We were a family of 4 with two kids, ages 11 and 14. Daniel gave us firsthand insight into the sights, sounds and emotions of that horrible day. I loved the personal aspect as it really helped our children connect and understand, as best they can, an event that we should never forget.

Ray was one of the best tour guides we have ever had in any city. He made the tour incredibly personal and relatable, sharing his experience as a native New Yorker working in Manhattan that day. It was really interesting, and very moving, to hear someone's experience first hand.
