Very informative even for NYers! - Our tour guide Katherine was fantastic! She was very engaging and really tried to tailor the tour toward our interests once we got going. She supplemented her stories with pictures, which added some great context. The tour of ground zero was very moving and her personal experience of 9/11 as a NY resident added a very interesting perspective. It's clear that she genuinely enjoys giving tours and I would go on a tour with her again in a heartbeat. I work in lower Manhattan and I still learned a ton - definitely worth it!

Superb description of St. Paul's Chapel; history of the "Big Fire". In depth description of the Oculus' architecture. - Ashley's guiding was absolutely outstanding. She's quite well informed. Energetic; enthusiastic; well mannered; interesting person, as well. She seems to know her subject matter cold. My grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed the time she spent with us. Ashley made the tour most worthwhile in every aspect.
