      Throughly enjoyable and Charlie kept us all entertained. He has great knowledge and personal stories - only complaint he walked too fast and many of us struggled to keep up!

      A wonderful whisk through western art from ancient times to contemporary times.
      Chris was amazing and extremely detailed in his tour. He took us through a bit sized tour of western art from ancient western art to contemporary western art and taught me quite a bit. He made it fun and informative and let us briefly roam around a few galleries a few minutes at a time in between. I can tell he is extremely passionate and loves art which is great to have in a tour guide.

      Great way to experience a lot of NY's treasures.
      What an awesome way to experience the 3 boroughs. We experienced and learned so much about New York from Kevin in just one day. He is a wonderful guide who has a tremendous amount of knowledge, with some humor too. I highly recommend taking this tour with Kevin. And take his recommendation and get one of the very tasty at Cancun Deli Grocery.

      Highly Recommend Sean
      Although it wasn't the best day to go on a tour (cold and rainy) Sean made the tour fun. He was enthusiastic, funny, personable, and provided a lot of good information and back stories that kept us listening and captivated. Loved the stories about some of the immigrants coming to America and being processed at Ellis Island, especially the one about Annie Moore, the first person to be processed there at age 15. Sean possess a wealth of information and truly enjoys doing what he does. Highly recommend Sean, you will not be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      Amazing Sean, lady Liberty and Ellis island 5*
      Wow!! Sean looked after us throughout the entire trip to Statue of Liberty and Ellis island. His commentary was informative, interesting and well versed. He really made Ellis island and the crossing from Europe come alive in our mind. We’ve had 2 other trips on trip advisor one in Thailand and one in turkey but without doubt this was the best ***** thank you Sean, much love from Essex ❤️

    Great Tour! Very in depth, Peter Sullivan was a fantastic tour guide, extremely knowledgable about all of the theatres that we stopped at. He broke up the facts and information with renditions of songs from shows that had played at each theatre (great voice by the way Peter!). All in all great tour, well worth it :) highly recommend booking this tour if you love theatre, musicals and Broadway. Even better if you love all 3!!

    We opted for this 4pm tour on our first full day in Manhattan as a party of 8 ( 4 kids 12-17 ). Great start to the trip. Our tour guide was the lovely Clare, whose 'natural New Yorker' came out as she walked us -left- around the city and made us laugh. Her facts and local history made for an engaging walk that didn't drag. Despite her own misgivings, she was truly loud enough and did a great job at pulling a group of strangers together to enjoy the delights of theatre land. We all thought she was fantastic and loved the tour. We booked through the go city pass with ease ahead of time and had no issues scanning tickets on arrival. Would recommend this tour without hesitation. Thank You again Clare.

    PS we went back to the Firehouse 🔥🔥🔥

    Excellent tour! Our guide Peter was knowledgeable, funny, and a great singer!
    We are visiting from British Columbia, Canada and we visited the Museum of Broadway same day and it was a great combo as we then got to see the places and hear stories of how those mentioned at the museum tied in.
    Will recommend to anyone visiting New York with even a little interest in Broadway.

    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!

    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!

    I had an amazing time on the Broadway tour! The guide Peter Sulluvan was wonderful, making the experience both fun and informative. It was so exciting to explore the Theatre District and learn about the history and behind-the-scenes stories of the iconic Broadway shows. The tour was well-organized, and the guide’s passion for theatre truly shone through. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

    As first timers to this amazing city we’d only seen the iconic Times Square on TV. We weren’t totally sure what the tour would consist of, but getting an acting professional like Abigail to give an insider’s perspective on this district was a great way to initiate the uninformed. The walking tour began with a short history lesson on Times Square itself and as we progressed though the surrounding theatre district, Abigail regaled us with stories of these famous theatres and actors. There were lots of stops to rest and listen as the heat was a tad excessive that day. My husband, who no one would describe as a theatre buff, enjoyed the walk and felt a little better informed about this area we’d only viewed onscreen. Our guide also gave some insider tips on the current Broadway offerings and how to get a seat at some of the hot ticket plays. This tour gave us a flavour of New York and afterwards we could chat up Abigail on got some great tips on where to grab dinner.

    Peter was clearly really knowledgeable and passionate about Broadway and the theatre. He was funny and played well to his audience gaging us well like a professional performer. He was kind, honest, approachable, and very, very knowledgeable about all things theatre, as well as the area. Thanks Peter! 😁
