We enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. This is just a tour walking around the theater district. You do not get to go inside any theaters.

Joe Staton, and actor and producer (and originally from London, England) was our very knowledgeable tour guide, and he was excellent, providing us with details and first-hand back stories on several of the the theaters and plays on and off Broadway. Caveat: not for children; our 10 yr-old granddaughter lost interest, but it was an exceptional adult experience. Also, it was about Broadway, not Times Square in general, but that was fine; I would do it again just to pump him for more information, as it was obvious Joe knows his stuff and has "walked the walk."
John is a great guide

John was a great guide with tons of knowledge. His love of theater comes out in the tour. He also knows a lot of history which adds great context. I’m not a huge theater fan but really enjoyed the tour

Patrick was engaging and knowledgeable. Too bad it was soooooo cold. If we could have settled in a space protected from the elements we could have enjoyed it more

Patrick, our actor/singer guide was fantastic. We were the only ones who showed up for the time slot and he gave us a private tour. He was very knowledgeable about everything about the theaters including the shows and famous actors. Also had a great personality and very expressive. One time Patrick broke out into song and had a beautiful voice. We loved this tour and highly recommend it.

We had a great time on our tour of the NY theater district with Sean. We happened to be the only people who booked that particular tour that day, so we actually got a private tour! Sean was very interesting, and kept things moving at a nice pace. The tour was both fun and very informative, and Sean took the time to answer any questions that we had. It was a fun and unique experience!

He was very knowledgable, and even though we already had a good amount of musical theatre knowledge, we still learned SO MUCH. So cool to see the theatres and hear the background info about them. Would recommend :)

We found our guide to be very knowledgeable of the history and annecdotal information regarding the various theaters in the Theater District. Another guide joined the group — apparently as part of a training exercise. Her presence was distracting, however, since the guide was more interested in talking to her and singing show tunes, than paying attention to the clients. She added nothing to the tour.

An excellent tour with knowledgeable guide. On the day we did the tour were the only ones. Some companies cancel if under four people have booked but the guide turned up and we had his undivided attention.
