Walking tour was very informative. Arun, our guide was very knowledgeable. Museum tour (self-guided) was emotional and really brought the whole event closer to those of us on the west coast that watched all the events enfold on TV. So sad to relive from the photos, videos with voices and pieces of metal beams, rescue vehicles, etc.
