This was a great tour! It was mostly outside of the trade center area. Our tour guide Tony was very knowledgeable and friendly. I felt like there really wasn’t a lot of time for pictures but maybe if we had stopped to take pictures he would have waited for us. Took about 75 mins but that might be because there weren’t a ton of questions. I strongly recommend it!

No waiting in line! Once past security it’s easy to navigate the museum. An absolutely beautiful and moving tribute to our fallen. Museum was clean and staff was friendly.

We had a lovely morning, I took my 2 teenage sons and they were very interested. There was so much to see and learn about very informative.

Quite harrowing but it was an honour to visit. It's my second visit and I would certainly visit again.

Make sure you have plenty of time and see everything.
