Experience a unique World Trade Center tour that takes you to hidden places where the lingering damage from 9/11 can still be seen. Hear the personal stories of a survivor and learn about the heroes and memorials of that fateful day.

St. Paul’s Chapel - This little chapel is incredibly rich in not only September 11 history, but American and NYC history as well.
Originally Church Of England, it predates the United States by about a decade. The original Great Seal of the United States (E PLURIBUS UNUM) hangs on its wall.
A service was said for guest of honor George Washington on the day of his inauguration in 1789. All of the windows are original from 1766. Find out why none broke on September 11, despite virtually every other window breaking for blocks around!
Firemen and engineers who cleaned up Ground Zero slept here until May of 2002. A Revolutionary general, born in Ireland and killed in action in Quebec, is entombed here, in the first American national monument.
I can’t express how awesome a place this is.

I’m a 9/11 survivor and a member of the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. I will share my personal experience of that day and the weeks that followed. After the attacks, I volunteered at what was then known as Ground Zero. I organized guides to provide free walking tours to visiting first responders during the aftermath. This area is steeped in history, being part of 400-year-old New York City, with Colonial, Revolutionary War, and early American historic sites all around. The tour starts in a church that George Washington attended.
You will see:
The Memorial Pools located where the Twin Towers once stood
The Eleven Tears Memorial at American Express
A memorial for survivors who have since passed away due to 9/11 syndrome
A sculpture honoring still-living survivors
You will be taken to places most guides are unaware of: locations where you can still see remnants of the damage from September 11 that have never been removed. It’s still visible if you know where to look. Let me show you.
