Gordon Gekko told the world that greed is good, but there's much more to Wall Street - and the (former) Financial District - than finance and greed! Dutch settlement, the British, and the Revolutionary War may come to mind. Yes, we'll talk finance on this tour. Sure, we'll explore NYC's Dutch roots, the Redcoats, and the Sons of Liberty. But this old part of New York City is also a saint's birthplace, a Lenape hunting trail, anarchists, the invention of takeout food, vandals, an infamous ghost, the former home of a wild turkey, immigrants, and obscure monuments. It's dark alleys and twisty streets and secrets. This tour, then, is a spotlight on unexpected Wall Street.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this walking tour?

A: Nope, there's no age restriction for this tour! It's suitable for everyone, but just keep in mind that younger kids might need some adult supervision, especially if the streets get crowded. It’s a pretty relaxed pace, so it should work well for families too. Just be ready for some walking!

Q: What should we wear for this walking tour? Is it really casual?

A: Casual is definitely the way to go! Wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking a lot, and dress for the weather. If it’s rainy, bring a lightweight rain jacket. The streets can be uneven, so avoid heels or anything too fancy. Just be ready to enjoy some history!

Q: What happens if it rains? Will the tour be canceled?

A: They usually run the tour rain or shine! If it looks really bad, they might reschedule, but make sure to check their cancellation policy beforehand. Personally, I found the tour really interesting even in light rain; it made the atmosphere more dramatic! Just be prepared with an umbrella.

Just booked the Unexpected Wall Street Walking Tour for my dad's birthday!

I’m super excited! I’ve heard amazing things about how this tour dives deep into Wall Street's history beyond finance. My dad loves NYC history, and I think he'll get a kick out of the ghost stories and all the quirky facts they cover. Plus, it's free which makes it even better! Anyone else had a great experience on this tour?

Thinking about the Unexpected Wall Street Walking Tour for my history buff friend!

I’m looking for great gift experiences, and this one really caught my eye. The combo of finance and history sounds intriguing! I wonder if it’s suitable for someone who’s not super fit though? Anyone feel like it was too much walking?
