Description

Visit Ground Zero and the 9/11 Memorial on a guided tour through Lower Manhattan, led by a licensed local expert. This guided NYC walking tour brings powerful stories to life—connecting you with the people, places, and events that shaped September 11, 2001.

The tour begins at the City Hall Subway Station and continues to St. Paul's Chapel, just one block from Ground Zero. This historic church became a sanctuary for recovery workers and a place where families searched for missing loved ones. From there, the tour moves to the FDNY Memorial Wall and Ten House fire station, where you'll hear firsthand accounts of courage from those who responded in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Along the way, you'll pause at Trinity Church and the Oculus, both holding symbolic ties to the city's recovery. The tour culminates at the 9/11 Memorial, where the twin Reflecting Pools and Survivor Tree offer a solemn space for remembrance and reflection.

Depending on the option selected at booking, your tour will either end here or include a self-guided visit to the 9/11 Museum or One World Observatory afterward, using the admission ticket(s) provided.

For those who select the Full Access option, you'll receive timed-entry admission to both the 9/11 Museum and One World Observatory. Explore the museum's powerful exhibits and artifacts at your own pace with self-guided tour, then ascend to the top of One World Trade Center for breathtaking panoramic views of New York City.
