Jess was a great guide on this tour! - Jess gave us great insights into the development and history of lower Manhattan and Wall Street. It was lovely to see how engaged Jess was when talking about those topics. His personal history as an attorney, who had an eye on Wallstreet for 20 years, made it all the more authentic.

Great tour guide for Wall Street! - Jessie was fantastic! Having worked for the SEC himself and teaches history, so he brought that personal touch and experience to the tour that was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable and explained things in a way we could all understand. I thought my husband was going to be the only one getting anything out of the tour but I honestly really enjoyed it! Highly recommend this tour to anyone even remotely interested in learning about how NYC became the financial hub of the US. Fantastic.

Wasn’t the best, wasn’t the worst. - Wasn’t the best walking tour I’ve been on, but also wasn’t the worst. Lots of information and whilst there has been a heat wave this week so appreciate tours can be tough, just found the tour was more of a stand still and tell us information rather than walk and show us stuff as well as providing the information. Maybe it would be better on a cooler day.
