Jon was incredible and provided our group with a wonderful tour. He is very personable, and knowledgeable on the topic. Matter of fact, you can tell he’s very passionate about it. I would recommend his tours to anyone. It was an amazing part of our day and I am grateful for Jon’s time and incredible service during our tour. 10/10 recommend.

Another outstanding tour with Jon! He is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, making complex and emotional topics accessible and respectful. I learned so much more about 9/11 than I ever expected, and his thoughtful storytelling brought the history to life. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of that day and its lasting impact.

Jon knows everything. A very interesting and detailed tour. We will definitely recommend this. If we come back to NY we will find other guided tours with Guru Walks.

I absolutely recommend this tour! Interesting, comprehensive, full of information that we did not expect! Small breaks made the tour non-committal. Guide always ready to answer our questions, congratulations!

This is a phenomenal tour, a must do in NYC! John has studied this topic in detail and delivers a thrilling tour that includes fascinating facts, details about what happened on 9/11, but also how it affected the USA afterwards, debunking/discussing conspiracy theories, and also tells stories of people who were affected on this day and the people who are the heroes of this tragic event. The tour is fascinating!

Thoroughly enjoyed my tour this morning with Jon. He was very entertaining and interesting and kept me hooked throughout the tour. He is a bank of knowledge and knew so much about every aspect of the tour. Any question you ask, he can answer with detail. Highly recommend Jon if you plan on joining any walking tour around NYC

Jon is very knowledgeable about the history of 9/11. I could feel firsthand how an entire country felt during an attack of that magnitude, where so many lives were lost! Plus, Jon has a lot of energy and his tour is very entertaining. A bonus: Jon takes great photos gives excellent local restaurant recommendations! I would relive the experience with City Shuffles
