Great time

Kelsey_B, Apr 2024

Cullen was the absolute best. We had a wonderful time! Got to see some really cool theatres, hear history, and see practice studios.

Incredible behind the scenes tour of Broadway - highly recommend!

Teri_H, Apr 2024

Our guide, Jessie Fahay, was phenominal. Her knowledge of the history of the Broadway scene was incredible, she was able to answer any question we threw at her, she had great insight and was a wonderful guide. I would highly recommend her to visitors of NYC!

Great tour with a knowledgable host.

Mikey was awesome. As a working actor, she is able to articulate the experience of Broadway along with the facts. Was a nice pre-event before taking my son to his first Broadway play.

Great Broadway Tour

LeAnn_M, Oct 2023

We loved hearing about and seeing the Broadway Theater District around Times Square and also the Restaurant district in "Hell's Kitchen". It was our second tour of the day, and we were a little tired of walking, but it was worth it.

Very good and informative.

Josefin_H, Aug 2023

We really liked this. Do this before going to one of the musicals and you really will make your whole Broadway adventure more real.

History and sights of Broadway

Laura_G, Aug 2023

Such a fun, history-filled tour. We especially enjoyed the stories about the theater development Shubert Brothers.

If you love theater this is a must-do

Kendall_M, Jun 2023

We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide Hannah was amazing, she was what made it so fun. Gave us all facts about the theaters and also let us ask so many questions.

Be A Star!

Larry_K, May 2022

We loved the information about Broadway history, Micaela was a treasure of history and trivia, and so enthusiastic. By far the highlight was doing a reading with my wife at the Actors Studio we visited. Although we didn't get the part, it was still great fun. Cool neighborhood to explore and dine at afterward.

Great “behind-the-scenes” overview.

Linda_H, Mar 2022

Our guide, Makayla, was very well- informed and shared a healthy amount of information. Appreciated hearing about various facets of Broadway productions, not just the show itself.
