Highlights
- St. Paul’s Chapel - We will start the tour at St. Paul’s Chapel, New York City’s oldest public building still in continuous use. Just one block away from the 9/11 attacks, it miraculously survived the falling building and debris. St. Paul’s Chapel served as a makeshift rescue center during the aftermath. Its iron fence became a bulletin board where family members posted notices of their missing loved ones. Today, with the mementos received from people around the world supporting New York City, the church serves as both a landmark and a tribute.

Jaclyn was amazing - 9/11 tour - Our first ever guided tour and Jaclyn proved that with the right guide, you can experience even more. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Passionate and knowledgeable with so much respect. She brought the 9/11 story to life and allowed us time to gather our thoughts in different areas. A small group helped, it was more intimate. Thank you Jaclyn.

Excellent - Fantastic tour. Guide was great, he made the experience. Learned way more than if we had seen the sites ourselves. David was very eloquent at recounting the events and subsequent recovery of the city

Great 911 tour - Dana was a fabulous tour guide. She showed us the reverence the tour needed while still celebrating the memory of lives lost. Her personal tragedy of losing her brother made it more personal, while still sharing facts of that tragic day. I would highly recommend the entire experience.

9/11 - Jaclyn really knew what she was doing. You could definitely tell the whole tour meant a lot to her. She answered any questions we had. The whole 9/11 attack was horrible but seeing the memorial and seeing all the names associated with it made you realize just how devastating the whole thing was. Jaclyn was very informative and you could tell that the whole memorial meant a lot to her as well. She was truly amazing!

Excellent guide - David was very knowledgeable and enhanced our experience of seeing the 911 Memorial and the surrounding area.
