Wow, what a great tour. It was a cold winter's day and I had booked late the night before (around 2am), but despite my late booking and despite the fact that I was the only person, the tour still ran ahead as normal. Even though it was a tour about Wall Street and the financial district, Richard still gave nice tips about what and where to go eat all around Manhattan. I also loved the fact that every place we stopped at Richard brought pictures and paintings to tell the history of the area and also about recent events - like where the first president was inaugurated, what the NYSE looked like when it first started a few hundred years ago, as well as the recent financial crisis. Richard never once rushed me because I was the only tourist, and helped take my picture every where. I felt like I became half a New Yorker after his tour because of all the fun facts h gave. I wish I time to do his other tours! Max stars is 5, I'd give this tour 10 stars! A must do in NYC!!!

I had a great experience with the tour guide Andrew. He knows a lot about the background stories of the buildings in Lower Manhattan. He also explains the history of this area in an easy way for me, as a non-native English speaker, to understand. Most importantly, he is such a friendly and knowledgeable guy. It was much more interesting traveling in Lower Manhattan with his guiding.
