Explore two sides of New York City on a walking tour that visits Wall Street and the 9/11 Memorial. While the dynamic history of Wall Street can be confusing to many visitors, visiting on a guided tour makes it easy to learn more about the capital of world finance--making the outing ideal for history and finance buffs. Incorporating a stop at the 9/11 Memorial adds a must-see NYC site to your day. My highlight was the Raging Bull read more

Money and power - you can smell it in the air. This is the heart of the largest economy on the planet (for the moment). Trillions of dollars flow through here every business day. It's awesome! While there is a lot of security to keep stupid people from driving in and doing something stupid and lots of wandering cops and security, it's still surprisingly open and accessible. And that's what makes America great. You can still protest (yes, the #Occupy folks were sitting on the steps of Federal Hall), but you can also be a plain old boring sightseer. When I was here last, there was a massive American flag draped over the front of the New York Stock Exchange. This time, it's just a very imposing and very boring building. Don't forget to walk down Broadway to the Charging Bull, which is still at least a little accessible for taking pictures like a tourist! It used to be possible to rub his "boy parts" which is supposed to give you good financial luck, but they've blocked that off. *sad face* read more

Four stars because I am not usually a fan of guided tours. It exceeded my expectations- the guide kept it interesting, was dynamic, and I learned some new things along the way. A lot of the things I could have seen on my own without a tour guide. read more

This tour was part of our new york city pass... And I'm glad we didn't pay out of pocket. Perhaps it was the specific tour I was on... But our guide did not have any microphone and our group was about 24 people... She really tried to make it fun... But it was difficult to stay with her, as her voice did not project. Also our tour was in English and Spanish... And that really took us out of the story as well... It was a little overwhelming to listen to English then again in Spanish.. I wish they discloses that it will be in both languages earlier. The problem is... As you are walking.. You see other tours with the guide using a portable microphone and they provide the guests wireless headphones. A few people in my tour were like... Why does he have it and we don't. Also the visual aids need a little upgrade. They use a folder with printed pictures.... But the pictures are held in a really old notebook, with old sheet protectors. Made me feel like we picked the wrong tour company. This is nothing against the tour guide she was funny and inviting... But limited because of the equipment she used. I would do a tour again... But not with this company until they correct these issues. read more

I am a sucker for old-school ornate and art deco grandious style architecture and Wall Street is a wonderfully historic place to view it. You can walk these streets in the financial district and constantly look around, and up, in awe. Gigantic columns, statues, and structures on every building. I feel as if the modern era buildings have very little personality, while the old structures built years ago have a real soul, and most still look amazing. Trinity Church is such a beautiful gothic style structure that has the old world brushing up against the modern era all around it. Breathtaking and beautiful. It is also home to Alexander Hamilton's grave site. Close by is the Wall Street "Raging Bull" that is a big tourist picture spot right in front of Bowling Green Park. As we walked by there were a large group of people all jockeying for position to pose for pictures. This area always seems to have an electricity in the air as it is the center of commerce. Fortunes large and small are being made and lost in minutes. Movies and TV scenes are shot here. Books have been written about it. There is so much history here it is worth taking a tour of the area to check it out. read more

What is there to say. This is the precursor to every financial market in the world. Movies have and are constantly being made about this place. Fortunes, private and national, are made and lost on a daily basis in this small section of Manhattan real-estate. This is a must visit area when visiting the downtown area. read more

Wall Street Walks - The Bull - Tours Near Me - New York, New York

While touring New York, a visit to Wall Street is a necessity. The banking headquarters of the U.S., one can find sky scrapers for about every financial company they've ever heard of. Be sure to check out the Bank of New York at 1 Wall Street. Inside, the lobby is decorated in beautiful red Rookwood Tile. Security is stationed outside, so you may not get a close up look, but it is visible through the window. Also along Wall Street, one can find the infamous Raging Bull statue. Unfortunately, there are a never ending stream of tourists taking photographs with it, so if you want your picture too, you'll just have to jump in on a whim and have some random person on the other side of the bull. Be sure to check out Trinity Church as well for it's beautiful architecture and Alexander Hamilton's grave site. I also recommend taking this walking tour of Wall Street to learn more about the in-depth history of the Financial District: http://www.wallstreetwalks.com/ Viewing Time: 2 hours read more

If you are visiting the Financial District in NYC for the first time and/or want to learn more about Wall Street, you should most definitely sign up for one of these tours. Our guide, Steve, apparently worked on Wall Street for more than 30 years, so he always answered questions with a high level of expertise. I definitely walked away satisfied and much more knowledgeable. Note that the entire tour consists almost entirely of walking outside, and only stopping when the tour guide has something interesting to say about one of the buildings on the route. Moreover, you don't actually get to go inside the New York Stock Exchange building, but that's due to security restrictions enacted after 9/11. The only caveat I have is that they use radios to make it easier for you to hear your tour guide. Essentially, every visitor gets an ear piece, and the tour guide has a radio that he talks into. Think of it as a real-time audio tour. In theory, this is a great idea (you can hear the tour guide speaking even if there are a lot of people around), but the radio devices are pretty low in quality, and several people on the tour had trouble. They also seem to have a pretty low range, which means if you don't stay close to the tour guide, you won't hear anything. Overall, if you have any interest at all in learning more about Wall Street and its associated institutions, I highly recommend making a reservation! read more

I'll give it 5 stars once the bums are out & all that garbage is picked up on this " luxurious " part of Manhatthan.

