Very Informative

My husband and I were the only people who showed up for the walk. It was in the middle of the week in the off-season, but our tour went on as scheduled and we were treated to a "private" tour. I have been recommending the tour to everyone who is interested because it was enjoyable and informative. Most people here on the West Coast do not know about New York's Revolutionary Era history. And, the tour was a great way to orientate yourself to New York City. Highly recommended!

Knowledgable, enthusiastic guide makes great tour
Wed, Oct 7  10:00 AM mwelker Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We ended up with only 4 people in our group, which made it easy to ask questions or follow up on things the guide had mentioned. She was very knowledgable about both the Revolutionary and the Civil Wars in New York. Besides learning about the Revolutionary War, it was a nice walk through lower Manhattan, and we got to walk down Wall Street, see the Stock Exchange, and see Ground Zero (from a short distance), in addition to the Revolutionary War sites. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in history.

Karen (tour guide) has a true passion for the local history and does an amazing job sharing the passion and history with everyone. The tour is fun, educational, and very interesting. Having grown up in the area, I learned a tremendous amount. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

History Lesson with Pizazz

I surpsrised my husband with a little get away recently to NYC which included one of the Patriot Tours. We took the Revolutionary War tour led by Karen. She arrived at the appointed time and place and promptly began the tour. We loved the tour. It was fun, informative and definetly worth the money. As a teacher, I would recommend the tour for any fourth grader or fifth grader in New York State who must take the state exam. Because the tours are small Karen is able to answer questions and tailor the tour to your interest in Revolutionary War history in New York State. For tourists from outside the state, the tour is perfect for understanding New York's importance in the revolution as well as the formation of our nation. She obviously has done her homework and one can see that she enjoys what she is doing. I plan on returning with our 11 and 10 year old sons and some of their friends as fun way to review local, state and national history during the 1700's. In addition, I am looking forward to taking the Civil War Tour. Happy walking.

This tour was extremely enjoyable and informative. Karen is an expert and brings the period and the geography to life! Would highly recommened this tour. Her expansive knowledge and passion will draw you in. I am a native New Yorker and I could not believe all that I learned about my city.

Excellent in every respect

The tour owner /guide was pleasant, answered any and all questions and provided us with an enjoyable tour. She was very knowledgeable as she talked about not only the events of the Revolution as they were connected to New York, but also shared tidbits about some of the people involved in the historical events. I think we will take her Civil War tour in the future

The Time Machine
Wed, Jun 25, 08   1:30 PM monicas1 Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
I took my 16 yr old son on this tour-it is fabulous! We felt like we were really there during the revolution-I really have not spent a lot of time downtown and even though I am a native NYer, I did not know of all the history! I highly recommend this tour, as the tour guide is AWESOME! : entertaining, knowledgeable, and has quite obviously done the research! so much so that it was really easy to imagine and be there during the Revolution-wish my history teachers were that good when I was in school. Great stories-the time went by quicker than I would have liked-my son and I plan to take the Civil War tour next! Enjoy!

Tour is an excellent & interesting history lesson!
Tue, Jun 3, 08   1:30 PM mlwisner Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
The tour was fantastic! I knew very little about New York City's role in the civil war apart from a few highlights. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and the I learned a lot about how the city influenced the war. I know quite a bit about the overall war, but had no idea of all the ties to the war effort. The buildings and streets you walk down are amazing and the visuals along the way also help to bring the story alive. Even if you do not like history much, the tour is a wonderful way to see some of the side streets and lesser known places in lower Manhattan. I can't wait to take my husband with me sometime to see the same tour!

Very Informative

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.

The tour was great
Mon, Sep 1, 08   10:00 AM mjbaker5 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We come from Australia and don't know all the history that amercians have of their own country however our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative in explaining various details. I would recommend the tour to anyone. It was an easy pace so no problem for anyone to keep up. The guide knew her subject very well and even when we finished down at Battery Park, she stayed and spoke to a few remaining for another 15-20 minutes. I would do the tour agin in a few years time as it was a great way to really understand the histroy of the area and I am sure there will be more information next time.

From the minute the tour began I felt I was walking where history had been made. The guide was incredibly informative, the pace was appropriate and I am sure would be no trouble for anyone. I highly recommend Patriot Tours and their Revolutionary Walking Tour.
