| Non political. About the rescue effort and following year, Not about the event. Artistic. Sensitive. Extremely well done. Meet the ONLY photographer who was allowed into Ground Zero. |

| On the day we visited ( Sunday 2 Dec 2007) we were fortunate to have Gary Suson head up our tour. The room was smaller than I imagined but so much information and emotion came over during our time there. The tour was due to last 1.5 hours but 2 hours later we were still there. The pictures, audio comentary and artefacts that you're allowed to hold or see tell you so much you might never have known. Gary freely talked to us about his role as photographer and it's clear to see the whole experience has taken its toll but the results of his work are amazing. We'd already been to the ground zero site the day before and it wasn't at all what I expected. However this museum and Gary explained so many things and makes us feel that people will never forget the heroes of 9/11 as long as this museum is there. It's not on the normal "tourist" routes but well worth your time off the beaten track. |

| We loved the museum. There is and will be no other like it. It is very tasteful and respectful to all that were involved in the disaster. If you have even begun to forget, this is a must for all. I thank Gary for the love it took to create a place to think and remember the days of and following the bombings. He was also very kind to talk to us, since we were so very lucky to meet him. |

| I have wanted to do something and know more of how to pray for the families and friends of victims. This was a wonderful tribute to our fallen heros and has given me a history lesson and a reminder of how good Americans are - deep down inside. The reverence provided to the victims, the support to the families, the memories shared all were done very tastefully and respectful of those gone and those remaining. I highly recommend this. it's an intimate setting where you can remember and not be jostled and shoved around as you are on the streets and in tourist attractions! REMEMBER and take you kids (recommend 9 or older) and tell them of the day we were attacked. |

| We were lucky to have Gary Marlon Suson introduce the tour. He and Lou (the other FDNY fire fighter that hosted the tour that day) were very personable and willing to answer any and all questions. It's an intimate experience, and I'm glad they're keeping it that way. It was powerful to hear the various stories, see the artifacts, and remember the events of 9/11 and the years of recovery that have followed.
Would publicze to future participants that this tour does NOT actually involve a visit to Ground Zero.
Thanks. We enjoyed and appreciated the experience. |

| This tour was put together with an amazing amount of respect towards the families and victims. There is nothing else like this. I was moved by the pictures, artifacts, and stories. I want to go back to see and hear more. I HIGHLY recommend this!! |

| I thought I could not get any more emotiaonal than when I saw the attacks live on the news but this was an intensely emotional experience but not all of it sad.There were some humourous situations as well as the tough,sad,and depressing. The tour guide was actually Gary himself and I think this helped because everything he showed or explained he had experienced first hand. When I initially entered the room I thought how are we going to pass 1.5 hrs here but the truth is I could have sat there for a lot longer than the 2.25 hrs I did and not noticed the time going.
If you want to feel like part of a piece of history (sad though that piece is) this tour will do that for you.
I wanted to take all the exhibits with me and when I return to New York I will probably take this tour again and again.

| If you have any feelings for the events of 9/11, whether it be curiosity, involvement, passion, questions you need answered, then this experience will appeal to you. Touted as the biggest smallest museum in the world, it is just that, a simple room but filled with more stories and artifacts than time will allow you to fully grasp. This experience will reduce you to tears. It certainly did each person in the room with me. Touching actual pieces of the towers, listening to stories which accompany each of Gary Suson's brilliant photographs, all overwhelming experiences. Had the pleasure of meeting Gary on my visit and he was entertaining and humble, a pure gentleman. I highly recommend a visit to this museum when next in NYC. I know I will be returning. I went before we ventured to the site itself and feel better for the experience. |

| We thought the musem was very interesting and very well put together. The two people who spoke at the beginning of the tour were very knowlegable and made it a very relaxed tour.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the events of 9/11 |
