We have great reviews!

Karen has a wealth of knowledge which she shared during the tour, in a way that was not dull. She is a natural and didn’t need to refer to a script to share. It made for an exciting tour and even though we covered a lot of ground in the city, it didn’t seem that way at all. I will definitely partake in her other tours.

Karen is a gem. My family (all ages) recently took her walking tour on a frigid December day. She really knows her stuff and is a wonderful narrator who artfully brings to life the people and the events that risked it all to create America. The tour was about 2 hours long and very do-able. She was generous with her time as we peppered her with questions and she eagerly shared book recommendations and insights that inspired us to our own added searches. Would recommend the tour at any time of year, but it was especially poignant in December as you really get a sense for how weather (as well as some luck) factored in to those winter skirmishes. Thank you, Karen/Mrs Q!!

It was a pleasure meeting everyone!

We had a wonderful time with Karen, she is an excellent historian and storyteller. History came alive for us on the streets of lower Manhattan! The time went by so quickly. So glad to have taken this tour, we (all three of us) highly recommend it.

My husband and I love history and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Karen. We learned so much more and saw sites we have never seen in NYC before. We hope to take more tours in the future. Thank you!

We were thrilled to be on the first tour of 2022! Karen is a wealth of information, she presents with such enthusiasm. Loved discovering things we’ve probably walked by many times and never noticed. Learned so much, highly recommend and the time went too too fast!

Thank you! It was a pleasure. Hope to see you again. - Karen Q

Karen is one of the best tour guides and historians that I've met. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the revolutionary war era made the tour so fun and informative. She shared details about local residents, spies, and battles in New York City that our group had not learned before. I'm looking forward to viewing Karen's You Tube channel and seeing her as "Mrs. Q".

Though I love history and thought I knew quite a lot about revolutionary war history, I learned so much during our walking tour with Karen. She was congenial, knowledgeable and very welcoming. It was very enjoyable and I now have a desire after the tour to read and learn more about that period in New York City's history and the British occupation. Highly recommend her tours.

I am an American history lover and knew a lot of the basic history of this walking tour. We met Karen and I was immediately impressed with her enthusiasm and her warm welcoming greeting to our group. She gave a great background setup of the times and shared dozens of intimate details that aren't in the history books relating to the tour we were about to take. Karen presented a small intimate New York that existed at the time, as we walked the narrow streets her story telling made me feel like we were watching the events play out. Her knowledge of the period is amazing. She truly made Revolutionary New York come alive, thank you.

Guide was friendly and very informative about both men and the time in which they were living, the political climate and their personal lives. Definitely learned some great history! Would strongly recommend for anyone who wants to do more than scratch the surface of New York and American history! Has piqued our interest to learn more! Thank you!

Karen Q was our tour guide and we learned volumes!! I don’t think you can find anyone more knowledgeable about US history than Karen. She is fantastic and is a pro. Really enjoyed the tour and I highly recommend.
