We had an amazing tour with our guide Jim. Our introduction was a little unexpected when we told him were were from the UK and he said he didn't know where that was or what the UK, London, England was. He then asked another family (who were from Dallas) if they heard of these and then said "wait" "oh I remember, you ruled us!!!!" Then the laughter starter - you got us their Jim.
The whole tour was historically informative and we learned so much about the early beginnings of New York, the first settlers, the rise of the state & the big shots of NY over the centuries.
The 9/11 tour was very poignant, Jim took us right back to the day we watched in horror on TV and what unfolded thereon. I'm not going to describe what we covered on our visit because I encourage you take and experience the it yourself. This really is a 'must do' if visiting NY, worth every penny. We didn't opt for the 9/11 meseum but did visit it later that day and agin, do not miss this! artefacts of the attack were on displayed and really took us back to 9/11.
Jim was experienced, knowledgeable, funny and paced the tour very well. He answered questions and also gave his own experience of that harrowing day which really gave it a personal perspective from a NY resident.
