New York Financial District and WTC Art and Architecture Tour

Our Build Tours event will take you on a journey throughout the stunning sights and structures that define this iconic neighborhood. Led by Dr. Ivan Shumkov, you'll uncover the hidden gems and fascinating history of the area. This in-person, 2-hour tour will meet at SeaGlass Carousel, Battery Park and continue walking along Broadway until reaching the World Trade Center.
