What your day looks like
Visit the landmarks of Ground Zero on this VIP guided tour led by a New Yorker with a personal connection to the events of that day. This tour offers an intimate encounter with history as you hear the stories of not just tragedy but also heroism and resilience. After visiting the 9/11 Memorial and other sites at Ground Zero, tour the 9/11 Museum with a guide as you discover its vast collections of media and memorabilia. The museum covers not just the tragedy but also the rebirth of Lower Manhattan. This option includes a skip-the-line ticket, and you’re welcome to stay as long as you’d like after the guided portion of your museum tour.
