We all (7 of us) enjoyed the tour with David who was an excellent and well informed guide. A memorable and special part of our trip to New York. The only muddle was at the end when he left us in the queue for the One World Trade Centre unnecessarily and he didn’t realise that we were showing the wrong tickets, however it was sorted out and we had a great time.

This was a tour by accident really. We purchased our tickets online but somehow chose a tour that was different to the one we thought we were getting. Ceaser, our guide, walked us through not just the Ground Zero Memorial but a host of interesting stories and facts of early New York City history as we made our way from Battery Park to the memorial. Fun and informative it was terrific to get a feel for the whole lower financial district.

Alles war toll. Interessante Infos über New York (Geschichte und wichtige Erkundungspunkte) erfahren. Ground Zero war sehr beeindruckend und der Blick über New York vom World Trade Center war atemberaubend. Waren zeitweise von Wolken umgeben und haben nix gesehen. Irre.
