All about the Financial District Tour
During the 3hr Financial District Tour our guests will walk the streets and learn over 300 years of history as they listen to the stories about events that shaped the former colony into a powerful and electrifying city of today.
Enjoy breathtaking views of the Brooklyn Bridge and The Statue of Liberty from a public park, yet a hidden gem—where local office workers take their lunch break during warm weather and we sneak in our visitors…. Who knows—time permitting we might be sneaking in a slice or two ourselves too!!
We also pay homage to another founding father, Alexander Hamilton, interred in the Historical Gravesite surrounding the famous Trinity Church. We learn how the unique topography of the city changed over the course of 400 years, walk along some of the oldest streets in the city and see where the NYC mayor works.
