From the Oculus, to St Paul’s Chapel to the Memorial Pools, learn about what they all mean and how the city moved forward without ever forgetting.
Visitors will gain a deep understanding of the engineering marvels and shortcomings of the original Twin Towers. The tours offer detailed discussions on what went wrong, and how we responded to and solved those failures in the new buildings.
The tours share the personal stories of individuals affected by the events, including those memorialized on the bronze panels of the reflecting pools. These narratives bring a personal and emotional dimension to the story. We will always remember the people we lost, and we will always remember their beauty.

sites you will visit

Saint Paul’s is the oldest building in New York City and served an incredible purpose in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Come learn about the significance of the Chapel where Washington and Hamilton once prayed.
Knowing we could never replace those original twins or the people who were in them, we did the next best thing.
We got right back up and erected new structures with remembrances built in. We will pass by these two iconic structures and discuss the tributes hidden within.
“Reflecting Absence” is the Memorial creation of Michael Arad, and consists of two memorial reflecting pools in the original 1 acre footprints of each tower.
Pay respects to the heroes who ran into danger and paid the ultimate price in order to save as many of New York City’s citizens as they could. May they never be forgotten.
