Good for the Total Package

The total package is worth it. Jim is very responsive to questions before the tour. Prepare for the walk. The meeting point was easy enough to locate. The instructions sent before the tour was very detailed. If you know the detailed story on what happened on that day (9/11) - the tour of the memorial might not give you any additional information except for the personal story of Jim's experience on that day. I have read and watched documentaries so I did not get any additional knowledge from the tour guide. Once you enter the museum, I suggest that you get the headphones and do the unguided tour inside, this is $11 while the guided tour inside costs $39. watch all the video showing inside to get more immersed in the experience. Follow the directional signs if doing your unguided tour so you won't miss anything.
