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.

Me and my dad had the most amazing day at ground zero! Nathan, our tour guide was amazing and really knowledgeable throughout the whole tour. Me and my dad both have never been to New York before so it was great to have a tour guide who could show us around and tell us some really interesting information throughout the experience. Would 100% recommend the Ground Zero walking tour and our amazing tour guide Nathan 😊

Such a great tour. My grandfather has been wanting to do a tour of ground zero for a while now. He’s was a firefighter in upstate NY and has a lot of love for the brave firefighters who gave their lives and safety to save the victims. This tour made him get very emotional, but he raved at how excellent it was. The tour guide was wonderful and this is truly a great tour for anyone.

My boyfriend and I had always wanted to visit this sacred site and finally got the opportunity to do so. This experience was wonderful. It was tastefully done, not commercialized in the least. Such respect and reverence was shown for all those effected by the events of that awful day. Our guide, Jonathan, was well-versed in the information of the events that happened and was more than happy to answer our questions. We even had the opportunity to pay our respects to those who lost their lives on that tragic day. This tour is a MUST for anyone planning a trip to the City. Highly recommend!!
