We booked this tour for my Mom and she had an amazing experience with Katherine. She went above and beyond, giving her every detail of the area and explaining the history of Wall Street. We are very grateful that she enjoyed her time and we truly recommend the experience.

This was one of the best things I did while is was in New York. I was so shocked for the price I thought that it was just a short trip of Wall Street, We saw where they asked George Washington to become president. Plus tons of history dating back to 1600's. I would recomend to everyone as a MUST see,.. JIM

Our tour guide Larry was excellent. We walked away with more knowledge of Wall Street and the surrounding areas than we ever though possible. Very Very interesting. Would even take the tour again.

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Larry! It's can be easy to overlook the richness (no pun intended) of this district, and we are glad that we got to share it with you.
