Funny and entertaining tour of Broadway Theaters - We already did the Statue of Liberty tour with Experience First and had a great experience so we decided to book their Broadway Theaters and Times Square tour and we were not disappointed. My 8 year old daughter who normally would tune out on tours said this was her favorite tour because the tour guide was so funny. Joe was our tour guide and he was great at explaining the history behind each theater and telling jokes. Given that we were in the Times Square area and it was really loud, his voice was loud and clear. He was also honest and didn’t hold back on how he felt about things. For example, he didn’t think much of Hamilton for various reasons and wasn’t afraid to explain it to us. We would rather hear honest opinions and be able to make our own choices rather than have things sugar coated all the time. While it was a hot day and we were concerned if the kids would be too hot walking around for 2 hours, Joe made sure we were either standing in the shade or inside a hotel with AC. We also got recommendations for great places to get cheesecake which was really cool. I’m just happy that my kids loved it and were entertained, which is not an easy thing. So Kudos to Joe.

Great tour of Broadway - Claire gave us a great tour of Broadway and Times Square on a swelteringly hot day. She even lent us a fan to use. It was really interesting to hear the history of the area and her enthusiasm was evident in every step.

Amazing! Thanks Jon! - Jon was the highlight of the tour. We arrived late, and he encouraged us to stay in touch so we could join at the second stop. He provided tons of information about plays as well as interesting tips about restaurants. He made the visit fantastic, allowing us to learn about the theaters, the plays, and the dynamics behind them. Thanks again for everything, Jon! You have two friends in Madrid whenever you want to visit!
