Tim - Private tour - outstanding !! - Tim was an outstanding host, and we mean truly outstanding. He was so informative and gave us a really valuable insight into what happened on that terrible day and what it felt like to be a New Yorker and there. We learnt far more than we would ever have pick up by reading things and looking at pictures. The museum offers this and is great too but for us .. our Tim with Tim around ground zero trumped everything. He was funny, articulate and passionate about his city. Book Tim for private tour .. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. Leagh and Ryan
