We took the private tour with our friends. Our guide Ray was excellent and he took the time to take us through the horrible events of 9/11 and how it impacted family and friends and New Yorkers as a whole. Ray also made us understand how resilient NewYorkers were when the event occurred and how they came together to overcome that terrible day. The memorial site itself was intense and somber.

The guide Jaclyn was fabulous. She was passionate about her subject, very patient and thorough in her presentation. Jaclyn took a personal interest in us.

This private tour was the most moving and memorable tour I've ever taken. It's a must do when in NYC. Ray (our tour guide) did an excellent job of telling his own personal stories about 9/11 as well as telling often untold stories about heroism. He was knowledgeable about 9/11 facts, about NYC history and about the need for constant vigilance going forward. This tour was personal, impactful and unforgettable. The museum was unforgettable as well. Situated below where the South Tour stood, it includes the footers from the South Tower that still remain. It's a deeply moving and reverent experience. One of the docents there (Peter) described how he was just 20 stories below where the first plane struck. We were moved to tears as he told his story. And in spite of having many visitors, the museum is almost silent. A profound sign of respect. I was in a group of four friends and I feel I can speak for the group in saying we cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Thank-you Ray and God Bless you and your family.
