This was hands down one of the best guided tours I've ever had. My 18 year old son and I met Richard for a tour of the financial district. Richard is amazing. He is friendly, polite, professional, and packed with information. If you come away from this tour with any questions about the financial district it is your fault. Richard goes out of his way to tailor the content to your interest and your questions. When you want more, he slows down and goes into detail. When you want to move on, he moves on. Stop thinking about if and book this tour!

Richard our tour guide was absolutely amazing and our kids 9 and 12 loved the tour. It was an educational tour and Richard was passionate about the tour. He knew all the good picture spots and took great pictures for us. Kids loved the placement maps Richard used to explain concepts to kids.

Ok listen, if you‘re visiting New York and you’re remotely interested in getting to know Wall Street and the Financial District then you should absolutely not miss Richard’s tour! I went on many sightseeing tours in my life, but let me tell you that this tour is one of a kind. Not only does Richard provide deeper insights into the financial system sprinkled with some nice to know fun facts on top, but he is also one of the nicest, most charismatic guides I have ever met with a deep understanding about the topics and actual experience (since he used to work in this sector for many years). My friend and me really learned a lot and had loads of fun talking to Richard during our 2+ hour tour. I can only recommend this tour to anyone coming to visit the Wall Street and I‘m sure I will be doing it again during my next visit of New York. Thanks a lot Richard, it was a blast!
