Fantastic! Lots of knowledge by guide Jeff.
Jess was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and so nice!
The tour was very informative. The walking was great. The guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable and personable. The guide made the tour very enjoyable.
Fabulous tour. Grounded, funny, accurate, balanced and thorough. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a 60 to 90 minute walking tour of the financial district.
Jose was a great guide, he provided lots of useful information and facts about history of Wall Street and Financial district.
Our guide did an awesome job, really enjoyed the tour. It was packed with fun facts and history details that explained a lot of significant financial and historical events.
Very informative and fun, good value gor the $$.
I absolutely loved this trip. We spent an hour & half with our guide Ben. He was full of knowledge and history regarding all of the buildings and workings of Wall Street. Who knew there was so much. If you are interested in the financial history of Wall Street and the building it’s for you!
Great Guide by Ben very passionate and knowledgeable as he worked in Wall St for many years.
An interesting tour about Wall Street and its story. The guide was qualified, funny and explained everything about it. We leant a lot of things that we didn't know and at the end of the tour he gave us advice on how to go back to our hotels by subway, which was the best line to take.
Too many travelers (20) with only 1 tour guide. We booked it with 2 transactions . I thought we will have 2 guides. It is impossible for the guide to speak with 22 if us. Quite disappointed!
Wall Street guide was very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. Pace was good. Group size was great for us
The worst guide. Kept us in the sun talking about how many times he was fired from Wall Street firms for insider trading and other illegal moneymaking schemes. Gave us no history about Wall St functioning. Was a real waste of time & money.
Our tour guide was a man that worked in the Wall Street area for decades and he knew a lot of history of the area. What I thought was a one-hour tour was actually 2.5-3 hours. We saw everything advertised with a ton of information on the history of the buildings and people involved with the making of Wall Street. He was very organized, knowledgeable and prepared. Our fellow tour mates do not get high marks and had little regard for the tour leader and others on the tour, showing up late (with lattes in hand), leaving the group, then making us wonder where they were, then sporadically showing up. If we were at a show, you would call them hecklers. The guide treated them with respect and kindness despite a family of two girls that would rather be taking selfies of themselves and let us all know. Despite the one ill-mannered family, the rest of us found every minute fascinating. The one thing I did not expect was a very long line to get a picture of the bull. We saw it, took pictures, but literally would have been there another hour in line to get one up close. It was a great tour the last week of July, 2026!
Great! Thank you for the tour.
It was fun to get some history and facts behind the buildings we walked by. Having an insider’s view was interesting.
Great experience. Our guide Jess was very knowledgable and delivered the stories well.
I enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Jess, was incredibly nice had a lot of energy and mad sure the whole group was included. Very educational and fun!
James was a great tour guide, very informative and answered all questions. He stuck around after the tour as long as he could to talk to us and answer more questions. 100% would recommend!
A very interesting tour, good pace and Jess is the best and most knowledgeable guide!
Ty very much Jess, it was awesome!
Great tour with Jess! Thank you! Very informative!
Jess was great! He was very knowledgeable.
Fantastic tour, filled with interesting trivia from Jess, a former SEC lawyer. We came as a diverse family: two retired securities lawyers, our foreign-born son-in-law, and our eight-year-old smart and curious grandson, who was the one who asked to tour Wall Street. Jess kept everyone engaged, dealt wonderfully with all our grandson’s questions, and presented everything on multiple levels suitable for everyone. Highly recommended!!
Jess was amazing, a lot of insider stories and great fun
Jess was the most amazing informative tour guide ever. Give this man a raise
Amazing experience! Jess was fantastic. He explained things with a touch of humor and we enjoyed learning from him. Alicia and Julien.
I joined a small group of tourists lead by a guide called Jose. He is very knowledgeable and puts different historical facts together that paint a very nice picture for listeners! I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about the beginning of trade and the stock market in the US!
Fantastic! In order to really understand the story of New York and finances, you need to know the story behind the buildings and the bull. James did a great job in telling the stories with good humor and all the facts. So worth the time!
It gave a broad understanding of not only how Wall St became what it is today and how it operates but also information about the growth of the Manhattan area as a whole. The guide was a good communicator who certainly knew his stuff.
Highly knowledgeable engaging passionate tour guide. Very interesting historical perspective on financial history of US. Highly recommended. Jose was great even shared free museum tickets.
James was a fantastic tour guide, we really enjoyed the tour, he was very knowledgable with a big personality and we learnt loads, he tried to keep us out of the rain and the whole tour was great, thanks James!
I wasn’t sure this would be for me as I have no interest in finance however I was wrong.I found our guide informative ,clear and entertaining.She kept us moving so it wasn’t agony standing.It was really interesting and I would highly recommend as I learnt a lot.
Jess was our guide. He was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. The tour was well paced and relevant to our audience. Jess was great!
Jess was exceptional. He took great care of our group of college students and was exceptionally engaged throughout the tour. He answered questions, had great trivia, and was so kind. 10/10 would recommend!
He guide is very knowledgeable about all the history. Educational to anyone. A worthwhile experience
This tour was honestly great. The guide knew his stuff really well, especially about Wall Street and the Stock Exchange, You can tell he really knows what he’s talking about but also knows how to keep people engaged. Definitely recommend if you’re in the Financial District and want something interesting without it feeling like a lecture.
Jess was great. We had a small group and were able to ask lots of questions. I loved the entire history of Wall Street and hearing so many details of the people involved. Highly recommend this tour if you’d like to learn about the area and architecture.
The Wall Street Insider Tour was very informative. Our guide, Ann, explained the history and background in a clear and engaging way. She was knowledgeable, well prepared, and described the historical events in detail. I can recommend the tour, especially because Ann did an excellent job as a guide.
Ann is as an engaging guide and good storyteller.
Tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable It would have been good if we had gone inside the NY stock exchange.
Excellent tour on Wall Street by Jess. Group of 24 pupils and 3 staff members from the UK. Excellent knowledge and engaging personality. Would 100% recommend.
José was an excellent guide. He explained everything about Wall Street very well and answered all our questions. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about Wall Street.
You do not go inside the NYSE but the guide was very informative. He was a great guy and historian for Wall Street. Most of all of the tour is outside.
This tour was okay but not really what we expected. We thought there would be more stories and interesting information from the guide, as a 'finance professional.' Instead, it was more of history and building tour. I like the financial district and some of the details we learned, but overall, we didn't love it.
Ben was super knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great combo of history and financial context. I Learned a lot! If only the weather had been warmer!!
Our guide was very nice, but was definitely not a “finance professional” in the way we were led to believe we would be getting. She worked in IT for companies who were on Wall Street. That’s not what we thought we were getting at all. The tour was more about the past and the history of Wall Street and not about what it’s like now. She was also a little hard to follow physically because she walked very fast and blended in with the crowd easily. Again, she was very sweet, but not the kind of professional tour guide we expected. I would definitely not recommend this tour to friends and would not choose it again.
A great guide kind with clear explanations and personal experience sharing I was happy to have a precise idea of the story of Wall Street
Jess was our tour guide. He actually is a retired attorney who worked for the SEC on Wall Street. He shared great stories about the history of the financial district as well as stories about some of the shenanigans! The tour was fun and interesting in spite of the cold weather! I recommend this tour to everyone who visits NYC!
