Karen Quinones was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Hercules Mulligan and Aaron Burr. I have a greater understanding and more respect for both Burr and Mulligan.

This was the best tour i have ever been on. I love the way both Hamilton and Burr were great risk takers and were the wunderkinds of their generation. I thought the tour was well balanced. Mrs. “Q” is an expert story teller. If i had more time in ny i would have signed up for her architectural tour - philip from Dallas

Karen is so knowledgeable. You can't stump her with a question. She's fun, energetic, witty and full of details. We will book with Karen every single trip to New York. We highly recommend her tours.

We had the pleasure of having Karen as our guide on this fantastic walking tour. We booked the tour to find out more about the Hamilton/ Burr dynamic as we are Hamilton musical fans but we got so much more than we expected. Karen has an encyclopaedic knowledge on the time and historic locations within NY and we learned loads. We were lucky with the weather and the time totally flew by on the tour. We will definitely do another tour with Karen when we are next in NY. We also bought Karen’s book on Theodosia Burr which I’ve just finished- really enjoyed the book too. Thank you Karen for the great tour.

Karen Q is passionate about history and her stories of both the personal and political lives of Hamilton and Burr were fascinating. She shared quite a few writings published during their lives, including a funny and (for the time) slightly bawdy poem about Burr’s romancing of his future wife, as well as paintings of significant people and places. Karen helps you to imagine the city as it was at the birth of our nation. I highly recommend this tour.

I have studied the colonial era for decades, but always enjoy interacting with scholars of every kind with their ideas, learning, and passion for the period. Mrs Q (Karen) gave me perspectives, details, and background that enhanced what I knew and enabled my research to advance. Walking in the paths of our Founders (emotionally and physically) is transformative. In addition, her enthusiasm for the period, and her interest in the thoughts of her walking companions, is inspiring. I heartily and happily endorse the experience of Patriot Tours NYC. The Video (Zoom/YouTube) she produces delights as well. GregRobin Smith Benjamin Franklin - LIVE!

Karen is a font of knowledge when it comes to American history. We were an Australian family whom knew very little but were really excited with all the new history we learnt. Karen was very easy to talk with and answered all questions with great depth. Thoroughly recommend taking this tour with Karen and enjoy a walk with intellect. A+++++
