5.00We loved this tour! It was great to get "on the ground" knowledge about the history of Broadway. We also enjoyed talking to our guide about any questions we had about current shows and how it all works. We were lucky enough to get Roxie on her first ever tour! And we would never have known it was her first. She was amazing! Great experience for theatre lovers. :)

5.00Had an amazing time with my husband and kids!!! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and while I’m a Broadway nerd(!!) the hubs and kids aren’t, but they were super into it. Perfect way to spend time before our matinee.

We learned so much about Broadway and the famous theaters! Our guide was knowledgeable, fun, and kept us moving!
