9/11 Memorial and History Tour

Overview

Experience the day that changed our world, and the resilience that followed.

One of the most significant days in modern history, the events of September 11, 2001, forever shaped who we are as a city, a nation, and a global community.
Join us as we take you on a journey through the story of that day, the tragedy, the bravery, the recovery, and the rebirth of Lower Manhattan.

Your experience begins inside City Hall Park, where your expert guide will bring the events of 9/11 to life with sensitivity and care.
As you walk in the footsteps of heroes, survivors, and victims, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of both the loss and the strength that defined this moment in history.

From there, you’ll visit Saint Paul’s Chapel, which served as a sanctuary and relief center in the immediate aftermath, before continuing to The Oculus, the striking new World Trade Center transportation hub, and other nearby historic sites that tell the story of resilience and renewal.

The tour culminates with a visit to the 9/11 Memorial.
With your group, you’ll explore the entire site, guided through its profound symbolism, from the Reflecting Pools, set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers, to the FDNY Memorial Wall, Liberty Park, The Sphere, The Memorial Glade, and the Survivor Tree, a living symbol of hope and endurance.

Each element holds meaning that can easily be overlooked without the insight of an expert guide.
Together, we’ll honor those we lost, celebrate the courage that emerged from tragedy, and reflect on how the legacy of 9/11 continues to shape our shared humanity.
