Fantastic Tour - a “must do!” - Alice, our tour guide, did an amazing job. She connected well with her diverse audience, was super knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, sensitive to the needs of the group and appropriately funny. I have been on many tours in my life and I am pleased to say she is the BEST tour guide I have ever had. This was an amazing tour (days later I am still processing some of the information that was shared) - worth every penny.

Great Tour and Tourguide - Our young family had a great time with Rob. He gave both factual and personal information on the events of 9-11 and tailored a bit for our kids ( ages 8 and 11). We haven’t been back to NYC in 6-7 years and still the tour was informative! Would definitely recommend for first timers as well. By the way, our 11 year old son said it was his favorite part of our NYC visit!

9/11 Tour - Really great tour and very emotional. Rob was an excellent tour guy and was very knowledgeable. He also was very funny and seems to be very passionate about NYC and 9/11. Overall, cannot recommend this enough.

Views from top of Manhattan - Incredible views and time to appreciate the power of rebuilding and resilience. The cost is a bit excessive as with most attractions in the area.

Over the top - It was amazing experience that you can see the entire New York city in just few minutes. Going to the top of 101 floors or over a thousand feet high tower in just 47 seconds is breath taking experience.
