It was awesome - Jacob did great! He was very informative. We learned a lot about Broadway and the people behind the scenes in the history of the buildings and why they have particular names.

Outstanding! - Our guide, Peter, was knowledgeable, warm, and engaging. I was traveling with my 10-year old daughter, and Peter made the experience memorable and educational for participants of all ages. I would recommend this tour for any theater lover looking to pack tons of great info into 2 hours - right in the heart of Broadway. Thanks Peter! Justin Nashville, TN

SO glad we didn't miss this! - The Broadway and Times Square tour was one of the best things we've done in NYC and is just really not to be missed. Our guide, Peter Sullivan, was not only knowledgeable and personable, he also kept all of us engaged and entertained while getting us around to the various stops safely and efficiently. We learned so much about the history of Broadway, the structure and ever-evolving world of live performance there, and many fascinating highlights about it, past and present. Even if you have never attended a performance or thought you might, this tour will delight you, and if you have, all the more so. Truly excellent!
