This tour exceeded our expectations - James was a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable and informative guide. Having worked for Goldman Sachs for many years he... More

Tour took you around the finance district. Found it misleading to say it was about the financial crisis....this was mentioned in passing in one sentence..,,.

I must say that I’m flabbergasted!

We explained how AIG sold insurance on these CDOs using Credit Default Swaps (CDS), which led to their requiring $185B in government... More

James includes lots of historical information and caters to all participants, whether they know about the industry or not. He also... More

Our tour was James. For a person who did not come from a business/financial background, I find that this tour was very interesting with all the stories behind certain buildings and their owners. James uses a microphone with a speaker which made his explanation loud and clear. Overall, I enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone who would... More

If you can only do one tour while you visit New York City, this is the tour to take. The Wall Street Experience tour guide Tom made the day fun and informative. What we learned and what we saw we would not have accomplished on our own. Tom has an amazing knowledge of history, current events and fun facts. A... More

My husband and I took the combination Financial District/Ground Zero tour guided by Tom who far exceeded our expectations as our guide. His excellent knowledge on these subjects, much of it first hand, and his genuine enthusiasm in educating us definitely made this tour one of the highpoints of our weeklong visit to NYC handsdown! Thanks again, Tom!
