What To Expect
1
St. Paul's Chapel
We will start the tour at St. Paul's Chapel, New York Cityā€™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. Paulā€™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 Aradā€™s ā€œReflecting Absence,ā€ 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.

After years and years of debate we finally booked our NYC trip from England. In the lead up to this trip we decided to book our trips in advance, finding this tour as one of the most rated. We arrived at said time of the tickets and we were greeted by TIM, he assured us we will be underway if the tour promptly. Once the tour started, we realised this was the best decision made. Tim was very knowledgable, he gets everyone in on the questions, speaks directly to people and asks them of their thoughts. He will take you to places we never thought existed and we very overwhelmed with the information he gave out. (In a good way). Overall we were very pleased with Tim and the walking tour. Only downfall was the cold weather but we knew what we were expecting at -3. We would recommend this tour to anyone thinking of booking, if you get Tim to do your tour, rest assured youā€™ll be well looked after & donā€™t forget to tip if you enjoyed the tour. Thanks again :)

We did only the 1.5h Ground Zero Tour guided by Daniel The Tour was extremely interesting. Daniel's guidance was impressively efficient yet emotional and fascinated

Ryan was so kind and informative. His personality was enchanting and he made us feel like we were there on September 11, 2001. I would 10/10 recommend him for a 9/11 tour to anyone and we will definitely be back in the future.
