Outside the guard was a short with me for using my driver's license instead of my pasport for the government-issued photo ID you have to show to get in. So not a good start. As for the tour itself the previous tour seemed more organised and better guided, as after a flying visit to a vault our group was left... More

Visiting Federal Reserve Bank was included with our Wall Street tour. The combination was fantastic, since otherwise it needs to be booked 3 months in advance.

The tour starts with an also very interesting visit to... More

Really, it invokes some sweet dreams... worth looking just for this.
