A honorable tribute - Jim Q. was a truly wonderful guide and storyteller. His firsthand account of his actual experience that fateful morning brought the event even more into focus for us. He obviously cares deeply about honoring those who sacrificed on 9/11. Being a guide is much, much more that just a job to Jim Quinn and we feel very fortunate to have been blessed with his care and attention on our first visit to the 9/11 Memorial.

Personal stories of 911 - Paul Kelly was a great guide. I learned so much more than I would have by just walking around. He had lots of personal stories to share and asked/listened to our stories of that day as well. Highly recommend.

Memorable Day - While most of us experienced 9/11 in our own way, having the experience detailed for us by our private guide made this a memorable day. Rob Maass was our guide who took time to describe for us everything we saw during our tour and shared his own thoughts. Our tickets with him helped us "skip the line" for the Museum, giving us extra time to explore. Worth every penny, we highly recommend this tour and Rob!
