Your guide has an insider's perspective, having worked at the World Trade Center, and shares insights you won't get elsewhere.

You'll see inside The Occulus mall where you can catch the Path Train to New Jersey or almost any other train that's part of the New York City Subway system. We'll visit the reflecting pools, original footprints of One and Two World Trade Centers. Across the street is the original globe that was in the center of the WTC plaza and was damaged on 9/11. We will then go through the underground passage ways of NYC Transit to see historic and informative art installations. This part will require one subway fare of $2.90 because much of the beautiful artwork is just part of the commute to and from work!
