Itinerary
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 survived the falling building & debris. St. Paul’s Chapel served as makeshift rescue center. The iron fence became a bulletin board where family members posted notices of their missing loved ones.
The outside structure of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, is the subway entrance and extensive shopping center. The name comes from the strip of windows, or skylights, along the spine of the roof. Oculus is the Latin word for “eye,” which, in architecture, refers to a round or eye-like opening with a view of the sky. Take a look up through the windows, and you’ll see Freedom Tower.
Enter the 911 Museum with exclusive skip the line access. Admission to the museum is only included if that option is selected.

Traveler reviews
Do not use vendor atractions4us. They gave tickets that didn't work and did not provide refund
I was given tickets for the 9-11 museum and when I tried to use them the museum said they had already been used. I contacted viator and they said the vendor refused to provide a refund. The vendor attractions4us has horrible reviews online and would not use them. I am also aggravated that viator is sponsoring this company and then did not support me, I will not be using viator in the future.
Great Guide very...
Great Guide very insightful and knowledgeable and made the tour a personal experience for us both he deserves a pay rise.
Very disappointed
I believe due to the actual 9/11 activities there was quite a bit of confusion I first scheduled our tour for 11:30 then was notified it was changed to 1:30 arrived but was told by police that it wasn’t opening until 3pm unfortunately had other plans later contacted the sales people to cancel or credit to today they said they couldn’t do that so that was a waste of $200.very very disappointing
Great experience on walking tour of New York
Wonderful and informative tour. Our tour guide, Leanne Littlestone was extremely knowlegable and enthusiastic on the history of New York and 9/11. The pace was very good for us and the group (five in total) was kept together. Group size was perfect for the tour. I would recommend this tour and especially the tour guide to anyone visiting New York and wanting an insight into the city's history.
Must see in new york.
Nina was a wonderful guide who taught us some history on the way to the memorial. As an American, I felt I needed to see this memorial in my lifetime. I remember 9/11 but the museum brings back the feelings I had when it happened. Glad I went, will never forget.
