World Trade Center Tour - https://www.walksofnewyork.com/new-york-tours/one-world-observatory-world-trade-center-tour Explore the key sites of the 9/11 terror attacks on a small group, guided World Trade Center tour. Then visit the newly opened One World Observatory at the top of One World Trade Center for 360-degree views over New York. Why Choose This Tour? There's a lot of symbolism in One World Trade Center. Standing at an iconic 1776 feet tall, it's said to be the strongest building in the world; earthquake, storm and attack-resistant. A symbol of hope and the enduring strength of a city that was knocked down and got up again. On our small group World Trade Center tour you'll travel with a local tour guide for a more personal take on the sites and events that unfolded here. You'll hear harrowing personal stories of tragedy and loss on September 11th; visit the most important sites to pay tribute to victims and firefighters; see the Survivor's Tree to learn of New York's battle to rebuild; and finish on a high with a visit to One World Observatory. The One World Observatory is the light at the end of a long tunnel since September 2001; the missing piece of the picture, completing Manhattan's skyline once again. What better way to end an insightful and reflective day? Visit the most important sites of the World Trade Center. Your tour starts at St. Paul's Chapel; familiar to most from the footage and videos beamed around the world after the 9/11 terror attacks. This is where families and friends gathered to pray for their loved ones, support each other and await news from the wreckage. Your first visit sets a more personal tone for your World Trade Center tour. Together with your small group and guide you'll move on to the American Express Eleven Tears Memorial to hear stories of the eleven colleagues who perished here, and to the stunning Winter Gardens rebuilt now even more beautiful than ever. Speaking of beautiful, the two reflecting pools built in the footprint of the towers are a sight to behold. Lined with the names of every victim of the attacks, they're a striking reminder of the scale of the tragedy, while roses (a single rose is placed on the name of every victim on the day of their birthday) humanize the great memorial.

Visit the Fireman's Memorial to learn of the heroic men and women who worked around the clock; many of them sacrificing themselves to save hundreds of lives. At the Survivor Tree you'll hear how after surviving the attack, the tree was weaned back to health by New Yorkers, becoming a symbol for their own recovery and resilience. For many visitors the 9/11 Memorial is a daunting visit; the size and gravity so momentous that the reality is almost unfathomable. Traveling with an expert local tour guide in small groups, your experience will be more personal and insightful.
