Overview

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.

Moving and somber tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Patty was an excellent tour guide. She showed us many local around ground zero. She had allot of interesting information that we did not know. Here recommendation of seeing the “Boat” exhibit about 911 was fascinating. Very moving and somber tour

Best of NY

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide Maya was exceptional, knowledgeable, and very personable. The observation tower was amazing, much more than expected. The memorial was emotional.

Well worth doing

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide Maya was wonderful - she is a native New Yorker and weaved her personal story about the atrocities of 911 into her mix of world trade centre knowledge in a skillful, respectful and intertwined way. This was by no means a "me, me, me" story. Her knowledge of the area, the development so far and projections was superb and she was interesting and open to any questions. My son and I learned so much about the history of the world trade centre prior to 911 and about the two rememberence pools - that we would never have known without the tour. The museum is sobering. Quietly respectful, allowing each indivudial to find the story of all the planes hijacked that fateful day and sharing information about the brave individuals who lost their lives during, and resulting from the attack. The speed of the lift in the One World Observatory is amazing and the views are wonderful - though the snow fell within 5 mins of us arriving at the top - blanketing the skyline! To sum up - do the tour: The information you glean about the area pre and post 911 is worth it alone but to also see the regeneration, hear about the One World Observatory and future plans gives a greater insight into the resilience of this remarkable place.

Maya was the best tour guide!! She shared tons of facts and personal stories about the World Trade Center. I’m not sure how to put into words how Maya made the tour enjoyable with a personal touch of a subject that is heavy and daunting.
