Wall Street Insider Tour with a Finance Professional
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 15 minutes
Mobile ticket
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.

5.00Fantastic tour, filled with interesting trivia from Jess, a former SEC lawyer. We came as a diverse family: two retired securities lawyers, our foreign-born son-in-law, and our eight-year-old smart and curious grandson, who was the one who asked to tour Wall Street. Jess kept everyone engaged, dealt wonderfully with all our grandson’s questions, and presented everything on multiple levels suitable for everyone. Highly recommended!!
Great tour experience

5.00Fantastic! In order to really understand the story of New York and finances, you need to know the story behind the buildings and the bull. James did a great job in telling the stories with good humor and all the facts. So worth the time!

5.00It gave a broad understanding of not only how Wall St became what it is today and how it operates but also information about the growth of the Manhattan area as a whole. The guide was a good communicator who certainly knew his stuff.
Highly knowledgeable...
