About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- dianenield20 contributionsA tour not to be missedChristopher made this tour ! We were a small group and he immediately made us feel welcome and ‘ broke the ice’ with his warm infectious personality. On top of this he will also take lots of photos for you and you never feel rushed He is a brilliant storyteller, using the laminated images to set the scene of how the day unfolded and the impact this disaster had on the Country as a whole. You will visit places you never even thought of and come away with an enormous sense of pride in how this state has bounced back whilst never forgetting those who were lost I would definitely recommend this tour ahead of visiting the museumWritten September 4, 2024

- sharrongeg0 contributionsVery Well Done - but gut wrenchingSenior tickets were $27 each. Free to just view the memorial reflecting pools but museum is entirely underground. While superbly done, both my husband and I were nearly moved to tears and we toured the museum. Parts very graphic, stories so real - we had a physical response. Super important to visit, but I never want to visit again.Written June 17, 2024

This was my third visit to the World Trade Center, and the first with a trip advisor advertised company. It was by far, the BEST tour! I learned more than the other two tours before. Our guide Christopher was amazing! He was knowledgeable, and prompted us to ask questions. He added anecdotal information that personalized the experience.
I highly recommend this tour. Well done!!!
My husband noted Christopher was most professionally presented and best dressed tour guide he has ever met.

Our guide Chris was fantastic, having lived and worked in NYC for 50 years, he had some great first hand stories and was able to convey the drama and emotion of this sad but fascinating event. We covered many areas of interest and with his excellent presentation photos, it was clear to see the stark contrast between the then and now. I would highly recommend this tour to bring the whole area and story to life

Andrew did a remarkable job and went above and beyond! He was extremely knowledgeable; we all learned so much from him. It was our first time in NY City and he did everything and more to make sure we knew where to go and how to get there. I highly recommend this tour! We have two teenage boys and they thoroughly enjoyed learning from Andrew as well. Thank you Andrew for making our NY City experience wonderful!

This was my 4th trip to NY (3rd time since 911) and I learned more than I expected! This trip was so well-thought out and the amount of information provided was a testament to the research that was done. What made the trip even better was our tour guide, Andrew L! He was polite, professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable! He is the best! A TRUE GEM!! My mother, daughter, and I had a private tour. We felt like he was part of the family by the end of the day! We would have loved to buy him lunch but he was off to China Town! Oh yeah! I almost forgot…he encouraged us to use the subway and provided us with perfect directions to Katz and back! He even helped us get our tickets and rode along with us for the first few stop!

Andrew was an excellent tour guide! The fountains and memorial are stunning. The museum was very emotional and well done. The whole tour is a wonderful way to remember and honor the people who were present that day. I left with a deeper understanding of what took place. We ended at One World Observatory. The views were stunning and helped us process the emotional day.

For only being a 1 year old during this tragic event, it was very interesting to get to learn more about it, especially from a different perspective. Jim was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable. Hearing another person’s experience was of course sad, but intriguing. I highly recommend doing this tour !

What a wonderful few hours we had on this tour today. Frank was waiting for us, and greeted us with a really lovely welcome. He was so knowledgeable, and always respectful of my mums slightly limited mobility, always checking she was happy. He had some amazing stories, and we left feeling that we had such an insight into what had happened on that dreadful day. I cannot imagine having a better experience. Don’t hesitate, we honestly can not recommend highly enough. We felt we’d made a new friend by the end of the tour. Frank is such a great character.

While you can do this on your own -- don't. This tour is well worth the money. Our guide - Mary - was very helpful and knowledgeable. They help you navigate through the memorial and associated museum with ease. You avoid the lines and you learn things that you would miss if you did it on your own. We also added the Observatory to our tour and that was a great idea. Again we avoided the lines to purchase tickets and get on the elevator.

My wife and her 3 golden Girl friends were on a 4 night stay in NY and one of the tours they wanted to do was this one, the terrorist attack on the Twin towers was beamed around the world as it happened,the shocking events from that day when so many innocent victims perished , first responders in the fire service died doing their duty and others whose life's would never be the same again, affected the whole world who united to condemn this evil act. They were shown round the site by a sensitive, kowledgeable and genuinely sincere guide called Frank,who had lost close personal friends in the attack. The girls were very moved by the tour and Frank's compelling commentary, the names of the victims and the fire service personnel who lost their lives was an emotional experience that will stay with them all forever. Thankyou Frank for your moving tour that touched all our humanity

Walking tour 911
We met in front of St. Patrick's Chapel.
We waited for the rest of the group, but no one else showed.
Our tour guide Frank is very good at what he does.
He loves what he does and he will tell you why.
He was funny yet he was so serious with his job.
He painted the picture with such heart felt feelings.
Frank was on point all day.
I would highly recommend asking for Frank.
We really enjoyed our private tour.

Does this tour include going into the museum itself or would we have to purchase tickets to that separately? If we did and if we took the 12 noon tour, what time would we purchase tickets for to the museum? Also, someone mentioned an observation deck and an elevator? Are these separate tickets you need to purchase? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I am wanting to gift this tour and museum visit to my husband and want to make sure I am including everything as I know he will want to see it all. Thanks again.

The museum is not included in this tour but you will definitely want the tour in addition! I think it took about two hours but maybe less? Allow a ton of time for the museum. I was there until it closed and wish i had more time. You can always buy tickets for a time and walk around the outside of the memorial while you wait, or see if they will let you in earlier. I think we got in earlier than the tickets said.
As far as the observation deck I did not do that at all so cannot offer any help.
Enjoy!
