Jon was excellent! So much specific information about what happened and really made the experience meaningful. Powerful presentation! Highly recommend!,
Another outstanding tour with Jon! He is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, making complex and emotional topics accessible and respectful. I learned so much more about 9/11 than I ever expected, and his thoughtful storytelling brought the history to life. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of that day and its lasting impact.
Jon knows everything. A very interesting and detailed tour. We will definitely recommend this. If we come back to NY we will find other guided tours with Guru Walks.
This was the second walking tour we had done with Jon on our 4 days in NYC. Once again he was excellent. Very informative, entertaining and professional, highly recommend you won’t be disappointed
This is a phenomenal tour, a must do in NYC! John has studied this topic in detail and delivers a thrilling tour that includes fascinating facts, details about what happened on 9/11, but also how it affected the USA afterwards, debunking/discussing conspiracy theories, and also tells stories of people who were affected on this day and the people who are the heroes of this tragic event. The tour is fascinating!
Thoroughly enjoyed my tour this morning with Jon. He was very entertaining and interesting and kept me hooked throughout the tour. He is a bank of knowledge and knew so much about every aspect of the tour. Any question you ask, he can answer with detail. Highly recommend Jon if you plan on joining any walking tour around NYC
Jon is very knowledgeable about the history of 9/11. I could feel firsthand how an entire country felt during an attack of that magnitude, where so many lives were lost! Plus, Jon has a lot of energy and his tour is very entertaining. A bonus: Jon takes great photos gives excellent local restaurant recommendations! I would relive the experience with City Shuffles
It's one of the best tours we've ever been on. Jon also knows many personal stories about individual fates. An impressive description of the history of 9/11. Many thanks for the great tour.
Amazing 9/11 tour! Went into a lot of detail and explained everything to us, and took the time to show us where everything was and explain the new layout. 10/10!
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed a three person tour with Jon Noto around the 9/11 memorial site in January 2025. Despite the cold weather, we found this tour to be incredible! Jon holds a wealth of knowledge on the subject of 9/11 and the overarching sentiments of the locals at the time of the event. Having discovered Jon from a podcast on YouTube and realising his superior insights on the subject, we were eager to take this tour. Jon handled the retelling of events in a manner that made you feel like you were there, and with a great deal of empathy and tact. We were able to visit locations that we had not visited in our previous trips to New York and Jon pointed out many relics of 9/11 in the city that many would be unaware of. Jon also provided a safe and comfortable space for us to ask any questions we had which was a unique feature of the tour. His storytelling abilities were phenomenal! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you Jon for a highly memorable tour!
Very informative and interesting tour. Jon goes over the history in a lot of detail while delivering it in an interesting manner. He’ll answer all your questions as well. Highly recommend!
We had a great time with Jon on the tour. I highly recommend this experience. Jon was extremely knowledgeable, interesting, and enthusiastic! Thank you for a wonderful time!
Jon was an amazing tour guide. Would highly recommend. Very knowledgeable & accommodating. I learnt a lot, which was very emotional. Jon was very mindful of my children’s ages whilst giving the tour, which was appreciated. The children came away telling me how much they had learnt. Took some great pictures of us also. Overall, AMAZING.

Great day, great weather, great fun. Jon was full of incredible info and knowledge about all the events before and after 9/11. When we toured the museum the knowledge we already had opened our eyes to the day that changed our world.
I absolutely recommend this tour! Interesting, comprehensive, full of information that we did not expect! Small breaks made the tour non-committal. Guide always ready to answer our questions, congratulations!
