Wall Street Insider Tour with a Finance Professional
What your day looks like
Come explore the beginnings of the Big Apple right here in NYC's Financial District. This immersive tour is led by former traders, bankers, brokers, and other Wall Street veterans who’ve worked in the financial trenches and seen it all. They’ll share firsthand stories and guide you through over 400 years of local history. From New York's earliest days as a Dutch trading outpost to its rise as a global financial leader, they’ll make these streets come alive with firsthand stories. You'll walk the streets where billion-dollar deals are made and see the hallowed institutions where the fate of our economy hangs in the balance. There’s history, drama, and more than a few surprises along the way — like how a cleanup with the best intentions let criminals evade detection for over a century. Join us on this educational and entertaining walking tour, and we promise you’ll never think of Wall Street the same way again.

What travelers are saying
The guide was very knowledgeable, but the weather was very cold and windy. He required prompting from my wife to move indoors for some of his history explanations that did not require being outdoors. He also spent about 10 minutes on a personal story about a practical joke with a former co-worker at a brokerage house where he worked that did not have much relevance to the tour.
