Description
Discover the origins of New York City on a private tour of the Financial District. Visit Trinity Church, Wall Street, the 9/11 Memorial, and Fraunces Tavern with a professional driver/guide.
Begin your experience with a pickup in Manhattan and a drive toward the Financial District. Your first stop is Trinity Church, a centuries-old church surrounded by glass towers. Inside the gates, find Alexander Hamilton’s grave and a moment of quiet in the city’s oldest neighborhood.
Next, take a short walk around Wall Street and the Charging Bull, where iconic financial institutions sit alongside national monuments. From the New York Stock Exchange to Federal Hall, this is the birthplace of American capitalism.
The most powerful stop comes at the 9/11 Memorial Plaza. Reflect by the twin reflecting pools, set where the World Trade Center once stood.
Finally, your driver/guide will take you past Fraunces Tavern, one of NYC’s most historic taverns. Though best known for Washington’s farewell to his officers, it also played a key role in the early days of American politics and trade.
Your driver/guide will then return you to your hotel or drop you off for further exploration.
