What To Expect

St. Paul's Chapel

We will start the tour at St. Paul's Chapel, New York City’s oldest public building still in continuous use. Just one block away from the 9/11 attacks, it miraculously survived the falling building and debris. St. Paul’s Chapel served as a makeshift rescue center during the aftermath. Its iron fence became a bulletin board where family members posted notices of their missing loved ones. Today, with the mementos received from people around the world supporting New York City, the church serves as both a landmark and a tribute.

The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum

You'll enter the 9/11 Memorial, where you can pay your respects to those who lost their lives in the World Trade Center. Take a moment at Michael Arad’s “Reflecting Absence,” a man-made waterfall that symbolizes the void left behind by tragedy. Learn how the names of the nearly 3,000 victims were placed around the waterfall next to their friends, family members, and colleagues. See the new Freedom Tower and World Trade Center rise from the ground.

The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum

For those with 9/11 Museum option selected, you will be provided with special timed entry tickets to minimize wait times. Museum entry time will be based on availability. Our guides will give you a preview of the museum and what to expect so you can plan accordingly, and still have time to see other sights important to you. The Museum visit will be unguided, so feel free to enjoy it at your leisure.

Nick, our tour guide was fantastic!! He had a personal connection with 9/11 as he had a loved one on the first plane. He did a great job of providing so much information that we had never heard, even though we had been there before and had watched many documentaries on that tragic day. It was well worth the price and being able to walk right into the museum without having to wait in line made it even better. It was the highlight of our NY trip and I would encourage anyone to do it.

My family and I did the 9/11 Memorial & Ground Zero Tour with the Skip the Line 9/11 Museum. Our tour guide was Julie, and she was very well informed, articulate, professional and personable. I would highly recommend doing the tour as part of the 9/11 Memorial experience since I think it adds a lot to the overall appreciation of what happened that day and how it impacted the City and the nation. I also think that taking the tour deepens your connection with the profound loss on 9/11 and enhances the experience of honoring those who died and the families that survived them.
