Itinerary
See the famous facade of the NYSE, the largest stock exchange in the world, as you learn about its historic roots and how it shaped global financial history in ways no one thought possible.
The Federal Hall we’ll visit isn't the original, but this is the place where George Washington took his oath of office. But the current building is historic too, a Greek Revival masterpiece built in 1842 that once served as a customs house.
Hear the surprising story of an NYC banking dynasty as you admire this impressive building inspired by Italian piazzas.
See the towering steeple of beautiful Trinity Church, but don’t miss the historic churchyard in its shadow. Here, Alexander Hamilton lies buried.
Pause to reflect at one of the most beautiful memorials in the country, with its bronze parapets and two symbolic waterfalls. Your guide will share stories of resilience, sorrow, and hope that defined this day for New Yorkers.
Tour the Canyon of Heroes at Battery Park, and learn about ticker tape parades in the place where they were born.
See the famous symbol of American commerce, often called the Wall Street Bull, and snap a photo to commemorate the occasion!
This Beaux-Arts landmark was built in the early 20th century to collect duties. Learn about its history and significance as you admire its architecture.
See outside the Castle Clinton National Monument, once a fort to protect New York Harbor, and enjoy panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty across the bay.

Kevin was great. Far more informative than I was expecting.
Kevin was our guide and was excellent !
Kevin was a wonderful tour guide. He shared both his personal story and was very knowledgeable and informative of New York history. I’d highly recommend!
Dave was our tour guide and he did an exceptional job. I loved his thoroughness, ability to communicate well and that he brought a binder of photos which helped give a visual to what he was talking about. He also had a portable microphone which helped in the areas where it was hard to hear. It was also an interesting note that he was right there when the towers came down during 911. His first hand account was interesting to hear. I would definitely take one of his tours again.
Kevin was an amazing tour! So informational and touching tour with so many great stories heard. We truly appreciate Kevin and love the mention of the telling us the story about the dog Sirius.
We had an amazing experience with Dave as our tour guide in New York. From start to finish, he was incredibly informative, personable, and engaging. What really stood out was the personal touch he brought to the tour - he didn’t just show us the typical sights, but shared stories, insights, photos, and local knowledge that made each stop feel meaningful and memorable. Dave’s passion for the city was evident, and he took the time to connect with everyone in the group, making the experience feel more like exploring New York with a knowledgeable friend than being on a standard tour. We learned so much and discovered places we never would have appreciated on our own.
Ross was our private guide . He works for experience first. He was very professional and very knowledgeable .
Good information and very knowledgeable about the tragic accident.
Kevin the tour guide was amazing. A really special experience. Thank you.
First time I’ve been to New York in about 25 years. I had a great time so a lot.
SCAM. And if it isn’t … then HORRIBLE customer experience. They did NOT give us our tickets for the museum and observatory. We only did the walking tour and when it ended we had no explanation and NO TICKETS for the other experiences. We talked to Albert in customer experience and argued with us that we received them!!! Two kids stuck with no tickets. I would give 0 stars if I could.
Ray R was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and patient.
We started on time and Amy our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about our points of interest-NYSE, Wall Street, Trinity Church, 911 Memorial which included the Oculus in the #3/4 tower, and the charging bull. Amy gave us very clear directions on getting on the boat for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Amy also paced us well so we didn’t feel rushed.
This is the 911 World Trade Center tour. The survey seems broke in that I couldn’t select it so had to Put under this Manhattan one Ross was a great tour guide. I leaned a huge amount about the history and found him so interesting and informative. Great personal stories too
Our guide Dave did a great job giving our group so much history about the area. Our group of 4 adults and 4 teens all enjoyed this tour!
Maya led a 90-minute tour of the World Trade Center and 9/11 Memorial. She was deeply knowledgeable on the locale and events of 9/11, amplified by her and her family’s first-hand experience with the events of that day. Highly recommend this, together with the tickets to the 9/11 museum afterward.
Our guide, Paul, was amazing. He added so much detail to the tour we could never have gathered on our own. Thank you!
Great leader in Ray. Took us to the important areas, explained everything really well and was most helpful.
Fantastic and respectable tour conducted by Sergio. He was informative and gave a personal perspective of 9/11. Highly recommend.
Tim Douglas was absolutely excellent!! a first-rate tour!
James was a wonderful tour guide through the various points of Ground Zero/911 Memorial. He gave a realistic guide to the days of and after, providing moments of brevity where appropriate. We appreciated that on a very hot day he found shade for the group to stand and included everyone in questions and conversations. Length of the tour was perfect - not too long and not too short.
In our very limited time in NYC, I wanted to maximize our way to see the sites efficiently. Cale guided us through the city with ease and he was filled with so much knowledge! With our small group he was able to answer all our individual questions and kept the day at a fun and comfortable pace. We learned so much, laughed, got our steps in, and had a great time! Would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Cale for a great day exploring NYC!
