Customer

Dana is a wonderful tour director. She's knowledgeable and personable while also being engaging. I recently took her Ground Zero 9-11 walking tour and I'm so glad I did.
She showed areas I wouldn't have known to check out or the history of the area pre-9/11. If you're in NYC, I suggest a tour with her!
