Important information

How much walking is there?

We cover about 1 mile at a leisurely pace, and the walking route is fairly level.

Is this tour accessible?

This tour is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.

Do we go inside any buildings, such as the NYSE?

This tour is mostly an outdoor walking tour with a chance to visit inside a few buildings. The New York Stock Exchange has been closed to visitors since 2001.

Do we need to understand finance to enjoy this tour?

We find those who appreciate finance and current events enjoy this tour even more. However, this tour is designed with a general audience in mind, and it’s great for families as well. You don’t need to have a financial background to have fun and learn on this tour. Questions are encouraged!

What is the rescheduling policy?

We understand plans change. You can always change your tour 24 hours or more before you tour. We offer a 100% refund 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.

What if it rains?

Our tours run rain or shine, so please check the local forecast to plan. In rare cases when we have to cancel for extreme weather, we’ll offer you the chance to reschedule or give a full refund.

What about gratuities?

Tips are always appreciated but never expected. They’re a great way to tell your guide they did an awesome job and show your appreciation.

Highlights

More information

Come explore the beginnings of the Big Apple right here in NYC’s Financial District.

In less than two hours, we’ll cover over 400 years of history, from New York’s earliest days as a Dutch trading outpost to its rise as a global leader on the financial stage. You’ll walk the streets where billion-dollar deals get 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. For example, you’ll learn how a cleanup started with the best of intentions let criminals escape detection for over a century. Each tour is led by a Wall Street insider who can share firsthand stories from “inside the trenches.”

Join us on this educational and entertaining walking tour, and we can promise you’ll never think of Wall Street the same way again.
