Patriot Tours, Inc. is New York City's only walking tour company specializing in lower Manhattan. Whether you are an American history buff, someone interested in learning more about the city's history, or even a walking tour addict, our historic walking tours are a great way to spend a few hours.

We offer three different experiences of Lower Manhattan: Revolutionary Era, Civil War Era and Architecture. All are great ways to learn about the city's key role in American and world history.
Our tours are different from anything else in NYC! We don’t spend a couple of days looking up sites on the internet and writing a script. Instead, we carefully research every time period we cover. We use period documents like newspapers, pamphlets, personal correspondence and broadsides. Then, we pick events that you will find most interesting and that you can relate to. Plus, all of our tours are designed to tell a complete story from start to finish and conducted personally by the researcher.

All tours are limited to 15 customers on weekdays and 20 on weekends. We want to engage with you and create a total historic experience. Plus, we use original period documents on all of our tours to help illustrate the story.
