Great tour! - We were originally scheduled for this tour at 1:00 but our previous tour ran late. Viator graciously allowed us to join the 3:00 tour. This tour is very informative about the history of the area and how it looks different today. This is the 2nd tour I’ve done of the 9/11 story and I learned something new!

Excellent tour even in the freezing cold! - Our tour guide, Jaclyn, was outstanding!! It was a cold day with frigid windchills. She gifted us all hand warmers that were a welcomed comfort. Jaclyn guided us through ground zero sharing many interesting facts and stories. We only had time for the 90 minute walking tour and spent a little over an hour in One World Observatory. The sky was clear blue and you could see forever. I look forward to going back and spending more time walking around the reflecting pools and visiting the museum. Excellent tour!

Eye opening - Maya, our guide, was amazing. She had a great spirit and truly enjoys what she does. Maya obviously had a personal connection and memories attached to this tour but that just makes her more passionate about sharing this experience with everyone

So glad we did this! - An awesome tour. The guide was wonderful and had such passion for sharing what happened on 9/11 and what has happened since, providing first hand experience as someone who lived and is living in NYC. We learned so much that we didn't know and would 100% recommend.

9-11 tour with Alice - Very powerful. Alice was an exceptional guide. She was very patient with a fairly “opinionated “ young man. The stories she shared were so touching.

Talk only tour - We asked for the 911 tour with optional tickets to the tower we never got tickets to the 9/11 tour that part was simply someone outside talking to us about some of the things that happened and they gave us tickets to the observation tower even though it said optional and did not give us tickets to the 911 memorial And I was very generic presentation and certainly not worth the price for what we got
