Not the best
Our tour guide didn’t know anything about Ground Zero or the surrounding areas. Very disappointed in the lack of information
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. Our Ground Zero and World Trade Center Tour is designed to provide visitors with historical context and insight into the events of September 11 and the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan. We take comments regarding guide knowledge and presentation seriously and will share your feedback with our management team for review. We strive to provide an informative and engaging experience for every guest, and we regret that this was not your impression during your tour. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Tour provider never provided tickets
Very good tour guide but the provider refused to provide tickets despite being included in thie activity.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour guide and found the guided portion of the experience valuable. However, we would like to clarify that your booking was for the Ground Zero and World Trade Center walking tour only. Admission to the 9/11 Museum was not included in the package you purchased. The tour description and inclusions clearly specify whether museum admission is part of the booking. We're sorry if there was any misunderstanding regarding the tour inclusions, but our records indicate that no 9/11 Museum upgrade or museum admission tickets were purchased as part of your reservation. Thank you for joining us, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify this for future travelers.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ground 0 and World Trade Center Tour with 911 Museum Upgrade: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Ground 0 and World Trade Center Tour with 911 Museum Upgrade cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ground 0 and World Trade Center Tour with 911 Museum Upgrade take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Ground 0 and World Trade Center Tour with 911 Museum Upgrade worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ground 0 and World Trade Center Tour with 911 Museum Upgrade?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ground 0 and World Trade Center Tour with 911 Museum Upgrade suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ground 0 and World Trade Center Tour with 911 Museum Upgrade?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ground 0 and World Trade Center Tour with 911 Museum Upgrade start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
