About the Tour

Head to the birthplace of America’s political and financial might: the Federal Reserve, Federal Hall, and Wall Street. On this 90-minute walking tour, you’ll parade down Broadway’s Canyon of Heroes in the footsteps of royalty, presidents, and famous athletes, and find out how New York’s famous Charging Bull statue found a permanent home outside Bowling Green. You’ll discover how the aviator ‘Wrong Way’ Corrigan ended up flying 28 hours to Ireland instead of Los Angeles, and why more men died while imprisoned by the British than on the battlefield during the Revolutionary War.

Other highlights on this tour include:

  • Standing on America’s most prestigious street corner, One Wall Street
  • Joining the chants of the Occupy Wall Street protesters in Zuccotti Park following the 2009 financial crash
  • Plotting the largest gold heist in history outside the Federal Reserve, where more gold is stored than anywhere else on earth
  • Hearing the bell ring at the NY Stock Exchange, where fortunes are made and lost daily
  • Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Fearless Girl statue that was only meant to spend a week in front of the Charging Bull, but became a permanent feature
  • Gazing up at Trump’s other tower, America’s number one location for financial scam artists

From seeing the scars of the 1920 Wall Street bombing, to hearing about JP Morgan, the man who inspired Monopoly’s Uncle Pennybags, this tour has something for everyone.

CREDITS: The additional voices recite actual quotes, performed by actors. And by actors we mean our dear friends and neighbors who work for beer & wine: Tom Eich, Mattie Goldberg, Clara Marshall, Penny O'Brien, Paul Safsel, Bob Tracy, Lisa Wagner, Josh Wallach, John Williams, Sofia Williams.

Instead of merely guiding you through a neighborhood, what if an audio tour could transport you though time, and make you feel as if you were actually there at some of history’s most memorable events, hearing from fascinating characters in their own words? TellBetter tours are written and produced by Tom Darbyshire, a published author and Emmy-nominated storyteller, who uses actors, sound effects, music, and dramatic dialogue to create powerful “theater of the mind.” True tales of love, loss, laughter, treachery, tears and triumph.

Tom spent decades working in New York City as Executive Creative director of BBDO, the world’s most award-winning advertising agency. His work – including Super Bowl commercials and TV spots with celebrities like Muhammad Ali, Cindy Crawford, Alec Baldwin, Shaq, and Mikhail Gorbachev – scored trophies in all the major creative competitions: Cannes Lion, Clio, Addy, Art Director’s Club, One Show, D&AD, London International Festival Obie, Webby and more. Tom learned to craft captivating stories in short time frames; now he brings those storytelling and broadcast production skills to the world of audio tours.

Maybe that’s why his tours rank in VoiceMap’s Top 10 for downloads, sales and followers.

At TellBetter tours, we tell better stories.
