| I thought the Museum was great. The tour guide was very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere felt very personal compared to big museums you can go to. I liked the fact that you could work round the museum at your own pace and listen to the stories in the order you wanted. |

| What I liked about this 'museum' was that even though you are a part of a group tour it is very much an individual experience. You are left alone with your thoughts as you listen to the individual stories that the pictures and artefacts in the museum tell.
Peaceful, emotionally confronting and private. Exactly the way a memorial to that day should be.
Setting up a museum about September 11 was never going to be an easy thing to do. I couldn't think of a better way to do it. Well done Gary. |

| i had pre-booked my tickets before my holiday and was a little unsure of what to expect, however, it was the most moving part of my trip. it's not glamourised in any way and you feel a small connection with what happened.
i cannot reccommend this any higher. |

| I had a friend visiting from Canada who was interested in getting to know the city intimately and learning more about Ground Zero. I had been on this tour myself and knew it is phenomenal, so got him a ticket. He had Carla as his guide and said that she was a great host - very friendly, knowledgeable and put him at ease right away. I think visiting this museum should be something that everyone living in New York or visiting New York should do at least once. It is a memorable experience and extremely well done. Thank you very much for your great work. |

| The presentation was very informative & the attendant very helpful. But be prepared for an emotional gut punch , you may need a few minutes after the presentation to gather yourself. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. |

| I thought that the workshop was truly thought provoking. I think that any and everybody that sees ground zero, should also attend this workshop. There were many things that I saw that were not in the news when this terrible event occurred.
This is our history and everybody should understand this event so that we do not forget it and so that it does not happen again.
Thank you for the insight and for all of the truly thought provoking facts of this terrible event that occurred over seven years ago.
We will never forget. |

| Visited the museum after seeing the Ground Zero site and visitors centre. Museum was well organised and the numbers in the group were just right. Guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and answered all questions asked.
The pictures are amazing telling very different stories and emotions.
Well worth a visit |

| This was a very good tour and the photos and videos were excellent. Part of the tour was very emotional especially the videos
It was great being able to discuss the photos with Gary who took the videos during the recovery effort at ground zero after the 9/11 attachs.
I would recommend this visit to everybody before they go to ground zero because yoget a better idea of the site and what happened during and after the attach. |
