Spend your morning discovering the heart of Manhattan with a local to show you its biggest sights, from the skyscrapers of Wall Street to the pools and engraved names at the 9/11 Memorial. Start with the Financial District to get fascinating insight into the history of finance, politics, and power in NYC (and the world) as you walk by famous sights like Federal Hall and Trinity Church.
Then head to the 9/11 Memorial, where you'll discover the impact of this day on the city and the world as you pause for a moment of reflection at the country's largest man-made waterfalls. We'll walk part of the Canyon of Heroes, visit many more beloved landmarks, and even glimpse the Statue of Liberty from across the bay. Then board the ferry to see the statue up close. You can tour the Statue of Liberty Museum and even continue on to Ellis Island if you wish. Return at your leisure.
The guided tour duration is 2-hours. Your trip to Liberty Island is self-guided.
Walking Tour Only: This option does not include a Statue of Liberty ticket
See the famous facade of the NYSE, the largest stock exchange in the world, as you learn about its historic roots and how it shaped global financial history in ways no one thought possible.
The Federal Hall we’ll visit isn't the original, but this is the place where George Washington took his oath of office. But the current building is historic too, a Greek Revival masterpiece built in 1842 that once served as a customs house.
Hear the surprising story of an NYC banking dynasty as you admire this impressive building inspired by Italian piazzas.
