The 9/11 Memorial Full Story Tour.

This is the most detailed and thorough tour about the events of 9/11, both in discussing everything that happened as well as covering the memorial.

Primarily, it is about the greatest American heroes of our lifetime who rose to the challenge of the day. But with its extended time, I'll also be able to answer what you may want to know about the structural damage, the actual death toll, the clean up process, and the many conspiracies & currently unanswered questions about that day.

As a guide, I've been researching 9/11 for 10 years now, being only 13 years old when it occurred. Like many of my guests, my world changed that day.  But some of you may never know the world that got left behind. I hope that this tour brings context to you for what has changed for Americans.

Please don't hesitate to ask anything you want to know and I will answer sincerely and factually, no questions are off limits. Images and video on a large iPad screen will be presented. Graphic images can be shown at your discretion.

Take a walking tour of Central Park, starting at the South end of the park and ending at the Dakota Apartments, where John Lennon lived.   We will see key landmarks in the part including Bethesda Terrace fountain, numerous statues, Strawberry Fields, the Boathouse and the Sheep Meadow.   The pace will be leisurely with plenty of opportunities for memorable photos and convenient rest room breaks.   My aim is to give you a fun experience, with some information added, but not a history lesson.   There won't be a test at the end of the tour, just good times!
