The walking tour was great , Andrew was very interesting to listen to and struck the right balance of being entertaining while still respecting the events of 911 , he shared his own experiences of the day and spoke clearly and loud enough we could all hear

Our tour guide Chris was a wealth of knowledge. Made our experience amazing. He pointed out things to us we knew nothing about. Very educational. Took the time with our group so we could thoroughly enjoy the experience
