The 9/11 Ground Zero Walking Tour

Overview

One of the most important historic days in our lifetime, the events of 9/11 have shaped who we are today. Come with us as we bring you into the story of the day, the tragic loss, the effort to move forward, and the resilience that has propelled the revitalization.

With sensitive care, the events of the day will be explored as you walk in the footsteps of the heroes, survivors, and victims. Along the way you will visit sites like Saint Paul's Chapel, The Oculus, the new World Trade Center site, and finally the official memorial grounds.

Your guide will share with you all the unique features and details to be found throughout the memorial, such as the Pools, FDNY Memorial Wall, The Sphere, The Glade, and finally the Survivor Tree.

We will deepen your experience by sharing the details you could easily miss on your own. The story of this day is about and for all of us. Sharing it together is how we can come to understand, grieve, honor, and ultimately find peace in loss and survival.
