Experience Highlights

This deeply personal tour of Ground Zero begins at the site of what served as a rescue center for victims and place for mementos after the attacks: St. Paul's Chapel. The historic church was miraculously unharmed when the Twin Towers fell. You'll then walk to the 9/11 Memorial where we'll reflect on the lives lost in the World Trade Center attacks. See "Reflecting Absence," the largest man-made waterfalls on the continent. Your guide will share the meaning behind the memorial, stories from the day, and how New Yorkers came together in the aftermath. Afterward, visit the 9/11 Museum with your skip-the-line ticket for a self-guided tour of the exhibits and artifacts. Next, walk over to Freedom Tower, and in the lobby, you can watch "Voices," a film about the Twin Towers and Freedom Tower, before riding the SkyPod elevator 1,250 feet up. Visit the tri-level One World Observatory for panoramic views of NYC, immersive LED displays, and the See Forever Theater.

    Jim Quinn was an excellent guide. His own personal experiences of 9/11 gave an added dimension to the tour. The museum was incredible, but I would suggest that you allow at least 2 hours as a minimum. The view from the One tower was simply stunning. On the day we had booked the weather was awful, but we were given replacement tickets for the following day. We could see for miles. It was an unforgettable day!

    The most memorable part of our trip was having our tour guide, Sean, share all of the stories and make the experience very personable.
