Kevin was great! Knowledgeable, articulate who set the scene brilliantly with the right mix of historical detail and by relating many personal and human (and canine!) experiences. Two hours well spent. I would highly recommend this tour

Wonderful tour guide by “JF”, made the experience powerful and thoroughly informative. Recommend you allow plenty of time to take in the whole trip as there is a lot to appreciate.

Definitely glad we did this tour instead of just doing the memorial and museum on our own. It was so much more meaningful to hear all of the personal stories and see all of the different areas of Ground Zero affected by the events of Sept 11.
