A Wonderful Walk Down Wall St. - James showed me all the historic sights around Wall St. and was kind enough to indulge all my questions. We discussed everything from the colonial era, to financial reforms throughout US history, to the inner workings of the 2008 financial crisis, into the modern day. James is a very knowledgable and generous guide who I highly recommend. 10/10!

Informative Tour Provided by a Wall Street Professional - Our Financial Crisis Tour of Wall Street hosted by James was well done and very informative. James did an excellent job of talking about various buildings and areas around the Financial District. Our group was small and James took the time to answer many individual questions about various topics. This tour is recommended for people interested in financial items, or just general early American history.

We walked around the New York stock exchange and Wall Street as James was very funny and informative! - It was great from the start, James was charming when we first met him and he was very knowledgeable. It was about 2 hours and we walked around Wall Street and the New York stock exchange as he was informing us about the historical contexts behind the crisis. The payment fee was definitely worth it because we left the tour learning much more about it.

Jess is perfect for this tour! - Jess was an amazing guide for this tour, since he’s a professor, he explained pretty complex concepts very clearly before telling about what actually happened. I personally don’t have much background in finance, but it was still interesting and clear. Me and husband are pretty introverted people, however, we still felt comfortable chatting with him. Best guide I ever had!
