Our journey starts in the Financial District, which some consider being New York City’s true heart. It was once a tiny Dutch hamlet, but today it’s home to multibillion-dollar transactions and global financial powerhouses. You’ll see and learn about the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank, and much more as you travel along Wall Street with your guide.
Take a moment to reflect and observe the 9/11 Memorial, which has two monumental fountains symbolically placed in the footprints of the Twin Towers. Hear incredible first-responder stories. Admire the architecture of the Freedom Tower and the Oculus, both of which were constructed from the ashes of Ground Zero.
We’ll next go to Battery Park, where you’ll learn about a piece of NYC history that few people are aware of: the ticker-tape parades commemorated at the Canyon of Heroes. From across the harbor, there is also a fantastic view of the Statue of Liberty. Your guide will engage you with stories about New York’s most iconic landmark while you take in the vistas, making this the ideal finale for our Lower Manhattan tour.

We cover about 2 miles in Lower Manhattan at a leisurely pace. If mobility is an issue, you can also book a private tour.
Does this tour go inside the 9/11 Museum?
The 9/11 Memorial is included on this trip, however, it does not include a visit to the 9/11 Museum. We suggest our 9/11 Memorial and Museum Insider Tour if you want to explore the museum as part of your Ground Zero visit.

We are aware that plans might change. You may easily change your tour up to 24 hours before departure. We provide a 100% refund up to 24 hours before the start of your tour. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.

Prepare to arrive 15 minutes early. The trip begins immediately, and if you come late, you may not be able to catch up.
What if it rains?
Our tours go on rain or shine, so please check the weather forecast before you go. If we have to cancel due to severe weather conditions, we will give you the option to reschedule or get a full refund.
