Heartbreaking but incredible - You can’t help but feel sad being on this tour, but it’s so well done and the history and information that’s available is amazing. It’s almost a surreal feeling being at ground zero. One of the greatest things I’ve done in my life. We will always remember…

Great tour! - Experience was great… started on time (even a little early since full group was there). Marcus was awesome… very knowledgeable, moved at a good pace for the group, and showed us some interesting insights that you would get from reading books. Family after we loved this tour!

Put on your running shoes!! - Learned a great deal about 9/11 and our tour guide was amazing!!! It was a bit too fast paced and there should have been at least one break an hour in to catch your breath but would do it again! Just have to be a little more in shape next time!!
