Great Tour! - Our high school son is very interested in stock market happenings so we thought we'd take the time to do this financial Wall Street Tour. It was fantastic! Full of interesting history of the stock market, but also the nation's history, New York history, and the area surrounding Wall Street. Dana was fantastic. The tour began on time and she was very informative and interesting. I highly recommend this tour for any families with school-age kids and adults. We paired it with 911 memorial and it was a great full day.

Financial Stock Exchange Tour - James did an excellent job with the tour and I learned a great deal about the Financial District history. I saw things in that area which I never saw the entire time I visited NYC.

Great insight into the financial industry - Really interesting tour, it was great to have a guide from the finance industry, James was not only informative but really gave a lot of the flavour of what it would be like to work there and what really happened. Also fascinating to see all the historical buildings and learn about them.
