Nice tour but not much "walking" Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan
Sat, Feb 17, 07 1:00 PM	christo	Male	40-49	Local	Family With Children
It was a cold windy day in downtown Manhattan and I was expecting there to be a little more walking in this tour. I found the content interesting and, as a native, learned a lot about revolutionary NYC that I never knew. I found learning the history of things I've walked past a million times also very compelling. Still, it seems the tour would have been more appropriate for a summer day. In most cases we would walk half a block and then stop for 10-20 mins hearing another interesting bit of history. I suggest that on cold days the tour should be designed for a little more walking while outside, and a little more than two stops inside (we stopped only in St. Pauls and Trinity).
Well done! Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Revolutionary War tour of lower Manhattan. Karen, the guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She fielded all questions and embellished the answers with more information. I would recommend this tour to all age levels since American History is a forgotten course in school and we can all learn from Washington's unassuming leadership style.

Karen Quinones of Patriot Tours is a walking encyclopedia... with personality. Her knowledge of the people and events that shaped New York City during the Revolutionary War era is impressive, and her passion for the subject is infectious. She clearly has a love for this period in history and has researched it well. We took our time, winding through the streets of lower Manhattan, while her attention to detail made every story come alive. I happened to take a tour with her on a particularly cold and windy day, but this did not prevent me from enjoying the experience. Never once was I bored or distracted, even though I live in Manhattan. Accompanied by copies of old maps, broadsides, and historic engravings, Karen's enthusiasm and vivid descriptions enabled me to "see" the original shoreline of Manhattan, the fervent efforts of the Sons of Liberty, the quaint homes that lined the narrow streets, and Washington's retreat from the British... and much more. I intend to take a tour with her again (in warmer weather) -- she is just that good!
Great Tour! Civil War Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

We were looking for a walking tour that covered a rarely detailed part of Manhattan, the Civil War period. We were particularly interested in the rise and fall of the Five Points area. Our guide, Karen, was on time and armed with articles and pictures describing the time period. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. All important points were covered and highlighted with facts, figures and delicious gossip. From world renowned monuments to obscure spots, Karen covered them all with the passion of a person who loves the history of this amazing metropolis. This was truly a great way to spend a couple of hours learning and being amazed. I can't wait to go back for the Revolutionary War tour. Without a doubt one of the best entertainment investments you can make in the entertainment capital of the world.

A walking tour....definitely a different concept of touring this illustrious island called Manhattan, but vital in order to experience the passion, commitment, and dedication of those who courageously came before us. While listening to the comprehensive, as well as descriptive explanation of a multitude of historic events, you are literally transported into this significant period of time. As an American, more now than ever, it is paramount for each of us to understand the values, mission and determination of our previous settlers. Their creativity, selflessness and passion is reflected and communicated by the talent of this passionate American guide. This is a must for those of you who care about this nation and understand that it is those who came before us that have generously bestowed upon us what we have inherited today. This powerful tour gives this generous gift to each of you.

Karen's knowledge of the Revolutionary Era made you feel as if she had lived this Era. She provided the information as if she were telling a cohesive story of the time. My husband and I would definitely take another one of her tours..

Thorough and personable Revolutionary Era Walking Tour of Lower Manhattan

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.
