Overview

Hear first-hand accounts of September 11, 2001, on this emotional walking tour of Ground Zero and the financial district with a local guide, uncover the stories surrounding 9/11, and get a better understanding of what happened on the day the World Trade Center fell.

The tour begins at the Financial district where you’ll meet your guide and learn about the role the building played after the attacks. From here, head to the 9/11 Memorial and gather around the Memorial Pools. Listen to your guide share detailed information about the monument and the design of the pools, as well as the architecture of the new World Trade Center and its symbolic use of materials, light, and reflections.
