Remembering that day was so moving, but the attention to every detail made us feel well-informed. We felt a sense of sorrow, and it kept us in a respectful silence.

As visitors from South Africa, we found the 9/11 Memorial truly touching. Seeing the names and standing by the reflecting pools made the tragedy feel deeply personal. The quiet, respectful atmosphere in the heart of the city is incredibly powerful. It’s an experience we will never forget.

The 9/11 experience was great but only after I paid for it a second time at the venue. The tour company "Headout" are total scammers. The guide never showed up for our 3pm tour and despite giving them proof that we were at the meeting point 35 mins before the due time they said we were a no show and refused me a refund. They also said 5 other people never showed up. I came to USA from Ireland specifically to visit the 9/11 memorial so why on earth would I not show up after paying 210 dollars. I would advise everyone to use a more reputable company to book your tours and avoid Headout.

I aspected a lot, but everything went over. The atmosphere was very intimate and intense. Everything is explained perfectly, and the exhibitions bring you really into the 9/11. Thank you for this amazing opportunity, I learned too many things
