    Excellent tour. Our guide was knowledgeable. The history of the big financial institutions, while sitting and looking at them, was memorable. Our guide knew where to take the perfect pictures (of the bull, of fearless, of the NYSE, etc). The pace was leisurely. It was quiet due to COVID and many workers still working from home. The tour was outside and inside (the Oculus is very cool). Our guide knew how to navigate the buildings to be inside for a good portion of the tour. It was a memorable tour, and I high recommend it.

    Richard has to be our best tour guide in New York and we have been to almost every attraction here. Definitely have to request for Richard if you are planning on taking the Wall Street Financial District tour or if any tour he has to offer. He is very knowledgeable about basically everything. If you are confused about where to eat definitely go to any of the places he recommends. We appreciate you Richard!

    Richard was very thorough and told us many interesting facts about Wall Street and the area. We had a great time walking and he gave us many rest breaks (we were pretty tired from days of sightseeing.). He also took our photos and recommended great places to eat. It was the best and easiest tour yet. So worth the money.
