What To Expect

Ground Zero Museum Workshop

Experience an emotional 1-hour walking tour of the NYC 9/11 Ground Zero site. Pay tribute to the fallen heroes and gather near the different monuments. Your tour guide will help you to really understand what happened on that memorial day of the 9/11.

Brookfield Place

Brookfield Place is NYC's best destination for shopping, dining, cultural events and art exhibits in downtown Manhattan. The guide will just show you the place from outside but you won't go shopping. You can always come back at a latter time to shop by yourself.

The Oculus

The Oculus in NYC is an artistic landmark located within walking distance of the World Trade Center. The guide will show it to you but you won't enter inside. You can always come back and visit it by yourself another time.

St. Paul's Chapel

After the attacks of September 11, 2001, St. Paul’s Chapel, which sits directly across the street from the World Trade Center site, suffered no physical damage. As recovery work started at the World Trade Center site, hundreds of rescue workers came to Lower Manhattan to search for survivors and begin sorting through the ruins. Slowly at first, rescue workers, police, and firefighters stopped by the chapel to rest and wash up.

Great tour guide who combined facts with his own experiences of that fateful day... Warm friendly guy who took his time, answered questions despite the weather.

I have done two walking tours in New York and have to say they depend on the guide as to how good they are. Anyone can learn the facts but how they are conveyed can bring a tour to life or kill it. Sergei was very knowledgable but his accent was very heavy and hard for me as a native English speaker to understand. The tour was also 1 hour 5, minutes not 1.5 hours as advertised.

Tour guide had no documentation to prove he was a tour guide Continually checked his watch to ensure he didnt go over the hour guide. Tour guide appeared to be new to the occupation When asked about the museum being closed on a Tuesday he didnt know and had to google it!! Shame because Ground Zero itself is a must visit but save the money and make sure you visit on a day the museum is open
