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.

Fantastic tour. Very informative and brilliant guide. A must if you are in NYC. Adam our guide was a fountain of knowledge and his personal contact with 9/11 was special.

The tour guide never showed up, so we rang up and they said it wasn’t on the system? So just had to walk around out selves
