We met our guide at City Hall Park entrance just as the directions described. She was excited and enthusiastic as we were. The walk as easy and the stories were great! You could tell that she knew her subject and we had done some research and we knew she knew her stuff. Our guide was very educational and funny, which made it very enjoyable, one of the best tours we've ever done. We are not in the greatest of shape, but this walk was not difficult by any means. I've already highly recommended it to some friends that well be in Manhatthan for the next week. Thank you!

Karen's tours are brilliant!
Wed, Oct 31, 07   1:15 PM JPSmith Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Last year I took Patriot Tours' Revolutionary War Tour and loved it. Last week I took the Civil War Era Tour and it was great too. Karen really knows her stuff. The tour was full of entertaining anecdotes and she painted a picture of 19th century New York that made Lower Manhattan come alive for me. As far as I am concerned, this is a must-do for both travellers and New Yorkers alike. I can't wait for Karen to come up with her next tour.

A great way to see lower Manhattan.

Our guide was an enthusiastic, revolutionary-period history buff. She is very knowledgeable of NYC during this time period. The tour is accurately described in the web-site listing and more than met my small group's expectations. Don't be put off by the length of this tour (2.5 hours)! The pace and terrain covered are not difficult. Don't hesitate, book today!

Tue, Oct 30, 07   1:00 PM HPM1776 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
It was my first trip to NYC and it seemed so vast and intimidating at first but Karen helped give it a focus and made it more easy for me to relate to it not only in terms of where things were located geographically but its rich history, and some determining factors of the characteristic of the people of NYC- their buoyancy, perserverance, and strength. I learned some historical trivia and many facts, saw pictures of NYC during the Rev. era and got to know a few others who seemed to love American history as much as I do. I'd recommend it to everyone!

Well-researched, entertaining tour.

A great way to spend a few hours in Manhattan! Karen, our tour guide, dished up so many interesting tidbits about the goings-on in the "town" that the time just flew by. It's amazing what bits and pieces are still present in today's lower Manhattan to tie the whole story together. Duane Reade is more than a drugstore chain!

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.

Go on this walking tour.

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
Sat, Oct 13, 07   1:00 PM afcccg2 Male 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
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.

My 50th Birthday gift. Our guide was 100% brilliant in absolutely every aspect of the tour. Informative, funny and open to questions all the afternoon. I will recommend the Tour to my friends. Thank You very much, Neville Judd

The Best Tour of our Trip!
Tue, Oct 9, 07   1:00 PM ARK135 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Our guide, Karen, made this tour our favorite of the week! She was very knowledgeable and willing to answer our questions. We had no problem hearing or understanding her (a problem we encountered on other tours). She was very friendly and accommodating as well, allowing us to take pictures as we went along. She even managed to make history interesting for the member of the group who usually is not interested in history. Karen took us to places we would have found difficult to find on our own, so we felt the minimal fee was money well spent. We are already planning to include another tour from this company on our next trip to New York City. Thank you, Karen, for a great afternoon!

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.

Interesting historical accounts in real settings
Fri, Oct 5, 07   10:00 AM Garycardin Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

An engaging, exciting tour.

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!
