About this activity

The streets surrounding Wall Street are some of the oldest in the city. They occupy a special significance in American history, as so much happened in just a few city blocks. From the first Dutch settlers to the high-stakes action of the Stock Market, New York is a city built on commerce, and Wall Street is its heart.

Accompany us on a one hour and 15-minute English-language walking tour and learn about the 400 years of history that lead to modern Wall Street from the Dutch trading outpost to the humble beginnings of the NYSE to the current financial markets with an English-speaking guide.

See where high-powered meetings take place, where billion-dollar deals are negotiated, and where the fate of our economy is determined.

Get a glimpse of where the "captains of industry" and Wall Street's "master of the universe" live and work. Be inspired by how some of the biggest US financial institutions were built by immigrants and their entrepreneurial spirit.
