Bring tissue, I love how New Yorkers love thier city and each other. The experience really touched my heart. Debbie has so much information and I love that Debbie carries her IPad to show pictures.
We truly appreciate the time that you've taken to review your tour experience. You're right about New Yorkers. As a whole we DO take pride in our City and we strive to protect and preserve its many fine attributes. Although the whole world was impacted by the horrors of 9/11, NYC was particularly hard hit. The journey down Memory Lane can be an emotional one especially as our 9/11 tours are designed to cover many of the details that too often tend to fade over time. We are elated to know that you enjoyed your tour albeit an emotional experience. Should you revisit the Big Apple we hope that you'll look to us for another tour experience. We were honored to have you with us and would be delighted to serve you again. From our family to yours we wish you all the best!

I loved this tour! Our guide, Deby, was amazing! She was very knowlegeble and really funny. It was a very interactive tour through financial district and 9/11 memorial at world trade centre. The world trade centre was the best part part of the tour. It was very touching and emotional. The whole tour had an even greater impact, when Deby shared her personal expierence on 9/11. I would highly recommend this tour, with Deby as your guide.
