Excellent! - Jonathon was the perfect guide - he went at a lovely pace. We started at St Paul’s Church and made our way through all the new buildings. Jonathon explained the significance of little details of all the new buildings, told us anecdotal stories of those who survived and those who were so brave and lost their lives. Would highly recommend.

Excellent guided walking tour of 9/11 Ground Zero - It was an excellent experience to have the 9/11 Ground Zero Walking Tour along with our guide Jonathan Mannato from Metropolis Tour. We visited there in April 2025 and weather was sunny and nice. We enjoyed the whole tour, choice of content, presentation and details. It gave us a pretty good understanding of the different buildings around, it's story and people connected to it. I/we will highly recommend this tour! Nice experience!

Wonderful tour guide - Jonathan’s tour was so engaging and interesting. The 9/11 memorial tour will now be etched in our memories forever, Jonathan gave great insight and knowledge about the area and the events on 9/11. Despite this being a sad event in history, Jonathan brought great humour and fun specifically when talking about some of the architecture and history. Highly recommended!

Very good - gladly again:-) - Everything worked out great! Communication also worked wonderfully. The tour guide Jonathan led with a lot of joy and empathy through the 9/11 tour. With us, this tour as a family with two children was definitely worth it and we learned a lot despite our knowledge of this tragic incident. The time was even a bit short for what we saw in my opinion. We would definitely recommend it.
