Overview

This moving and evocative 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. This historic church was miraculously unharmed when the Twin Towers fell despite being only a block away. 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 artificial 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. From there, begin a self-guided tour in the lobby of the Freedom Tower by watching "Voices," a film dedicated to the men and women of the Twin Towers and Freedom Tower. Upgrade your experience to take the "Sky Pod" elevator 1,250 feet up to the One World Observatory, where you can see the NYC skyline stretching across Manhattan.

Meeting points

Please meet our tour concierge outside St. Paul's Chapel on Broadway (between Fulton & Vesey Streets). They will be there 15 minutes before the tour starts and will be wearing an orange hat.

End point

Open in Google Maps

You will go to the One World Observatory on your own after the tour. You can spend as long as you like at the top but most people spend about an hour.

An awesome tour. The guide was wonderful and had such passion for sharing what happened on 9/11 and what has happened since, providing first hand experience as someone who lived and is living in NYC. We learned so much that we didn't know and would 100% recommend.
