This private tour lasts between two and four hours and is led by a guide who has a personal connection to the events of that day. The tour starts at St. Paul’s Chapel, a historic church built in 1766 that survived the debris from the attacks. The guide explains the chapel’s role supporting the community after 9/11. Next, the tour visits the National September 11 Memorial plaza, where visitors can pay respects at the memorial pools, including the Survivor Tree and Reflecting Absence waterfalls, the largest man-made waterfalls in North America. The guide shares stories of tragedy, heroism, and resilience throughout this part of the visit. There is an option to upgrade for a skip-the-line ticket to the 9/11 Museum. This upgrade allows for a self-guided visit to the museum’s collection of artifacts, media, and memorabilia related to 9/11. The guided tour itself lasts about 90 minutes, with the optional museum visit typically taking around two hours. The museum visit is subject to closing times and security checks.
