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.

Great tour!!

Aveleigh_K, Mar 2019

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 :)

Interesting insights

Michael_K, Jan 2019

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.
