Itinerary
See the famous facade of the NYSE, the largest stock exchange in the world, as you learn about its historic roots and how it shaped global financial history in ways no one thought possible.
The Federal Hall we’ll visit isn't the original, but this is the place where George Washington took his oath of office. But the current building is historic too, a Greek Revival masterpiece built in 1842 that once served as a customs house.
Hear the surprising story of an NYC banking dynasty as you admire this impressive building inspired by Italian piazzas.
See the towering steeple of beautiful Trinity Church, but don’t miss the historic churchyard in its shadow. Here, Alexander Hamilton lies buried.
Pause to reflect at one of the most beautiful memorials in the country, with its bronze parapets and two symbolic waterfalls. Your guide will share stories of resilience, sorrow, and hope that defined this day for New Yorkers.
Tour the Canyon of Heroes at Battery Park, and learn about ticker tape parades in the place where they were born.
See the famous symbol of American commerce, often called the Wall Street Bull, and snap a photo to commemorate the occasion!
This Beaux-Arts landmark was built in the early 20th century to collect duties. Learn about its history and significance as you admire its architecture.
See outside the Castle Clinton National Monument, once a fort to protect New York Harbor, and enjoy panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty across the bay.

We started on time and Amy our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about our points of interest-NYSE, Wall Street, Trinity Church, 911 Memorial which included the Oculus in the #3/4 tower, and the charging bull. Amy gave us very clear directions on getting on the boat for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Amy also paced us well so we didn’t feel rushed.
This is the 911 World Trade Center tour. The survey seems broke in that I couldn’t select it so had to Put under this Manhattan one Ross was a great tour guide. I leaned a huge amount about the history and found him so interesting and informative. Great personal stories too

James was a wonderful tour guide through the various points of Ground Zero/911 Memorial. He gave a realistic guide to the days of and after, providing moments of brevity where appropriate.

In our very limited time in NYC, I wanted to maximize our way to see the sites efficiently. Cale guided us through the city with ease and he was filled with so much knowledge! With our small group he was able to answer all our individual questions and kept the day at a fun and comfortable pace. We learned so much, laughed, got our steps in, and had a great time! Would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Cale for a great day exploring NYC!

Our tour with Ross was incredible. It was so meaningful to learn about the history of the World Trade Center, the events of 9/11, and the aftermath from a native New Yorker who was in the city that day. He was also fantastic in accommodating my elderly and disabled parents. It was such a meaningful day.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear Ross made your experience so meaningful through his personal perspective and knowledge. We're especially pleased that he was able to accommodate your elderly and disabled parents, helping make the day comfortable and memorable for your family. Thank you for joining us.
Tony, our guide, was very informative and knowledgeable. Only suggestion is that he wear a headset or microphone.
