Perfect guide for this tour - Jonathan deserves a pay rise. What a brilliant guide. He couldn’t have done this tour any better if he tried. Our group was mainly foreign visitors and a lot of teenagers (school holidays in Europe right now) who obviously weren’t alive when 9/11 happened. He pitched his “story” just right. It didn’t get boring and preachy for those of us who remember it quite well and not too heavy with details for those who knew very little. I liked the start a little bit away from Ground Zero where he set the scene, then past the miraculous little survivor church onto Ground Zero. He was exceptionally respectful of where we were, but still managed to work in some humour when it was appropriate, which I think was important for such an important historical site. I also loved how he wasn’t just telling the story of 9/11, but showed a breadth of knowledge, explaining the history of the area before 2001 to help put so many things into perspective and help us understand a lot more about the area. Thank you for a great tour. You’re a real gem.

The most important tour we did in NY - Very humbling tour. Nathan our guide was superb and filled us in with so many facts we were unaware of. If you only do one tour whilst in New York, do this one!

Loved every moment of it!! - Jonathan made a big difference for me and my boys. His knowledge of the area and of the significant events of this sacred place was humbling and inspiring. As promised, Jonathan kept us in the shade throughout our walking tour on a very hot New York summers day. It was nice to meet a lovely lady from Sydney too!
