A great time experiencing a historical landmark! - Was really surprised by the history of the theater. It was awesome getting to walk on stage. The folk hall of fame was a little smaller than I expected - but it was amazing to hear the stories of the featured performer and see the intimate look at their life. I wish we could have heard more music of other performers in the hall of fame though. Staff was awesome and we would go back again!

Private tour is really worth every buck - Experiencing this gem of Boston history while being litterally alone in the place is really a one-of-a-kind afternoon. Ankitha, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to our questions and specific needs. She made sure to give me time to translate everything for my non-english speaking girlfriend, and answered patiently to every question we had and rephrasing if something was litterally lost in translation. Her easygoing attitude made it feel like doing the tour with a friend. We also had plenty of time to take all the photos my girlfriend wanted. Also, if you have the chance to have Ankitha as your guide, make sure to ask her for restaurant recommendations, as they were really good for us.

Fantastic! - This tour was a gift for my husband. Seeing his face light up and the expression of awe he had as he saw the Americana section and the Life in Six Strings section was worth every penny. For me, I grew up going to shows at the Wang Theatre, and being able to hear some of the history and see the dressing rooms and stand on the same spot on stage as some of my favorite performers - it was just amazing. Thank you so much for offering this experience to the public!

Where Music Meets Theater - I stumbled upon this little gem of a tour after seeing it on my local news. My boyfriend is a guitar enthusiast so I booked it as a surprise birthday treat. The Wang Theater is one of the most beautiful buildings in Boston. To learn about its history was an added bonus to the guitar exhibit. Love the idea of bridging music with theater! The tour guide, Scott, was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. Looking forward to future exhibits at the Boch Center and also supporting the Arts!

Visiting Boston? Visit the Wang Theatre! - Visiting the Wang Theatre is an absolutely magnificent and unique experience. The theatre is not only beautifully restored to its original opulence, but is also filled with memorabilia from legendary musicians who performed there. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and shared so much of the Wang's history; one of the best guides I have ever experienced.

Wang Theater Tour - We booked this tour knowing that it would be worth it, but we were simply blown away by it. Scott was not only accommodating & knowledgable, he was also very charming and a pleasure to listen to. Learning about history of the theater, and its impact on Boston theater scene was priceless. Definitely a must for theater/history buffs!

Excellent Tour of the Boch Wang Center - We recently went on a private tour of the Boch Wang Center with a couple of friends. We had a wonderful time and learned a great deal. The tour guide/theater historian, Scott Towers, was extremely knowledgeable and did a wonderful job talking about the theater’s history and answering all of our questions. We were treated to a behind the scenes view of the American Music History museum and also multiple fascinating behind the stage parts of the theater. We highly recommend this tour of the theater.
