Our tour guide, Annie from Sam's tours, was excellent. She knew the facts but better than that, had personal experiences to share about the events on 9/11. The tour itself through St. Paul's Chapel and then the World Trade Centre site, was emotional but presented in a factual way. It was actually uplifting, especially to hear the stories of how people helped other people. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see the memorial; there had been a fierce wind and rain storm and the memorial closed early. However, we felt we had learned a great deal about the attack and its aftermath, and we had seen the small memorials in the Chapel. I would recommend this tour for anyone.
