Highlights

What sets my walking tour apart is my unique blend of personal experience, in-depth knowledge, and passion for the financial world. As the child of a floor broker who spent 43 years at the NYSE, I have an insider's perspective on the trading floor. After 250 hours of rigorous training as a proprietary day trader, I possess a deep understanding of trading vs. investing - let's talk golden crosses and Fibonacci's! As a native New Yorker, I bring an authentic and personal touch to the city's rich financial and cultural histories. And, most importantly, I absolutely love talking stocks and sharing my passion for trading with others—whether you're a seasoned investor or just curious, you’ll experience the markets through the eyes of someone who’s been immersed in them for a lifetime.

About New York City

New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
