Was very impressed with the knowledge, excitement and professionalism by our tour guide, Beverly. It was an intimate personal tour of the history and interesting stories of the area. Well worth the price and more - excellent value. Took my teenage son on his 15th birthday... As a theatre lover, this was the top off on a great few days... More

I took this tour with my mother and 12 year old daughter, all of us being theater lovers. We all thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hours we spent with Tim Dolan on the tour! He was extremely personable, professional and entertaining. His knowledge of Broadway, current and historical, was very detailed and impressive. We could tell that he put a lot... More

I took this tour on Wednesday morning with my 12 and 15 year old theatre-loving kids. The two hours were so interesting that the time passed quickly and no one complained about being tired despite having gone to bed late after a performance the prior evening. Tim Dolan's knowledge of the history of the broadway houses was excellent, and the... More

I took the Broadway Up Close Walking Tour with my two buddies from Chicago on a lovely Thursday afternoon with Tim as our guide. From the very beginning, we knew we were in for a treat!

Went on the tour with my wife and two teenage daughters. We had a great time - Beverly was our guide, and she did a great job. Thought it was a good value also at $30 each, in an expensive (and great) city. Highly recommend!

While internet searching for a few plays to attend, I came across this tour. Trying to fit this attraction into our schedule was a challenge which Tim met graciously. Even though we saw two highly acclaimed plays, this was the HIT of our visit. Our tour guide, Beverley, was informative and brought these old houses to life with her stories... More

Our group of three found this tour to be one of the best! Our guide Beverly shared her wealth of Broadway knowledge and made the two-hour tour a delightful Broadway experience!

My Wife and I are big theatre folks from Ga. Beverley, our tour guide gave us enough information in the first 15 minutes about Broadway to make it worth the price of adission. If you like theatre this is a must tour!!

What do you do in NYC with two teenagers (13 and 17) when you don't want to shop? This Tour was the perfect answer. It was interesting, fun, we got our exercise in, and Mikey, our guide, was great. His stories were fascinating, and we loved hearing about his own performing experience (I asked him if he had done any... More
