my fiance's office. They are the largest employer in Montgomery County where we live. Karen was interesting and personable. She really knows her stuff and linked it extremely well with our interests and personal knowledge as well. She included everyone in the group and kept it lively. THANK YOU!!! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| My wife and I took this tour on the first day of our stay in NY. We loved it. It gave us a good sense of where the spirit of New York (and New Yorkers) came from, something we thought about for the rest of our trip. Even if you don't like history, go on this tour. It is not dry. The guide is EXCELLENT--enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and sensitive. Again, strongly recommended. You will learn why and how New York became New York! | ||||||

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. | ||||||

| Enthusiastic guide, small group, good pace with lots of fascinating insights and information. Our group of 3 US citizens and 4 UK tourists made the subject matter of the tour even more interesting. Plenty of time for questions and a very personalised experience throughout. Would certainly recommend Partriot Tours to domestic and international visitors alike. | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| Karen did such a great job passing on her vast knowledge of revolutionary war New York history in an interesting and light hearted way that the time just flew by. I love history and this was a great treat for me and my friends. I highly recommend this tour to anyone of any age. | ||||||

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. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| this tour is not for young children, as there is a lot of walking and standing. our guide was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had. i am not even a revolutionary war buff, but found it interesting and entertaining. she was fabulous and sharp as a tack! really knows her stuff and is like every guide should be. | ||||||

Good Walking Tour

| 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. | ||||||

American Revolution in New York tour excellent

| I and my wife and daughter visited New York City for a week in mid August. I was mildly interested in the American Revolution in New York tour, my wife more so. All of us were surprised by how much we enjoyed this activity. Our teacher was knowlegable, able to tell an interested story over a period of 2 hours, and skilled in knowing what facts in the story were salient, which were not. She was also extremely enthusiastic, clearly enjoying her task. The experience as a whole felt more like a string of interesting discoveries, less like a straightforward lecture. Her narrative was well conceived to match the order of buildings and streets we visited, but also shaped nicely into a broader beginning-middle-end narrative. THe experience overall has encouraged me and my wife to begin reading more about this subject. Truly, this was one of the most enjoyable parts of our New York trip, and we strongly recommend it to other visitors. | ||||||
