Incredible World Trade Center & 9/11 Tour with Benjamin - My best friend and I recently took the World Trade Center tour with the 9/11 Museum & Observatory All-Access experience, and our guide, Benjamin, was exceptional from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the facts surrounding 9/11, and because he was living in New York City at the time, he brought a level of authenticity and credibility that you just can’t teach. Beyond his expertise, Benjamin is warm, personable, and easy to talk to. He consistently checked in with everyone in the group to make sure we were okay, especially given the emotional nature of the day. One of the men on our tour had lost his father—a firefighter—on 9/11, and Benjamin showed him such genuine empathy and compassion. It was truly moving to witness. Spending the day with Benjamin felt like being guided by someone we had known for years. He created a sense of comfort and connection that made the entire experience even more meaningful. For a day that is incredibly sad and devastating in American history, I wouldn't have wanted to be led through the tour by anyone else. Highly, highly recommend booking with him.

David was the BEST tour guide ever! - Such a must see! The tour was entirely outside walking around the World Trade Center complex. David explained everything in great details showing before, during and now photos. Explaining what happened, the first responders dilemmas and the unfolding of events. Gut wrenching. After his tour we then had access to the museum and One World Observation level . Great museum and the views were spectacular at the top! Highly highly recommend!

Insightful & Comprehensive 911 Memorial Experience - This tour was amazing and included details you would have never known or seen without Kevin’s passion and in-depth knowledge the 911 Memorial. Sharing some of his personal experiences on that day were impactful. If you are fortunate enough to have Kevin as your guide, put on your running shoes and listen to learn a lot!

Incredible tour with most amazing tour guide! - Having been to NYC before and visiting what was ground zero at the time, it was incredible to go back and be part of what my husband and I can only describe as an amazing tour. Jake was nothing short of fabulous! The knowledge, genuine stories and experiences and general heartfelt emotion and passion he gives to his tours is more than 5 stars. I would highly and I mean very highly encourage anyone to do this tour and maybe you’ll get lucky enough to have Jake as your guide!
