Tour was conducted by James and he was very knowledgeable about Wall Street as he worked there for many years. Very energetic as well, it was pleasure to listen to him. He gave us many fun facts about Wall street. However, (to my liking) I thought there were way too many historical information about the different locations we've been through, even if what happened in the past helps better understand the present, the financial crisis information for instance were not enough present compare to the historical facts.

James was very informative of the history of New York City, The Stock Exchange, and even had his own personal experiences to bring the facts of history to light. We stopped in front of the raging bull which was fun. James was very thoughtful and had us stop inside certain buildings during the walking tour to have us warm up a bit!
