Just listed Experience - Join an introspective walk with retired NYPD first responders WHO WHERE THERE ON 9/11. We are retired NYPD first responders guiding this experience including areas of the 911 Memorial where we visit places tours have no idea exist. We use photographs we’ve personally taken from Ground Zero that will help you experience what it was like to be a first responder on that fateful day. We begin visiting Lower Manhattan's iconic locations such at Alexander Hamilton Customs House, The Wall Street Bull, Fraunces Tavern, Wall Street and Trinity Church and then continue to Ground Zero guided by a retired NYPD Police Offer and Ground Zero survivor. The itinerary points out the route and locations we visit. We look forward to sharing our stories with you!

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? I'm thinking about bringing my teenage son.

A: There isn't a strict age limit for the tour, but it's definitely better suited for older teens and adults. The themes discussed can be quite heavy, given the nature of 9/11 and the personal stories shared by the guides. I brought my 15-year-old, and while he appreciated the history, I could tell some parts were tough for him to process.

Q: What should we wear? Is there a lot of walking?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes because there’s quite a bit of walking involved! You’ll be on your feet for a couple of hours, and the tour takes you through some historic areas of NYC. It can also get hot in the summer, so lightweight clothing is a good idea. If you're going in winter, be sure to bundle up!

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if something comes up? How flexible are they?

A: Yes, the tour is typically flexible with rescheduling. If something comes up, you can usually contact them a few days in advance, and they’ll work with you to find a new date. Just make sure to check their specific rescheduling policy when you book, as it can vary.

Has anyone done the 9/11 Memorial Tour with NYPD first responders?

I just bought this tour as a gift for my dad, who was a firefighter and has always been affected by 9/11. I think hearing firsthand stories from retired NYPD officers will mean a lot to him. The fact that they visit less-known spots sounds really interesting! Anyone have experiences or tips for me before we go?

Thinking of gifting the NYPD 9/11 Memorial Tour - any insights?

I'm considering getting this experience for my uncle. He lost friends in 9/11 and I think this could be really meaningful for him. What are your thoughts on the emotional aspects? Is it overwhelming or well-handled?
