We were debating whether to pay for a guided tour, or just go and check it out alone. My wife was more hesitant than I was to do the guide, but half way through she told me “thank you for doing it this way”! Not often does she admit I was right, so I memorized her statement! Haha
Anyway, our guide was Ibeth, and she was the best ever. She had just moved to NYC a few months before 9/11, and to get the viewpoint of someone that lived it was enhanced by someone that moved here from Puerto Rico. The emotion, passion and wonderment comes through with every step.
We went with our 12 year old son, he was involved the entire time. As we explained some things to him, it brought back the emotions from that day.
Do yourself a favor, book the tour and be prepared to have all those feelings come back over you.
Other than the Yankee game, the best money we spent.
Thank you Ibeth for a wonderful tour.
