Broadway & Times Square with a real theatre pro — absolutely outstanding ! - We took a guided tour of Broadway and Times Square with Peter Sullivan, a genuine theatre professional, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. This isn’t the kind of tour where you simply walk past famous places and take photos — Peter makes you understand Broadway, feel its energy, and appreciate what’s happening behind the curtain. His knowledge is exceptional, but what really stands out is how engaging he is: the stories flow naturally, with just the right mix of history, behind-the-scenes insights, and sharp, funny anecdotes. You can tell he truly knows the industry — from how theatres operate to the details you’d never notice on your own. Even in the intense buzz of Times Square, he keeps the group focused and interested from start to finish. The pace was comfortable, the route was well planned, and Peter was attentive and happy to answer questions. We left with a much deeper appreciation of Broadway and the theatre district — and a big smile. If you’re even remotely interested in theatre (or simply want a tour that’s smart, lively, and genuinely different), book this one. Highly recommended. Five stars without hesitation.

Amazing Broadway tour experience - We did the insider Broadway tour with Peter Sullivan and had the best time ever! We walked from theather to theather and discovered and learned things we did not knew before. He ended the tour in a meaningful way: what would the future of Broadway look like? We were very touched and happy with the experience

Claire was the best - Claire showed my mom & I around and we had a great experience. We were the only people on the tour tonight and she waited with us to submit our wish for the ball drop. She clearly knew a lot and was super friendly
