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.

First of all Lyndsey was a star, her story of her memory of 9-1-1 was tear jerking. I loved the tour and the museum is a must. This day brought me back to the saddest day in U.S. history in my lifetime and what I was doing when the World Trade Center was attacked. Lyndsey really made the tour special, she is young but her knowledge and passion helped make this an enjoyable journey, THANKS..

This was the highlight of our trip to NYC, our guide Daniel was superb he brought the emotions and realism of the events of that terrible day to life. His ability to capture the events and the significance of the memorial were very respectful and moving. Well done Daniel and keep up the excellent work.

For such a somber topic and historical event, Eric gave greatly informative details ā€” from the lead-up, architectural design impacts, effect of time of day, day of events, and aftermath. Two of the four of us lived through the events (in Boston); our children were not yet born. Eric addressed this so well that my children understood and were engaged, also. I highly recommend the tour and Eric.
