Overview
Smaller-sized groups. Perfect for tourists AND locals wishing to learn more about the day that changed us all forever!

Your 2.5 hr.,1.4 mi. (2.25 km) walking tour will be led by a expert, local, licensed Guide. Tour begins in Battery Park and concludes at Ground Zero site; location of the hauntingly beautiful memorial pools in the footprints of the former, iconic WTC Twin Towers.

This comprehensive tour explores 9/11 and the World Trade Center and also New York's famed Financial District. You'll be captivated with stories of 9/11’s unsung heroes (some personal stories) and their selfless acts of courage.

Deb gave an amazing tour, she knew so much and had so much passion for her job. I definitely enjoyed hearing her stories about each place instead of just having someone point and tell you what something was.
