Itinerary

The NYC Freedom tour includes two boat cruises and a tour guide that stays with you for the entire tour.

9/11 Memorial

This tour starts with a boat cruise to Battery Park, then a 10-block walk up to the 9/11 Memorial site. Your tour guide will show you the new 9/11 Memorial and will tell you about the Memorial and the World Trade Center tragedy.

Firefighter’s Memorial, St. Paul’s, and Trinity Church

After seeing the Memorial, your guide will walk you past the Firefighters’ Memorial, to see St. Paul’s Chapel and Trinity Church. You will hear about how St. Paul’s served as the triage center during the 1776 fire as well as during September of 2011. During that walk, you will learn the in-depth story of the 9/11 attacks and how New Yorkers dealt with the tragedy. Our New York native tour guides will educate you about the recovery effort, the way in which the attacks affected life in New York City, and the new One World Trade Center tower that is being constructed at the site.

Wall Street

You will also see Wall Street, where the tour guide will show you the site of the first terrorist attack on the United States.

South Street Seaport, Brooklyn Bridge, and Statue of Liberty

You will then take a short bus ride to South Street Seaport, where, after a short break, you will take a boat cruise along the Brooklyn Bridge over to Fulton Ferry Landing in Brooklyn. You’ll make a quick stop, and then the boat will take you to the Statue of Liberty to get up close and personal with Lady Liberty for fantastic photo opportunities.

NOTE: Be prepared for a lot of walking on this tour, because there is much to see in Lower Manhattan near the former World Trade Center site.

The Award-Winning OnBoard Tour Format

The tour guide will accompany you the whole way. When you get off the bus or boat at a stop, the tour guide will hop off with you. No other tour in NYC offers this powerful benefit. No other company offers guided visits to the 9/11 Memorial. This one fact will dramatically improve your visit to New York City because you won’t just “see” the city — you will truly “experience” the city. You will have one tour guide assigned to your group of about 30 people, and that tour guide will stay with you throughout the tour. She’ll ride the boat with you, she’ll narrate your bus tours, and she’ll walk you through various attractions to make sure you don’t miss the little things that make a difference – especially in the 9/11 Memorial.
