Paul is amazing! - The 9/11 tour with Paul was second to none. Having a guide who had first hand experience that day makes all the difference in the world. For such a somber subject matter, he told it with passion and love for his city and a great perspective of something everyone 35+ has a vivid memory of. Worth every penny. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent tour with personal recollections - would 100% recommend - Our tour guide Tim was fantastic, as a home-grown New Yorker he was able to give us a personal insight into his own experience and those of his family which really enriched the tour. Tim was very informative, engaging and patient. Overall, we learned a lot and would recommend the tour to others in the future.

Davidson’s A+ 9/11 Memorial Tour - My daughter and I joined Davidson on his engaging and informative 9/11 Memorial and Museum Insider Tour. His overview of the memorial was well prepared without feeling scripted. His presented historical context of the pre-9/11 site and shared many details about the attack, the aftermath of the attack, and construction of the memorial. Davidson superbly managed navigation of our group on a busy tour day all while conveying information in a pleasant and audible style. — If you are fortunate to be included in Davidson’s tour you will not be disappointed. HIGHLY recommend based on Davidson’s command of the subject, easy check-in process, and pace of tour.

9/11 Memorial and financial district - Ray, was our tour guide for the 9/11 and financial district. He is a true New Yorker, that shared with us all the story behind about buildings in the financial district. He gave us I sites about the 9/11 event as a witness of what has happened. This is one of the unforgettable memories.

You can see this on your own but it is so much better with a good guide - David our tour guide was excellent although he had to explain the terrible events that that happened he put a positive spin on things explaining the stories of brave people on that day and how everybody has worked together since to make what we see today. He also told us about the significance of the white roses at the pools and read us obituaries of those people ( a very moving experience) This is by far the tour I would recommend anyone coming to New York to take as it reminds us that evil can never prevail.
