5 star rating: Highly Recommended Reviewed by Mrs E M, May 2013

We experienced an excellent 3 hour tour with our guide Tom. Tom provided information surrounding ground zero plus, he told us about the more important smaller things that we would never have heard about via the media. An excellent tour.

5 star rating: Highly Recommended Reviewed by Carol A. L, May 2013

The tour would not have been so meaningful without our guide who was there on 9/11. I can't imagine taking the tour without visiting the Memorial and think that being in the group made entry into the Memorial faster/easier.
