Jose was an excellent giide who shared with us many stories of pre 9/11 and beyond. He's VERY knowledgeable about the history before ( decades) and after. We were actually surprised to learn so much even about the architecture. He brought to our attention what you DON'T hear standing at the pools and significance of the WHY. The museum's significance stands on its own. We totally appreciated our almost 5 hour visit. For full appreciation, I would recommend high school age up. Just tried to upload some great photos - rejected- sorry...

Jim Quinn was very good at being our tour guide. It was good to hear a local person describing what 9-11 felt like. But your company did a horrible job directing us to the wrong meet-up location. Even though the tickets said to meet at the Ocullus, the email we received the day before the tour stated the meet-up location was St. Paul Chapel. Since the email was the last info sent, we went to the Chapel. When no one from your company showed up, we went to the Ocullus, barely making it there in time for the tour. You need to do a better job with communication. Just know that Jim Quinn was a 5-star tour guide but your company deserves a 1-star.
