Wall Street & Ground Zero Walking Tour

Explore the heart of New York's business and financial district and hear some of the craziest stories in city history.

We'll start in New York's early days, when one in four buildings was a tavern. And then we'll move to more modern times, when Wall Street traders bought long phone cords to swing at their hapless employees.

It may sound naughty, but it's nothing compared to the things politicians have done, pocketing kickbacks and taking corruption to new heights at City Hall throughout New York history.

Tour Tidbits

You'll learn about an aspiring chef who nearly destroyed the world's economy.

We'll pay homage to a furry rodent that made the city rich.

And we'll visit the restaurant that created the modern menu in the United States.

Visit Ground Zero of the World Trade Center Attacks

Pride, greed, and gluttony -- all the big sins play their part in this tour, but there are noble deeds as well.

The city did its best on the worst of days, September 11, 2001, when hundreds of police, firefighters, and ordinary people risked their lives to save others.

These New York City walking tours takes you to Ground Zero and tells all its tales.

NEW! We'll also visit the sight of the proposed Ground Zero mosque that has caused great controversy both here and abroad.
