Description

This tour begins near Fraunces Tavern, where American revolutionaries plotted against the British over 200 years ago. Continue to the 'best bar in the world' and discover how Irish and other European immigrants transformed early New York. Then, marvel at the grand Alexander Hamilton Custom House. Next, head to Wall Street, where you’ll encounter the famous Charging Bull and hear the fascinating story behind this guerrilla art piece. Pass by Trinity Church, a historic landmark and shelter during 9/11, then visit the iconic New York Stock Exchange to grasp the staggering amounts of money flowing through it every second. Further down Wall Street, uncover the controversies surrounding a landmark owned by Donald Trump, home to some questionable characters over the years. Stop by the Federal Reserve, housing the largest gold cache in the world, and glance at Liberty Tower, a former spy hideout during WWI. On your way to Zuccotti Park, learn about the Occupy Wall Street movement and its aims, before arriving at the 9/11 Memorial and the towering One World Trade Center. Despite all the new developments, you’ll find echoes of the past at St. Paul’s Chapel, built in 1766. The tour wraps up at City Hall Park, where you’ll explore the historic New York City Hall, Tweed Courthouse, and their connections to corruption and political intrigue.
