Do you remember where you were when you heard the news? Most Americans over the age of 30 do. The footage from that day is still seared in people's memories more than two decades later.
The 9/11 Ground Zero: America Rising tour honors the lives that were tragically cut short on that Tuesday morning in 2001, as well as the heroes who sacrificed their health and safety to help others.
Led by a seasoned local guide, you will visit powerful memorial sites like the World Trade Center Sphere and the 9/11 Memorial Pools. You’ll see St. Paul’s Chapel — nicknamed “The Little Chapel that Stood” for surviving the impact of the World Trade Center collapse — and a 'survivor tree' that was nursed back to health and replanted as a symbol of American resilience.
In between these stops, you’ll hear uplifting stories of first responders, employees, and citizens who saved lives that day. There will also be moments of poetry, reflection, and levity.
Experience the many facets of the September 11th terrorist attacks — the heartbreak, the heroism, and the hope — and find inspiration in the brave actions of every day people.
