Informative, genuine and impactful. - Informative, friendly and knowledgeable. Felt like we heard some real stories and I had a tear at one story. Jonathan was our guide, knew his stuff and gave us some insight into how it has been remembered, the impact on the area and the world, and also the personal stories. Brilliant tour!

Informative and moving tour of 9/11 Ground Zero. - I recently took the 9/11 Ground Zero tour, and I can't say enough about the exceptional job our tour guide did! From start to finish, the experience was both deeply moving and incredibly informative. Our guide Jonathan approached this sensitive subject with the utmost respect, compassion, and knowledge. My 11-year-old granddaughter said it was one of the highlights of her trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York City!

An absolute must - I wasn't sure if I necessarily needed a tour to visit the 9/11 memorial, but I was wrong. This was such a highlight of my trip. Even though it was only 1.5 hours, I learned so much about that event that took me on a roller-coaster of emotions. I believe that the tour guide, Nate, was the heart of the tour and made it special. He was so genuine, articulate, knowledgeable, and kept the tour at a perfect pace. You will be so lucky to have him as your guide.

9/11 walking tour was amazing - Jonathan was amazing on the tour. The way the tour was designed allowed us to find out a lot out the memorial and the surrounding area. Jonathan allowed time for questions from the group and his descriptions made everything easy to follow.

Highly recommended - Booking, info, finding the meeting place without any problems. Jonathan, our guide was very friendly, informed us in very good English about the terrible day and its consequences very well. There were always goose bumps. Tour duration was 90 minutes that flew by. Highly recommended! Museum is not included.
