About 🔎
Hello and welcome! My name is Iren, and I will guide you through the narrow streets of New York City's oldest neighborhood. We will discover the history of New York City, which started as a Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam and became a world epicenter of finance and invention. We will see the birthplace of the United States as an independent nation. You'll discover why Wall Street has that name and why beavers made it to the New York City seal. You will see such extraordinary landmarks as Wall Street, Federal Hall, the New York Stock Exchange, Federal Reserve, Trinity Church, Stone Street, Fraunces Tavern, Brooklyn Bridge, and spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty. If you are visiting New York for the first time, this tour is a must!
