Great tour with Mickey!! - Mickey was great!!! We had a problem finding tour meeting spot and she called and came to get us at Times Square and walked with us to the meeting spot. She was very good at giving details about the history of Broadway.

Good trip with lots of theater facts and funny anecdotes - A really good experience with a sweet and enthusiastic guide who had a lot of theatre knowledge and personal experience. It was a very warm trip as it mostly took place outdoors, but the guide did his best to get us in shade and air-conditioning. A tip for those of you looking for the guide at Times Square: ours did not have a big sign, but could be recognized on the cap and bag with the company logo.

Perfect Mix - The tour led by our guide Cullen was a perfect mix of history, architecture and broadway backstage... Cullen took us to places that we had not seen on our own after being in New York on our own for 4 days of touring. His access at the behind the scenes facility was a special part of our trip and helped us better understand how broadway works.

More than we could’ve asked for! - AJ was an exceptional tour guide! A native New Yorker, with lots of fun behind the scenes knowledge of Broadway & fun stories to share. We especially loved the opportunity to visit an active actors rehearsal studio - it made my daughter really visualize what it would be like to pursue her dream! Thank you, AJ - your energy & passion for the city was palpable!

Informative view on the theaters of New York - A really informative tour in relation to the some of the history of the original theatres. Largely the information wss on point, but I felt there were some moments where the tour guide went off on tangents that were maybe not so closely related to the history of Broadway. Our guide (AJ) was super energetic and ready to answer any questions, and we all really appreciated his energy and passion. I would recommend this tour if you want to learn more about some of the historical Theatres in New York
