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.

Tim with Experience First took us on a tour that embodied the idea of "Never Forget." He immediately built a sense of community within our tour group as we all went back to the moment we found out about the Twin Towers attack, allowing us to absorb the solemness of the space, but also feel the vigor of rebuilding and renewal.

This was our first time visiting the 9/11 memorial and we chose this tour due to the ability to see as much as we could. Our tour guide Daniel M was incredible. He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Without knowing how this site would impact myself, he made our group a safe space to be vulnerable and feel the weight of emotions as we went through the tour. I would Highly recommend taking the tour with him!

Daniel M was our guide. He was very informative and spoke personally about how he experienced 911. A very moving, detailed tour and was everything we had hoped for when in NYC.
