Overview
Your tour guide, an experienced actor and director (who you will find carrying an orange flag), will give you the Broadway experience from an insider's point of view. Learn about the greats like Ethel Barrymore, Judy Garland, Humphrey Bogart, and Julie Andrews, who have trodden the boards and taken a bow on stage. You’ll also discover more about the area itself and how it rose from its humble beginnings as a horse-trading district to the shining star it is today.
The Broadway Walking Tour highlights
Feel the excitement of catching a ‘big break’ as your guide fills you in on what it takes to make it in the theater business.
Visit legendary Broadway locations, including Sardi’s, Shubert Alley, and the Edison Hotel.
Get chills from stories about the ghosts that still haunt the theater boards, including a real-life “West Side Story” that took place in Hell’s Kitchen.
Plenty of showbiz gossip, trivia, and history.

For Broadway lovers
Evi FPeter was an exceptional guide, taking us to many of the famous Broadway Theatres and introducing us to their history - who 'made it' on the stage and shared many stories. He gave us an insider view of the audition process and made it a personal experience by sharing his talents with us. Highly recommend.
very interesting
KarinaI enjoyed knowing the history behind the theaters and the area. it gives more sense to everything.
Etwas für Nostalgiker
BirgitUnser Guide aus England war wirklich nett. Wenn man ein Fan der alten Klassiker ist und sich für die Anfänge vom Broadway und ältere, kleine Theater interessiert, ist man hier auch richtig, aber das ist bei uns leider nicht der Fall, daher war die Tour nichts für uns.
