Dana is a bomb.com tour guide that you must experience! - Dana was absolutely amazing. We were a smaller group and she tailored the tour to our personal interests. Her personal insights as a finance professional as well as her legacy in the NYSE were fascinating. Her integration of history from the early days of our country all the way up to recent history and even what's going on today helped to paint a complete picture of the financial world. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. BRAVO! The signup process was easy and the tour was well worth the $$$.

Detailed Review of Financial Crises (multiple ones) and Wall Street overview - The Financial Crisis tour with guide Jonathan was very informative! Only 4 people had signed up for the tour, so our group was small, but that allowed everyone to hear easily and ask questions. Jonathan is VERY knowledgeable about Wall Street, Finance, and Financial Crises. I originally thought that this tour was only going to be about the crash of 2008, but learned that there have been many more crises over the years! The tour would be particularly interesting for someone who loves finance. It was also interesting to learn the history of Wall Street and see the various buildings. A couple of notes -- There are no places to sit during the tour, so participants will be on their feet the entire 2 hours. Wear comfortable shoes! Also, Jonathan did a great job in moving our group to shaded areas when making stops - much appreciated on a hot sunny day!

Great information-rich tour! - I did this tour with Emma, who had expert knowledge on the history of the mortgage crisis of 2008 that had had major implications for the world economy. Emma knows that complicated stuff so well she made it fun and easy to understand. She shared lots of historical facts about the Financial District too. I highly recommend this tour to those interested in reaching beyond the superficial tourist-oriented material that is normally shared in basic tours.

Brilliant tour of the financial district with Dana - How good was it to share stockbroking experiences with such a knowledgeable person as Dana. Being a retired broker, fixed interest trader and vice presentment of Citi smith Barney and Morgan Stanley in australia, i also have many experience to share with Dana. Certainly interesting to get the history of wall st and the US financial markets from a local prospective We also had a school group join us albeit late, however i was very impressed with the way Dana conveyed the importance of financial literacy to the group of teens Well rounded informative tour of the US financial district Big thank you Dana
