An amazing tour
MaryLynn_L, Sept 2023
We had an amazing guide, he was very knowledgeable it was too bad it was raining because we had paid for the observatory floor in the freedom tower but because of the rain we could not see a thing up there so that was disappointing. The actual tour of the museum was very good. This is a must see to remember all those who died thst horrible day!

Good in general
Lisa_P, Sept 2023
The tour was in general good, did the tour, museum and observatory. But the tour itself with the guide was a bit strange with some kind of Information i did not expected and which was not related to 9/11.
Will never forget it.
JohnR, Sept 2023
This whole tour was simply amazing. We loved every part of it. Tim M was our guide and he was super informative and had stories to tell about all the events that occurred. He had first hand stories from people who he knew. It was quite an easy walk around the streets so people of all ages will be able to do it. You end up at the memorial fountain and the emotions you feel at the site are really strong. The museum is next ant that was incredible. All topped off with a ride up the elevator to the top of the new World Trade. Highly recommended.
Respectful and Knowledgeable Guide

Steven_Z, Sept 2023
Tim was an excellent guide, true New Yorker, accent and all ,everyone knows the story, but to hear it from a New Yorker's point of view was special. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the City.

An excellent tour, covering an emotional topic. Angelica did a superb job, appreciated her willingness to share her personal stories.
A memorable tour with an excellent guide
Lucy_S, Sept 2023
A big thank you to Tim M for such a fantastic tour! It was my first time visiting the memorial and it was truly fantastic. Tim M was so interesting to listen to and his personal experiences and stories shared were very emotional. Well worth booking. The tour was on time and the meeting point was easy to find. I found it an easy way of ensuring that I covered all areas (memorial, museum, observatory) in one go, which with limited time in NYC was important to me. Tim M’s personal touch made it all the more memorable. Thanks Tim!

Our tour guide Tim did a nice job adding personal tidbits of knowledge to our tour. It was very hot and he added a stop inside to allow us to cool down.
