Private Historical Walking Tour of the Financial District

Overview

A very modern trading hub, it is steeped in American History dating back to the 17th century - both triumphal and shameful. Its iconic skyscrapers are built alongside historic buildings like the Federal Hall. From the American Revolution to the Slave Trade, the founding of the New York Stock Exchange to the Great Depression, becoming the global financial superpower to the tragic events of 9/11, Wall Street is full of the stories that have made, broken, and remade modern America, and the wider world.

Enjoy an immersive and fascinating private walking tour of New York City’s famous financial district known around the world simply as “Wall Street”. A busy and vibrant area filled with historic buildings and skyscrapers, it borders the bright lights of theatrical Broadway and is steeped in America’s history, both tragic and triumphant.

Since Frank is an architect, he is a treasure trove of information. He let us decide which structures we wanted to explore further.

Jason was extremely knowledgeable and he was able to answer all of our questions. He kept us on track throughout the tour, and we covered so much ground from the revolutionary war through 9/11. I highly recommend for anyone interested in history.
