The guide was knowledgeable, but gave us more history of NY architecture than details regarding 9:11 — interesting and pleasant, but we bought a 9/11 tour.

Visit St. Paul's Chapel, which survived the attacks and became a place of hope for families searching for loved ones, and stop by the nearby fire station memorial dedicated to the bravery of first responders.

Ray R was a great guide. The 1.5 hour tour was full of great info. Worth the time and money. Brian from the lone star state
Was my number 1 thing on my list to do when I visited NYC this place is a must and is absolutely incredibly well done.
Tour included guide on headsets. Was extremely knowledgeable very eye opening if sombre experience
The lady we had was very nice, but unfortunately that was the only positive part of this experience. I paid for tickets that were never provided to me, and when I contacted customer service, they refused to issue a refund or take responsibility for the mistake. This ended up wasting an entire day of our trip, and to make matters worse, I had to purchase tickets a second time just to enter the memorial. Paying twice for the same attraction is completely unacceptable. Save yourself the frustration, time, and money and book elsewhere.

Weather was not good which made the walk less enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the weather did not cooperate during your visit, as we understand it can definitely affect the overall walking experience. We still hope you were able to enjoy the meaningful history and atmosphere of the Ground Zero Memorial. Thank you for joining the tour, and we hope to welcome you again in better weather conditions for an even more enjoyable experience.
The experience did not happen at all and no one told us. And no one ever reached out to explain. We will never use Viator again.
The tour guide was at 24 state street waiting and you never checked in
Vivian our tour guide was EXCELLENT! Very knowledgeable and personable. We loved having her as our guide. She knew detailed information that was very interesting. Thank you Vivian!
We’re thrilled to hear that Vivian made your tour so enjoyable with her knowledge and personable style. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her — she’ll be delighted! We’d love to welcome you back for another memorable tour soon.
It was the worst tour we've ever booked through Viator. We waited 45 minutes and our guide never showed up. It was so disappointing. we missed the 911 memorial experience. I will be requesting a refund
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment you experienced. We understand how important your visit was, especially to the 9/11 Memorial, and we deeply regret that your guide did not show up as planned. This is certainly not the standard we strive to uphold, and we are actively looking into what happened to ensure it doesn’t occur again.
Visiting the 9/11 Memorial is one of those experiences that stays with you. It’s peaceful, powerful and deeply moving all at once. The design of the fountains those endless streams of water flowing into the footprints of the towers captures something words can’t really describe. It’s both heartbreaking and beautiful. Walking through the museum, you can feel how much care and respect went into preserving the stories of that day. It’s emotional, yes, but it’s also grounding a reminder of the strength and compassion that came out of such tragedy. The space itself is spotless and well-maintained, and the staff are kind and thoughtful. I’d say it’s a must visit for anyone coming to New York, not as a tourist stop, but as a place to pause, reflect, and remember.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and moving words. We're truly honored that your visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum left such a meaningful impression on you. You captured the spirit of the place so beautifully — peaceful, powerful, and deeply moving. The design of the Memorial was intended to create space for reflection, remembrance, and healing, and we're grateful that it resonated with you in such a profound way. We’re also glad to hear that you felt the care taken in preserving the stories within the museum, as well as the respect shown by our staff. Your recognition means a great deal to us. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience — and for encouraging others to visit not just as tourists, but as witnesses to a powerful part of our shared history.
