This tour was part of a four day total experience sold by the operator. On the first day we explored the Wall Street area in the late afternoon and we had a great time. I’m somewhat of a history buff and I even learned things. This is a great way to see many sites in one area. Just note the tour ends in a different place than it starts and there is a lot of walking. Overall a great experience.

My family and I bought this tour when we visited New York City last year in the fall. We really wanted to learn about Wall Street and see the 9/11 memorial so this tour killed two birds with one stone. You also learn about the Statue of Liberty but you don’t go to it. The seaport was fun as well and we got to see so many New Yorkers out and about. It is a good amount of walking though so be prepared for that. The guide was wonderful and answered all of our questions. I would recommend this tour to my friends visiting New York City.
