Ground Zero Walking Tour - If I’m honest I didn’t know what to expect….but Jim Q explained clearly and most of all passionately those terrible events on 9/11. I really felt what it was like to be around Manhattan in the days and weeks after that horrible day. Jim Q was an eloquent and engaging guide. Thanks Jim.
