Must do in NYC!
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!

Best experience
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
