Tim was our tour guide and it was a true pleasure to meet him. Knowledgable, warm & friendly we left feeling like we had made a new friend. Tim honoured the memory of those who perished and those who gave their lives. This was an experience we won’t ever forget.

This tour was amazing!! I loved getting to know the facts about what happened. Our tour guide, Dana, knew a bunch of verified facts that were interesting and that I had never heard before. She was great at knowing the important numbers and also sharing her personal story. We were sure to find her brother’s picture on the wall in the museum after the tour. She is doing a wonderful job of making sure his memory is not forgotten. So thankful we were able to add this tour into our NYC trip!!
