| Thank you so much for providing this museum. To actually hold a cross and a star of David, made from the steel from Ground Zero was a reminder that God will continue to be with the victims' families and with our nation. I will always pray for the families of the victims as well as for the fire and police department and other workers at Ground Zero. The photographs are so well done and each audio was a moving experience. Thank you, Mr. Suson for your dedication in using your talents for an important museum.... Lest we forget. |

| This tour was by appointment/reservation only and it was in a small group setting (15 or so people). It was very respectful and very tastefully done. There was an emphasis on healing, which we greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. |

| If you want the full impact of the events of 9/11, this is the place to go. Our entire family went, and everyone got something out of it. Highly recommended! |

| I was fortunate enough to attend on a day that Gary was present himself, and it was fascinating to speak with him and hear first-hand about his experiences in the recovery effort at Ground Zero. His story is heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. I learned so much from my two hours here about the aftermath of 911, and the incredible efforts made by the recovery workers. It was truly inspiring to hear the stories of these people and to understand first-hand what happened in the months following 9-11. I moved beyond words by some of the photographs taken by Gary during those months and being able to see some of the artifacts was amazing. I highly recommend attending this workshop to gain a real understanding of the recovery efforts. The venue is small and intimate and unlike any other museum I have ever been in. This gives the participant a real sense of being in the midst of the recovery scene and provides a hands-on look at what is required to come out the other side of such a tragic event. I was mesmerized by the stories of these workers at Ground Zero. |

| 9/11 is a big and personal event. Your museum allowed me to process the experience how I wanted in an intimate setting. |

| We just spent a week in NYC and this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Being from California, we only experienced 9/11 from afar through the media, but this museum/workshop made the event very significant and personal to our entire family (we have two teenaged children). Even though costly, it is well worth the price, and a part of the proceeds does go to victims' families. Our tour guide was superb and the museum itself is top notch. Don't miss this if you are in NYC. |

| I didn't expect to see so much from behind the scenes. I had no idea about the damaged building across the street, the one the insurance companies wouldn't let any one go into for so long, or the subway track under the WTC. Its wonderful how everyone pulled together. I was only surprised that the tour didn't end at the sight, but when our tour was over and we went to ground zero I understood more as to why. |

Tour Location : You stay in the building (You DO NOT visit Ground Zero on the tour)
Restroom : Yes
Having read recent customer reviews, my sister and I decided to book this tour to see the up-close-and-personal photos/artefacts following the atrocities on 9/11.
What followed was emotional. After being greeted by the guide (usually a person who was there that day) you are invited to watch an interview with Gary Marlon Suson (the OFFICIAL photographer at Ground Zero) and then a montage of photos dubbed over with actual phone/radio chatter from that fateful day.
After this you are given your own personal electronic 'story-teller'. All around the room are photos taken by Gary and arfefacts from Ground Zero, each has a number, you tap the number in your 'story-teller' and a clip of Gary himself telling you the inside story of that piece.
You are actually allowed to hold certain pieces frowm Ground Zero, this allows you to have some sort of connection.
This is a very well put together workshop, and any money made from sales of books/posters/cards will be shared among the victim's families.
There is no rush to get round and listen to every story of every picture/artefact as you can easily get round before the next tour starts.
Our tour guide was Lou (who volunteers at the church across the street from Ground Zero, St Paul's I think - another must see) and Gary Suson was also there to give an introduction.
All-in-all this is a must see workshop if you want to see photos that have never been seen in public. |
