The Financial Crisis Tour was incredibly engaging and insightful. Our guide, Emily, did an excellent job explaining the causes of the 2008 financial crisis in a way that was easy to understand and fascinating to follow. The tour was well-organized and took us to key locations linked to the crisis. Emily’s storytelling and clear explanations made complex financial concepts easily understandable and interesting. She also encouraged questions, which made the experience interactive and personalised. I highly recommend this tour to anyone curious about the 2008 crisis or finance/economics in general. Emily’s expertise and passion made it a memorable and educational experience!

James did an excellent job with the tour and I learned a great deal about the Financial District history. I saw things in that area which I never saw the entire time I visited NYC.
