Great tour - Guide Debbie M. was so knowledgeable and engaging. She included so many details of what happened that awful day of 9/11 as she walked with us through the business district and the World Trade Center. She included interesting information about the new buildings and installations at Ground Zero and shared many historic images on her laptop to further explain what happened that day. She answered all our questions and was interested in what our feelings and experiences were the day the planes hit. An added bonus was that Debbie was so helpful to me while I took numerous photos of the sites. We stopped as often as I wanted, and she pointed out some really memorable spots for me to photograph. Great guide for a very worthwhile tour.

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review. We're so glad to know that your experience was one that was so positively memorable. It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since the occurrence of the terrorist-led attacks that changed the world forever. We're so glad that your Guide was able to share insightful information of that tragic day and to assist you with your photo-taking, as well. We look forward to serving you again and hope that you will keep us in mind when looking to book future NYC experiences. All the best!