The energy on this street is amazing... not to mention all the good looking men in business suits!! BIG PLUS!! We saw Trinity church where Alexander Hamilton was buried and the famous Raging bull but trying to get a picture in front of it would prove to be impossible due to the crazy amount of tourists hovering around it. Either way.... it was a great experience and must see on a trip to NYC. read more

We booked the "Secrets of Downtown" tour on Tuesday, June 12 2018 from 10:00am - 11:30am. I can say without hesitation that I recommend this tour and would buy from this company again. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative. He was very passionate about history, and we felt that passion come through on his tour. One person in our group was using a wheelchair, and our guide made every effort to make sure we were able to navigate the sidewalks/streets/curbs without issue. This is a great tour, and I would use Wall Street Walks again. read more

Alexander was our tour guide and did a really awesome job! Tour was packed with very interesting facts, not only about the Wall Street. It never got boring and it was the perfect balance between walking and listening. read more

This was a very interesting tour. We had a great tour guide. He had a great working knowledge of the financial district. If you come during the winter dress warm, you spend 95% of your time outside. If you have tourists in your group that speak a foreign language, it takes a little bit of time to get them set up on the audio sets. It may be rectified if when booking they had a drop down menu with your language preference. Overall this was a great experience. If your planning your visit purchase your tickets to the 9/11 Museum, as the tour end across the street from the museum. read more

Yesterday I finally made time to go to the Financial district to look at all of the building/company that is made of of the famous Wall Street. I been watching CNBC since 1998 so I am pretty familiar with all of the famous sight but this time I can see everything life. It was a great feeling of being part of history and what one of the most famous Financial District in the world. It a must if you follow Wall Street!! FYI-if you ever take a picture of the Bull statue then go very very late because during the day time there are tons of people and majority don't know what a line is lol read more

Wall Street has all the important and historic buildings and sites . A place you must check out if you happen to be in New York .

I signed myself and my fiancé up for Wall Street Walks' ghost tour to get us in the Halloween Spirit. We live in Brooklyn, so we usually don't bother with local touristy stuff, but I think we're both glad we bothered with this! Our tour guide, Steve, was the real deal; born and bred in New York, he has 20+ years at the New York Stock Exchange under his belt, a charming New York accent, a friendly demeanor, plus a whole lot of knowledge about his city (feel free to check his facts, he's got em' down). Steve introduced us to the dark underbelly of the Financial District with stories of historic betrayals, suicides, and local hauntings. Add in the blustery weather we were having and you've got yourself a ghost tour! Highly recommended for tourists and locals alike. Ask for Steve! read more

You can just feel the energy and financial currents in the air! There's just something about Wall Street that you have to experience. I don't know what more I can say other than to come and check it out. It's across from the Trinity Church where Alexander Hamiliton is buried. read more

This walking tour was exceptional! Our tour guide truly loves what she does, and it shows! She is extremely knowledgeable and answered everyone's questions thoroughly and without any hesitation. We booked the Hamilton tour which is only offered once a month and ends at the Fraunces Tavern. During this tour you will get to see where he lived, banked, and was buried. When you finish at the tavern make sure you stay for a beer and a bite to eat. read more

What can I say it's The N.Y.C., thanks Will S. Didn't understand why someone wanted to pose with the Bull's balls, but to each their own!

As a tourist, I found this street very underwhelming. The Occupy Wall Street protest wasn't even really going on when I went (I think it was just a few people shouting random things, but I'm from Berkeley so that's normal for me) and the street was just not as lively as I thought it'd be. It seemed quite dead actually save for a busy Starbucks on a Friday afternoon. Oh well, someone invite me to their IPO please? :D read more

DING DING DING! There goes the stock market bell! If you are into architecture you should check this area out. The New York Stock Exchange is located on Wall St. and Net St. There is security so you won't be able to go up close. Also the infamous Bull is a thing to see, but don't waste your time standing in line to take a picture. There is also the Trinity Church which is such a beautiful structure. read more

What a great experience! Our tour was with John and he knew what he was talking about. This tour came with our New York Pass (which I also recommend to anyone traveling to NY) I personally think it's great to see roam by yourself, but it's also great having someone point out certain building and spots where history was made. read more

Being a local, I took my kids who never been to Wall Street to learn what's all the hype about. We were lucky to have Randy as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable. The tour takes about one and half hour. You are on your feet the whole time, walking the neighborhood, ending across street from ground zero. So prepare good walking shoes or sneakers. The street is full of people in black suits and everywhere you turn, it's big names and big financial institution. You can smell the money in the air. My young teenager told me after the tour that he wants to grow up working in Wall Street. I guess Randy's tour Is inspirational on an impressionable mind. read more

This tour was fantastic! It was well-paced and we got to see so many wonderful things in the financial district. Not only was our tour guide knowledgeable about the history of the area, but had first hand experience due to being an experienced financial analyst. Ned was fabulous and pointed out so many unique things on this tour. We got to see Wall Street, the Stock Market, the Trinity Church, Bowling Green, and went into the 911 Memorial Site. Definitely worth the extra money and time. Overall, a well planned tour with personal hearing devices. read more

Steve was awesome! Giving knowledgeable facts throughout the tour, with some no kidding New York attitude, and local knowledge to make to the walk that much better. Really enjoyed it. read more

While in NYC on a holiday, one of our desires was to learn more about the history of the financial district. We ended up booking a 'History of Wall Street' tour with 'Wall Street Walks', and were very glad that we did. Ned Callan was our guide; very knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you for the great history lesson!! read more
