TOURS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE TOURS This is a wander more than a tour, meaning we don't follow a fixed route or a script. Instead, we take input from the group, guide, and the city to tailor the experience to those present, making it truly memorable and unique. On this food tour of the Financial District, we'll eat and drink at some great spots, and we'll also honestly explore how Wall Street really works, and how New York came to have the highest concentration of millionaires and billionaires of anywhere on earth. Your mind and belly will be full.
