Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: St. Paul's Chapel, 209 Broadway b/t Fulton Street & Vesey Street, New York City, NY 10007-2977
You’ll start out at St. Peter’s Church from where you walk over to St. Paul’s Chapel with a more personal insight into the drama that unfolded here. This was where families and friends came to pray, offer support and await news in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; as testified by the hand-drawn cards and memorials, personal memorabilia and photographs that still hang here.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: American Express 11 Tears Memorial, 200 Vesey St American Express Headquarters, New York City, NY 10281-1013
On next to some sites you may have missed visiting on your own. With a local guide leading the way, you’ll see special spots away from the major landmarks. At the 9/11 Memorial, your guide will make your visit that bit more special. Together you’ll see the Twin Reflecting Pools, built in the footprints of the World Trade Centre and engraved with the names of every victim. Learn the little nuances that make it more touching; like how staff place a single rose in the name of each victim on their birthday. Visit the Fireman’s Memorial to pay tribute to those brave men and women who worked around the clock after the attacks. See the Survivor’s Tree, a single tree which miraculously survived the attacks and was nursed back to health by New Yorkers, as a symbol of their enduring strength.
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: The Oculus, 33-69 Vesey St World Trade Center, New York City, NY 10003

Stop At: One World Observatory, 117 West Street One World Trade Center, New York City, NY 10007-0089
The highlight of your tour comes at the end with a visit to the brand new One World Observatory. With pre-reserved tickets your visit is guaranteed to go ahead regardless of the how large the crowds are. There’s not much explanation needed here so your guide will leave you for an independent visit.
Inside the lobby you’ll find videos about the production of this incredible structure - said to be the strongest in the world - and of the men and women who built it. Then board a ‘skypod’ to travel through time AND space. Created in association with Universal Studios, the special ‘skypod’ elevators are covered inside in LCD screens, on which you’ll watch the changing face of New York from the 1600s to today while ascending 102 floors in just 42 seconds. Disembark at the top of One World Tower for incredible panoramic views over NYC. What better way to end a day of looking back with a glance into the future.

It was good to see the world trade center but the guide took forever to get there. Lots of walking in circles. LOVED the observatory.
I did not realize I booked the 2 hour walking tour with Rob prior to the Observatory. The tour with Rob was excellent! Much more information than we would have known if we did not take the tour. I highly recommend this tour with Rob!
Very Very GOOD, The tour was excellent and the guide Gerry was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend it to all.
