What are people saying about Madison Square Garden

Adina_E, Apr 2023
Interesting and eye opening.
Our tour guide (I think his name is Alex) was excellent. Very informative and answered all our questions. The only downside (not his fault) was not being able to see locker rooms - due to COVID. I would have liked a little more info on the history and historical concerts/events held there. This was my first time ever being at MSG and now I want to return for a show, concert or game.
Linda_M, Sep 2023
Madison Square Garden a must
Great way to see all of Madison Square Garden including the freshly laid ice rink. And seeing the change rooms of the Knicks and Rangers teams.
Randy_G, Apr 2023
Would have lived a locker...
Would have lived a locker room visit but they don’t go there since Covid started. Eric was an awesome tour guide.
Ailbhe_D, Aug 2023
Worth every penney!
We went on the 12.45 tour and it was so great! Interesting to learn about the history and see all areas of the garden you wouldn't normally get to. The tour guide was brilliant he was so knowledgeable, friendly and energetic.
