Smaller-sized groups. Perfect for tourists AND locals wishing to learn more about the day that changed us all forever! Your 2.5 hr, 1.4 mi. (2.25 km) walking tour will be led by a expert, local, licensed Guide. Tour begins in Battery Park and concludes at Ground Zero site; location of the hauntingly beautiful memorial pools in the footprints of the former, iconic WTC Twin Towers. This comprehensive tour explores 9/11 and the World Trade Center and also New York's famed Financial District. You'll be captivated with stories of 9/11’s unsung heroes (some personal stories) and their selfless acts of courage. These stories will be coupled with comprehensive discussion that details aspects of the former Twin Towers from its origin to its infamy of becoming Ground Zero, to the rebuilding and rebirth of the majestic World Trade Center complex, once again. You’ll gain important knowledge, insight and perspective into what it was like living through the terrorist attacks and it's aftermath.

I’ve done many of these types of tours around the world and Debbie was one of the best. Passionate and knowledgeable she went above and beyond with an informative and fun journey around the financial district and 9/11 memorial with first hand experiences.

We were absolutely delighted with Debbie as our tour guide and every moment of her tour was FULL of amazingly detailed information. She is a veritable encyclopedia of extremely interesting information every step of the way. She has many pictures and personal stories that throughly embellish the experience. Always with a big smile on her face! Debbie is a gem and we highly recommend selecting her as your tour guide when visiting NYC. She will not disappoint!!
