All-Access 9/11: Ground Zero Tour, Memorial and Museum, One World Observatory

Overview

This deeply personal 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. The historic church was miraculously unharmed when the Twin Towers fell.

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 man-made 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.

Afterward, visit the 9/11 Museum with your skip-the-line ticket for a self-guided tour of the exhibits and artifacts. Next, walk over to Freedom Tower, and in the lobby, you can watch "Voices," a film about the Twin Towers and Freedom Tower, before riding the SkyPod elevator 1,250 feet up. Visit the tri-level One World Observatory for panoramic views of NYC, immersive LED displays, and the See Forever Theater.

Excellent, informative tour of “Ground Zero” in NYC. Tour guide Tony was knowledgable about the location, buildings, architecture, and victims. Moving experience outlining an horrific day in US history.

Tim Douglas was an excellent tour guide. He was very engaging and shared great stories of such a tragic time in our history. Not just stories of the horrific incident but also stories of heroes. The helpers. This was my son’s first time in New York and we felt it was important for him to visit and understand better what happened that day. Thank you for the positive experience.
