Wall Street Inside with a Trader Walking History Tour
Description
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.

We had a great time on the tour. Dana was full of interesting facts and information. It was a real insight into the financial world. Would highly recommend.
Helen thanks so much for taking the Wall Street Tour - you and your son were amazing guests!
Wall Street commentary by active traders was full of learning. Capitalism never gives in to terrorism. And investing requires a strong heart, not knowledge. This tour has made the investment agenda clear.
We had such a fantastic time with Dana! Even though it was a bitterly cold February day—so cold that my power bank actually froze and stopped working—Dana was right there on time and ready to go. She has an incredible insider’s perspective. She shared the fascinating history of Wall Street’s evolution and gave us insights you’d never find in a movie. Beyond her knowledge, Dana is incredibly kind and open-minded; we truly enjoyed every bit of our conversation with her. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Wall Street. It was the highlight of our trip!
Thank you so much!! I absolutely love giving the Wall Street walking tour and I am so glad you felt the love.
Dana is an acceptional guide. We really enjoyed the tour and found it very informative. It was the perfect length especially on a frigid day
Dana is amazing, learned so many facts about buildings and how financial decisions came to be. Walk by current and former financial buildings and events. Highly recommend!
Thanks for joining my Wall Street tour today! I love showing people this part of the city. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in NYC
Dana from Vibe NYC Tours was the best tour guide ever! Not only was Dana able to show us history of the buildings surrounding us, she was able to tell us personal stories, because..... Her dad was also a Wall Street trader of 40 years, so her and her brother would joke about what they traded on that her dad said would be fordin in his day AKA the NASDAQ. Her energy was infectious. Should would openly highlight her personal beliefs of why a building should have been kept Vs the votes at the time. If I could pay her to be my friend is would 🤣
lol I'll look you guys up when I finally make it to your side of the world! Thanks for taking my Wall Street tour, and discovering the horrors of some of the historic buildings we've torn down ;)
Verry good tour. Our guide had a fulminant Knowledge about the wallstreet. Absolutely to recommend. Ursula from Munich
We had a fantastic time on this Wall Street tour with Dana! She’s an experienced trader with so much insider knowledge, and she explained everything in a way that was fun and easy to understand. We not only learned a lot about Wall Street’s history and markets but also enjoyed her energy and humor. Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for this wonderful tour! Coming from a family that is deeply connected to Wall Street, Dana was able to give me truly unique insights into the Financial District. With her passion and expertise, she brought its history to life: from New Amsterdam to the Gilded Age, through 9/11 and up to today. An unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for taking the Wall Street Tour and for the kind words! This is a passion tour for me, I absolutely love meeting new people and talking about the biz and trading and the history of the world I grew up in!
Dana was a fantastic guide, who followed up with some local recommendations after the tour was over. As a native New Yorker I walked away with a deeper appreciation for my hometown.
Angel, thanks so much for taking the tour of Wall Street. It was fun chatting after the tour, I hope you and your partner enjoyed your staycation.
