5.00I loved this tour! Our guide, Deby, was amazing! She was very knowlegeble and really funny. It was a very interactive tour through financial district and 9/11 memorial at world trade centre. The world trade centre was the best part part of the tour. It was very touching and emotional. The whole tour had an even greater impact, when Deby shared her personal expierence on 9/11. I would highly recommend this tour, with Deby as your guide.
