Great info on the theaters and who they were named for - John was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the history of each theater and sprinkled in Broadway superstitions and interesting stories. Highly recommended. Short- about an hour but lots of info in that time

private tour ;) - The tour was what we have expected. There was a lot of information about the Broadway and his theaters.
Especially our guide Joe was great. He is an actor, and you can feel that he like to give the tour.
We got lucky, that we got a private tour. Thanks also to the company, that the tour take place, even when there are just two people.
5 stars for the tour and for Joe!

Great to be guided by someone who works in theatre! - We didn't realise the tour was going to be with an actor so it was great to learn so much about working in the theatre industry. Our guide was lovely, gave us plenty of time to take photos, ask questions and tell us stories. It is an easy tour- not too much walking so good even in winter when it's cold. Very glad we did it :)
