We walked around the New York stock exchange and Wall Street as James was very funny and informative! - It was great from the start, James was charming when we first met him and he was very knowledgeable. It was about 2 hours and we walked around Wall Street and the New York stock exchange as he was informing us about the historical contexts behind the crisis. The payment fee was definitely worth it because we left the tour learning much more about it.

Jess is perfect for this tour! - Jess was an amazing guide for this tour, since he’s a professor, he explained pretty complex concepts very clearly before telling about what actually happened. I personally don’t have much background in finance, but it was still interesting and clear. Me and husband are pretty introverted people, however, we still felt comfortable chatting with him. Best guide I ever had!

Well worth it - Went with my wife. I have an interest in finance and markets but not a professional. Jess was great. He was fun and engaging and his perspective was unique. We had a great time.
