Very Good experience - We certainly enjoyed our tour with Andrew. My wife and I were the only ones in attendance that day due to the colder temperatures, but Andrew was a true professional and he had a lot of energy in his presentation. I am in the investment industry and found it quite entertaining. My wife is not in the industry and found it very informative. His use of the pictures helped her tremendously. He also was a very talented photographer and knew exactly where we needed to stand for him to get very good photos on our IPhones.

Great entertaining tour with some education too. - Phillip was a great guide. His work experience on Wall Street added a unique perspective to the tour. Might have wanted a bit more history of how it all started rather than how the markets work. However the group seemed engaged so that could have been me. Overall well worth it.

Best tour guide ever! - Richard is the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He’s super passionate and knowledgeable and an actual insider. We had the best time and he made sure everyone took photos and answered everyone’s questions. It’s a great overview of the financial district and focuses more on the modern history including 9/11 which was super interesting.

Great Tour, Highly Recommend - My wife and I had a wonderful time on the Wall Street Financial District Walking Tour with Richard, a former Wall Street employee and superb storyteller. He was welcoming, informative, and engaging, with a great sense of humor. He shared fascinating anecdotes about the stock market and explained complex financial concepts in a way that was easy to understand for people with different backgrounds and levels of finance knowledge. He maintained a lively pace throughout the tour and kept us entertained the whole time. I highly recommend this tour.