Our tour with Ross was incredible. It was so meaningful to learn about the history of the World Trade Center, the events of 9/11, and the aftermath from a native New Yorker who was in the city that day. He was also fantastic in accommodating my elderly and disabled parents. It was such a meaningful day.
Tony, our guide, was very informative and knowledgeable. Only suggestion is that he wear a headset or microphone.
James was an amazing guide and balanced the tone of the tour to match the delicate topic. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He even went out of his way to help me purchase an engine 10 t shirt for my son in law who is a paramedic. Thoroughly recommend going on a tour with James.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. He even brought an I pad with illustrations to help his stories.
Russell gave us fascinating insights and facts about 9/11. We totally enjoyed the tour.
Amy was great. The weather wasn’t the best but she made the experience enjoyable and insightful. She had a great breadth of knowledge about the history of 9/11. She was very personable and relatable.
Tim Douglas made this a trip I’ll never forget. He was very knowledgeable, funny and made sure he remembered everyone’s name. He even got us to see apart of the 911 memorial that happens to be blocked off. Thanks Tim for making this a wonderful experience. Marietta he always said my name I love that made me feel special
Rob, our tour guide, did an awesome job. He was educational mixing the appropriate amount of seriousness to respect the 911 victims and with occasional humor too to lighten the tour and keep it fun. I really liked Rob. I worked 911 as an FBI Agent (assigned to NY temporarily from Oklahoma for about 5 months); but I had never seen the Memorial until this tour. Glad I got to share the tour with my 12 year old son, Colt. Scott Bauer Fort Worth, Texas
Even on a rainy day, it was a very moving tour - I may have cried a few times. Kevin was great.
Helene was an excellent guide, she delivered a lot of information in a warm, funny and insightful way. Highly recommend!
Great tour, great information. Helene was very helpful and provided lots of interesting facts. She speaks quickly so you have to really listen. The tour could probably be cut to 1 hour. Too much standing for some. All in all well worth it!
James was very knowledgable, very nice! He respected our time schedule and kept the tour from becoming too heavy while still encouraging reverence for the solemn nature of the memorial. Would strongly recommend! Thanks James!
Great tour for 911 buildings. Definitely recommended if you’re visiting
Great job by tour guide Jimmy. This was a unique perspective on the events of Sept 11 as our guide shared many personal experiences of that day - school, parents, what happened on that day. I appreciated a perspective of someone who literally lived it that day. Funny and poignant throughout the tour, nice balance of each which is not easy given the circumstances of this day. I would recommend to anyone wanting a perspective of an actual "survivor".
Marc was a great and guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Nice to have someone local as your guide.
The tour was awesome and we really enjoyed the experience.
We have perfect experience with this guided tour. We learned a lot about the history of USA. The guide was very knowledgeable and he was born and lives in New York.It worted to take this tour. Thank you for the tour!
My mum, son and I did the walking tour today with Ray it was absolutely amazing one of my favourite tours I have done in all my travels, Rays knowledge and expertise of the area was phenomenal he was so informative and gave personal little touches to every stop. Thank you for all the tips Ray we truely appreciated your time and can highly recommend this tour when visiting New York.
Tim Douglas was a great guide and the tour great.
Excellent review of the 9/11 memorial by Kevin
The 9/11 Memorial tour was choreographed and executed perfectly. Jimmy (myguybk), our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, engaged, friendly, and sincere. Our perfect group size of 16 were in an obvious sober and serious mood, and Jimmy spent the first minutes relaxing us with funny tales of his family history in NYC. I won't spoil it, but he's "the guy" for finding the best hotdogs in NYC. In my opinion, this was the perfect time to inject a tad of humor to help relax the group. Jimmy spent the next several minutes detailing his 9/11 experience through the innocent eyes of a thirteen year old before leading us outside to tour the memorial. As we made our way through the memorial he allowed us some free time to explore, yet making sure no one was lost during the tour. Tripadvisor offers a couple tour options so folks can choose one that fits their budget. 5 starts out of 5. Thanks, Jimmy (myguybk)
Alice did a great tour and explained everything very
What an amazing tour guide Jaclyn was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about 9-11 with great empathy to so many that lost their lives. Highly recommend
Angela was an awesome guide with great knowledge of the history of each neighbourhood but also a locals perspective on today’s status including best places to eat.
Fantastic tour of the World Trade Center site.
Our tour guide was a lovely lady named Alice…. Her enthusiasm and knowledge was incredible…. She went over and beyond telling us so many in-depth stories about this tragic day. I would highly recommend this tour and Alice….. It made our trip to NYC so worthwhile.
We took the Ground Zero VIP tour and it was magnificent! Our first tour, the 9/11 Memorial and Ground Zero Walking Tour was with tour guide Arun. He was amazing! So knowledgeable and informative. He even helped us find the names on the pools of two friends we lost in 9/11. He answered our questions with proficiency and patience. It is so much to take in, but he managed to help us absorb everything as best we could. He is a rock star! Thank you!!!! ❤️
