The 9/11 experience was great but only after I paid for it a second time at the venue. The tour company "Headout" are total scammers. The guide never showed up for our 3pm tour and despite giving them proof that we were at the meeting point 35 mins before the due time they said we were a no show and refused me a refund. They also said 5 other people never showed up. I came to USA from Ireland specifically to visit the 9/11 memorial so why on earth would I not show up after paying 210 dollars. I would advise everyone to use a more reputable company to book your tours and avoid Headout.

Wow! What a fabulous experience. We booked the 911 museum with an added 90 Min group tour. We had Tim M as our guide & he was so informative, lots of stories & added information. He really bought the tour to light & kept it very interesting taking added care not to keep us out in the cold for too long.
