9/11 Museum Amazing Experience
This was an amazing experience for both myself & my husband (9/11 Survivor). From the reflecting pools to the museum, all done with such care and so detailed. For my husband, it brought back so many memories & emotions (good & bad). I think everyone should plan a trip to come here. Take time to go to all the exhibits and plan to spend most of the day. I hope to visit again.

Don't sleep on this tour
NYC Grant Central Station Secrets tour was excellent. Tour guide was informative and as a life long New Yorker, offered fun facts. Saw so many things that you would walk right past. We really want to see the Tennis Courts and got to take a peek. It was the perfect amount of time. Great for new visitors and Cool New York Citys who have been to NYC many times. Very Knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Easy to meet up and price was also reasonable

Alexis was amazing
We were lucky to have Alexis as our guide, she was informative, funny and talented. When she sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Statue of Liberty it was an amazing experience. I have lived on Long Island my entire life, and had never done this trip. So glad we did, the weather was perfect and it was great seeing Manhattan in a whole new way.

Really enjoyed the tour
I was very lucky as it was a warm and sunny September day. Michael, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and presented this in a very funny and witty manner. Did the 1 1/2 h tour due to some time constraints on my part. Would happily do the longer tour as the longer tour is supposed to take you all around Manhattan.
