We were incredibly moved and emotional. You saw people, but never heard them. I'm struggling to find the words to describe this very sombre experience - a tribute to the real spirit of New York - to all who died in 9/11. Those names on the wall, all the photos of the deceased, a box of tissues on a bench... More

Af first we thought that the museum was quite small. However, after a heartfelt introduction by the host we toured the room listening to the commentary, via the headphones, about each photograph and exhibit by the official photographer himself. The fact that you were effectively in a private world listening to someone who had such a close relationship with the... More

We took a 2 hour walking tour, very interesting and sobering. We were here in November 2001, so were very interested in seeing the new World Trade Center area. Well done.

The location is an apartment in the Meat Packing district. Easy to get to via 14th Street subway. Our tour consisted of 12 people and lasted 2hrs. You are greeted at your appointed time at the entrance by your host. Inside you are seated with your 'tour mate' a hand held device that provides audio commentary for the exhibits and... More

We took the tour, which was something that will remain permanently in our memories. Our tour guide was excellent and he was the only fire fighter in his unit that day who survived. His story and the entire experience were indeed special and heartwarming. This tour is not to be missed!

This is a must see memorial when in NYC. It is a somber reflection of the lives lost, but also an inspiration of renewal.

We made our reservations for a specific tour a couple months in advance. The Tour Leaders are all "first responders," police or fire leaders there on 9/11 or even family members who lost a loved one. Their stories made our entire trip so memorable.
