Ray was our tour guide, he did such a fantastic job educating our group and really making this a more personal experience. This was, by far, our favorite experience of any of the activities we did on our four day NYC trip!

The tour was was important in order to experience the Grown Zero area - the Memorial tree, the white Roses on the victims names, understanding why the victims names appear as they do, why the towers are complete etc. Tim did a very nice job!

The Ground Zero tour begins at St. Paul's Chapel, the 255-year-old church that withstood flying debris from the falling towers despite being only a block away. During the event's aftermath, the church served as a makeshift rescue center for victims of the attacks.

From there, follow your guide to the 9/11 Memorial, where you’ll learn about the symbolic places in the memorial plaza. These include the Survivor Tree as well as the Reflecting Absence, the largest man-made waterfalls on the continent.

In the final leg of your Ground Zero tour, your guide will prepare you for your visit to the 9/11 Museum. Your visit is self-guided, and we offer a skip-the-line ticket. The museum displays artifacts and first-person stories relating to September 11th. You can spend a good couple of hours in the museum, although you’re welcome to stay for as long as it’s open.
