Great Tour, even more so if you are a fan or student of Musical Theatre. - Very interesting tour to get more information on the history of Broadway. Our guide Luke was very knowledgeable on the topic as well as giving insightful stories based on his experience as a performer. Would thoroughly recommend.

Broadway walking tour - Patrick, our actor/singer guide was fantastic. We were the only ones who showed up for the time slot and he gave us a private tour. He was very knowledgeable about everything about the theaters including the shows and famous actors. Also had a great personality and very expressive. One time Patrick broke out into song and had a beautiful voice. We loved this tour and highly recommend it.

Fun and Interesting Walk Through The History Of The NY Theater District - We had a great time on our tour of the NY theater district with Sean. We happened to be the only people who booked that particular tour that day, so we actually got a private tour!
Sean was very interesting, and kept things moving at a nice pace. The tour was both fun and very informative, and Sean took the time to answer any questions that we had. It was a fun and unique experience!

Fun and engaging Broadway - Patrick was engaging and knowledgeable. Too bad it was soooooo cold. If we could have settled in a space protected from the elements we could have enjoyed it more
