5Great Tour of 9/11 Grounds
very well narrated tour of the 9/11 grounds. The guide was expert in the history of the neighborhood, the 9/11 tragedy, and subsequent events. It was just the right amount of walking. The only issue is that it was occasionally difficult to hear Ross because he had a weak sound system.
5Delighted
Meghan was an excellent tour guide she gave us so much information and presented it all so well she is a credit to your organisation I think she is the most enjoyable guide we have ever encountered
5Fun
Our guide Megan was fun, experienced, and easy to talk to. Well done
5Jaclyn is the best tour guide!
Our tour guide Jaclyn was absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and provided so many important key facts about 9/11 I had no idea about. I was also impressed that she learns a new name on the memorial when they do the birthday white roses. She went above and beyond, I truly appreciate that!
5Pleasantly surprised!
Justin was very personable and knowledgeable! As a New Yorker I got much more info than what we heard on the news. This was a much deeper look back and was very grateful for the insight.
5Excellent and Meaningful
Sean made the experience incredibly real with his first-hand account as well as his impressive recall of direct quotes from a variety of sources about the 9/11 tragedy. He shepherded us through this harrowing story in a very meaningful way.

About New York City
New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.
Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
