It's just never the same until you are standing there. Visit the World Trade Center site (also known as Ground Zero), and hear a first hand account of what Sept 11 felt like on the ground that day. View the progress of the new World Trade Center complex and visit the recently opened Memorial. Enter St. Paul's Chapel, where George Washington prayed on the day of his inauguration in 1789, and learn how this little Church directly across the street from the World Trade Center survived the horror of 9/11. Walk on Wall Street and see the NY Stock Exchange, perhaps the most influential and volatile financial institution in the world. See the building which houses the world's largest collection of GOLD BARS. And look up at a striking statue of George Washington at the Federal Hall Memorial, imagining what it was like to be there that day, the birth of the American Presidency. The power of this small parcel of land in Lower Manhattan is unparalleled. |

| Meet up location: Our 5 hour tour time is based on a Manhattan meeting location such as a cruise ship terminal, hotel, or any other locale on the island of Manhattan. Any meeting location outside of Manhattan such as an airport or NJ or Brooklyn cruise terminal will require additional cost and/or time to enjoy the fullest tour possible. |
|
| End location: Our 5 hour tour time is designed to allow ample time to return to our original meeting location. Should you wish to end the tour at any other Manhattan location we can do that as well. It is entirely up to you. |
|
| Duration: 4 hours |

|
| 8 USD - This is the cost per person of an Unlimited Ride Subway & Bus card for the day. The subway is the cheapest and most convenient form of NYC transportation and is a unique part of the tour experience all by itself! Taxis can be hailed at additional cost if navigating subway steps is a concern. |
|
| This experience of Lower Manhattan is all inclusive notwithstanding: any food or beverages you may wish to purchase during our time together, and the cost of transportation as mentioned above. |
|
| Tranportation to/from our meeting place via subway, taxi, etc. Food/beverages if desired. There are no other fees necessary for this tour. |
|
| Tour #: 6976 |
|
| Tour Type: Shore Excursion, Cultural, City |
|
| Activity Level: Light |
|
 Friendly: Yes. |
| In this case we will utilize a taxi to travel to/from our meeting place as the subway is less than ideal for wheelchair or other travelers with mobility issues. The area covered during our actual walking tour is fairly limited and can easily be navigated by wheelchair. This tour may not be suitable for someone who requires a walker. |
|
Kid Friendly: Yes. I love the energy & enthusiasm of children, especially their questions! Obviously their attention and willingness to move along the tour route with us is crucial to a successful tour so
consider their behavior when determining if you wish for them to come along. Also, remember we will be talking about the events of Sept 11, 2001. |
