| We are from Amsterdam, came with sun of 13 years, very impressive small museum which gave a great impression of the things happened at 9/11 and the period thereafter. Strongly recommended. Takes about 1,5 hours without a moment of boring. |

| We were fortunate to have the Photographer there, who gave a more personal touch to the stories behind the pictures. It is "a dimond in the ruff "as they say. It is a much needed shelter for family members to heal, to remember, to share, and a more positive way for those of us who need to know what it was like to help carry the load. It was an emotional highlight. Thank you. |

| It was suggested to us to visit the museum before going to ground zero, so this is what we did. The stories told were heartfelt, informational, and was done in a very tasteful manner. It helped to experience the museum first so when you got to ground zero, you could better understand what took place there. There were so many stories told about so many people, even the dogs used in the rescue efforts had stories. It was an amazing witness to 9-11 and the aftermath. The artifacts collected were neat , as well, especially the page from the Bible. It was great to be able to view all these things on display. The photography was awesome. |

| I brought my 18 yr old nephew to New York City for the weekend, as a gift to him for making Eagle Scout. This was the first, and most important of our expereiences while in New York. We were very lucky to be in the tour that Gary led and it was a very moving, very meaningful experience. This truly brought 9/11 up come and personal and made us appreciate even more the firefighters, police officiers, rescue personnel and all others involved in this horrific incident for the USA. I will recomment this to everyone I know who ventures to New York City, whatever their purpose -- they MUST take time out and go to this museum. My sister and I are planning our 3rd seasonal trip to NYC this spring (to date, we have made the summer trip, 2003; our winter trip, 2005 and now the spring trip will be 2008). The VERY first thing i will plan on the iteniary will be this museum! Thank you Gary for making this the best and most personal thing to do in NYC -- a must see for every Amercian citizen -- WE WILL NEVER! FORGET Bee Shelton, Kingsport Tn |

| I wasn't sure what to expect and taking a 10 and a 13 yr old I was a bit nervous. I needn't have worried, all of us were captivated by Gary's stories and recollections of events you couldn't begin to imagine. It was emotional but never mawkish or maudlin. Our children have always been interested in the 9/11 story and the museum really brought it home to them that it was real and not just a film on TV in a way that the Ground Zero site itself never could have. Its hard to describe the visit as a highlight of our holiday but it was definitely one of the most memorable.

| This museum was set up in a way to display only the photographer's photos and the few stories he obtained. It felt more of a show of his work only than about the WTC. More about the WTC before, the acts of terrorism, and the rebuilding would have helped to round out the museum. |

| This tour was one of the best (in fact only) private tour I've ever taken. To be able to see the devastation that this took on that day was mind blowing. You get to see and feel the heartache and pain each rescue worker endoured during the recovery process. It really brings you up close and almost there because you actually get to listen to the audio associated with each piece of artifact and picture in the museum. To be able to actualIy hold atrifacts from that day was very rewarding for me. The pictures, along with audio really pulls at your heart, to have an understanding of the rescue efforts made by all who participated. It will make you feel something in your heart that you will NEVER forget. YOU need to take this tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| The biggest little museum in NYC.
No visit to New York should exclude this touching poignant tour honoring the fallen and the men who are keeping their memory alive.
Gary Suson personally took the tour, we were very suprised and honored, his humility was refreshing, his stories left tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. The setting is elegant and not in the least bit sensational, very well executed and easy to navigate around with the personal tourguide in the form of earphones. This made it easy to tailor make the tour. We were a group of 7, 4 of which were teenagers, each had their own "story to tell", each one had an image that stuck out and spoke to them.
All our party left with a different view of the tragedy, the aftermath and the human suffering as seen through the amazing lens of Garys camera.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour, the world will never be the same again and this tribute and the images Gary so beautifully captured for the world to see, need to be seen............ |
