Privé 9/11 Memorial Tour met NYPD First Responder
Beschrijving
Ervaar Ground Zero door de ogen van een gepensioneerde NYPD first responder die er op 11 september 2001 was. Deze privéwandeltocht biedt een persoonlijk en respectvol perspectief op een van de belangrijkste dagen van New York. Onder leiding van een gepensioneerde NYPD-officier en Ground Zero-overlevende, deelt de ervaring verhalen uit de eerste hand, persoonlijke herinneringen en de realiteit waarmee eerstehulpverleners tijdens en na de aanvallen worden geconfronteerd. Uw Gids deelt zeldzame Ground Zero-foto's terwijl hij u langs belangrijke locaties rond het World Trade Center-terrein leidt, waaronder plaatsen die veel bezoekers over het hoofd zien. Leer meer over de reddings- en herstelinspanningen, de wederopbouw van Lower Manhattan en de blijvende impact van 9/11. De tour begint bij St. Paul’s Chapel en gaat verder door het 9/11 Memorial gebied, inclusief de Survivor Tree, FDNY Ten House en andere betekenisvolle locaties die verbonden zijn met 11 september. Dit is meer dan een sightseeing tour - het is een persoonlijke ervaring begeleid door iemand die het heeft meegemaakt.

Reisroute
St. Paul’s Chapel opende in 1766 als een outreachcentrum voor de groeiende gemeente van Trinity Church. Het was een “chapel-of-ease” voor degenen die niet wilden lopen een paar blokken naar het zuiden langs onverharde straten naar Trinity. Een decennium later verwoestte de Grote Brand van 1776 de eerste Trinity Church, maar St. Paul’s overleefde, dankzij een emmerbrigade die van de Hudsonrivier tot aan het dak van de kapel liep. Tot de tweede Trinity Church in 1790 werd herbouwd, maakten velen, waaronder George Washington, St. Paul's tot hun spirituele thuis. Op 30 april 1789, nadat Washington de eed had afgelegd om de eerste president van de Verenigde Staten te worden, ging hij van Federal Hall op Wall Street naar St. Paul's Chapel, waar hij diensten bijwoonde. Saint Paul's speelde een cruciale rol tijdens 911 voor de huisvesting van eerstehulpverleners en een plek van familie om te zoeken naar hun geliefden
Doorkruis de Oculus op Ground Zero, de voormalige locatie van het World Trade Center Mall, een van de routes die overlevenden gebruiken om via de metro aan de ingestorte gebouwen te ontsnappen. Luister naar de verhalen van dapperheid en opoffering om 100's overlevenden te evacueren die vastzaten toen de North Tower viel. Observeer de verborgen architectonische details die de geschiedenis van de site gedenken die de meeste bezoekers missen.
Loop de trappen op van hulpverleners van 911 Hero terwijl ze naar overlevenden zochten met de diepten van het verwoeste winkelcentrum Westfield World Trade Center.
Noord & Zuid Toren Memorial Pools : In januari 2004 werd het ontwerp van architect Michael Arad en landschapsarchitect Peter Walker, Reflecting Absence, gekozen als winnende inzending. Hun ontwerp is voorzien van twee watervalpoelen omringd door bronzen borstweringen waarop de namen van de slachtoffers van de aanslagen op 11 september en de bomaanslag op het World Trade Center in 1993 staan vermeld. De zwembaden liggen op een plein waar meer dan 400 moeraswitte eiken groeien.
De Oculus is het middelpunt van The World Trade Center Transportation Hub. Na 12 jaar bouwen en constante vertragingen opende het uiteindelijk op 3 maart 2016 voor het publiek. Ontworpen door de beroemde Spaanse architect Santiago Calatrava, overtrof het gebouw van 4 miljard dollar de oorspronkelijke schatting met 100%! In totaal is het WTC Oculus 350 voet lang en meet ongeveer 75.000 vierkante voet winkelruimte. 180 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10006, Verenigde Staten
We eindigen bij FDNY Ladder 10 House

Dennis was a wonderful tour guide. His first-hand account and personal photos from the days/weeks immediately following 9/11 were informative and moving. We learned a lot about the original architecture of the towers, his experience as a first responder, and the many ways the new architecture of the site honors what came before.
I really enjoyed the Mafia tour with Jay. It was very informative and interesting with lots of stops and snippets of history and storoes about the mob around NYC and also stories about her time with the NYPD. The tour started with a delicious meal of meatballs and spaghetti and ended with canoli pastries also delicious

Jay was our guide for this walking tour of NYPD history and the mafia history of NY. We started an early dinner at one of the oldest Italian restaurants in NYC, John’s @ 12th Street. The spaghetti with meatballs was excellent. The history of the restaurant very colorful. Very interesting local stories, historic events and Jay splashes in her own experiences as a LEO. Jay is engaging and very animated. Never a boring moment. We finished up the evening at Caffe’ Roma in Little Italy for one of the best pistachio canollis I’ve ever eaten.

We had an amazing tour with Dennis around all the sights related to 9/11. He was able to give an in depth personal experience about the day and the events that followed which was extremely insightful and emotional. There were many places we visited that aren’t known by many companies and Dennis was able to show us and explain their relation to 9/11. Overall can definitely recommend booking this tour!
It was truly my pleasure to share personal experiences with you and your family. I enjoyed spending time together.
