My daughter, her friend and I had the pleasure of taking a New York Broadway Tour (Act 3) for her birthday. We had a blast, despite the rain! Our tour guide, Mike, was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable about all things Broadway (past and present). He was eloquent and matched the level of craziness that my daughter has for everything on the great white way. We walked around the theater district, stopping at certain points for interesting tidbits and trivia. Mike had a tablet with him, on which he had uploaded pictures and videos relevant to the tour. It was helpful to have a visual to many of the subjects we were discussing. Although we are pretty well versed on many areas of entertainment and New York history, we learned SO many new things from Mike! I highly recommend this tour to anyone, no matter the level of knowledge! Thank you for a memorable birthday!

We visited New York during a heat wave and had to rush to meet our tour guide. It was certainly a case of “summer heat boy and girl(s) meet!” We were somewhat surprised to discover upon arrival that it was just the two of us and Mike, our tour guide. However, there were “no fits, no fights, no feuds and no egos!” We were “Amigos! Together!” Mike’s knowledge of musical theatre, both past and present, was sensational and his enthusiasm for his subject was infectious. We learned about ghosts, successful shows, unsuccessful shows and complete flops. The tour was advertised as lasting for 2 hours but, in fact, it lasted for 3 hours although the time passed in a flash. If you love musical theatre, this tour cannot be missed. The one thing Mike left us with was that you should “follow every rainbow, ‘til you find your dream”! Highly recommended.

Amada, our tour guide and founder of New York Broadway Tours told us many amazing stories about past and present Broadway Musicals and Theaters. She knows soooo much about it and communicates her incredible knowledge in an enthusiastic, fun way!! It was freezing (approximately 15 degrees, windchill much lower), so we went to the famous "Broadway restaurant" Sardi's with so many drawings of famous Broadway stars on the walls where she continued her stories. I had SUCH A GREAT TIME listening to her stories and looking at the pictures trying to recognize Broadway stars!! I will definitely join Amada on other tours!!
