This tour really opened to my eyes to some surprising historical insights as to what happened right in my neighborhood back in the Revolutionary War times. Locals should really take the time to learn of out area's historical signifigance.

Old New York & Revolutionary History Come Alive
Thu, Oct 15  1:00 PM RebeccaKeane Unspecified 50-59 Unspecified Family Without Children
My husband and I loved this tour. We learned so much about NYC and our revolutionary war history. We saw so many treasures that we would never have seen on our own and she really brought everything to life with stories about fascinating individuals and historical landmarks. We would recommend this to anyone. Our intrepid tour guide didn't short us a bit despite our being in the midst of a mild nor'easter!

Wonderful Tour!

A great guide can make anything interesting. Karen was truly great, and the subject matter is highly interesting as well. So the tour was truly memorable! The tour covers New York from its founding through the birth of the nation. New York played such an important role! Fascinating stuff to be sure. I recommend listen to McCollough's audiobook "1776" before this tour to give additional context. Enjoy!

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.

Very Interesting Walking Tour`
Fri, Aug 15, 08   1:30 PM npavis Unspecified Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I had taken the Revolutionary walking tour last year and was glad I was in NYC to sign up for the civil war one. It was very interesting. The tour guide knows her history and you can tell she loves history. Took us to areas I never would have found on my own. Learned information I never knew before - how much NYC was connected with the civil war. I recommend it for anyone who is interested in history and interested in a different type of walking tour.

Rev Era Walking Tour: bypass to your own detriment
Fri, Aug 15, 08   10:00 AM georgelizard Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
Most people do not appreciate how historical a city New York is. Most people that is who haven't gone on the Revolutionary Era Walking Tour. From Bowling Green Park to Fraunces Tavern to Saint Paul's Chapel, New York is utterly replete with remnants of a remarkable past. Add to this the fascinating and inspiring stories told so expertly by the incomparable Karen, our guide, of the people who populated these arenas during those precarious years prior to our Nation's birth, and you have the makings of a 2 and a half hour journey that can compete with the best that even modern N.Y. has to offer. Please discover this for yourself. You'll no longer be able to see the city or even the country in the same way again.

Very informative tour
Wed, Aug 6, 08   1:00 PM joejoni Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
We would highly recommend this tour. It was fun, informative, and well presented. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The only thing to be aware of is time. Our tour took 3 hours, though it was time well spent. Maybe our tour went long because we asked so many questions.

This tour was excellent. The pace was good, not too fast not too slow. Karen is so knowledgeable about her subject its amazing how she keeps all of the facts in her head. We knew nothing about this topic but came away with a much better understanding and information on the history which we didn't get from any other tour or brochure. We would recommend this for anyone who wants to know more about this period of American history. Not for children though its too indepth

Fantastic - Informative - Well Organized - Super
Wed, Jul 4, 07   1:15 PM jshipley1184 Unspecified 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The tour was great from the beginning. The guide holds the tour size to 15 participants that makes it possible to interact and in fact actually hear the tour guide. The other tour (Big Onion I believe) that was leaving at the same time must have had over 40 people in it and was basically a mob. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable and easy to understand. The tour itself was well organized and very informative. We learned numerous facts that we did not know about the Revolutionary War especially about New York's involvement. The tour stayed on schedule and ended right on time. We would recommend Patriot Tours unconditionally to anyone. Jim and Sallie

Very nice tour

I very much enjoyed the tour. I appreciated the enthusiasm and knowledge our tour guide possessed and her willingness to share. It was clear she was very enthused about the history of Manhattan in this era. Frankly, the tour set the stage for tour of Manhattan during the week...we were able to relate the different sites we saw to much of the information she shared with us on the tour. It was the highlight of the trip in a city of highlights. I'll take the Civil War tour on the next trip back. Thanks. Bob
