This tour is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.

What is the rescheduling policy?

We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund or the option to reschedule up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.

When should I get there?

Plan to show up 15 minutes early. The tour starts promptly, and you may not be able to catch up if you arrive late.

What if it rains?

Our tours run rain or shine. If there’s extreme weather and we have to cancel, you’ll get a full refund.

Are gratuities included?

Tips aren’t included but are always appreciated by our guides. If you think your guide did an outstanding job, a tip is a great way to show that.

More information

Join us on an eye-opening journey through the world of Wall Street, where the echoes of the 2008 Financial Crisis continue today.

You’ll travel with Wall Street insiders — traders, economists, back office workers, and more — who will demystify what happened during the crash with plain language. Learn the truth of the events that led to the subprime mortgage crisis right here in the Financial District where it all went down. If you saw “The Big Short” and were surprised that so many many people could be so wrong with so much money at stake, this tour explains how it happened.

This tour isn’t just about 2008, though. We’ll walk through the history of New York as we wander the streets of Lower Manhattan, from the scars of the city’s first terrorist attack to the skyscraper race. And of course, we’ll grab a photo with the Wall Street Bull.

Join us, and let’s unravel the mysteries of Wall Street together!
