We had such a great time with Natalie! She was informative, warm and very funny! Her stories of the theaters and actors involved brought the whole experience to life. Highly recommend!!

We are a family of 7 (5 kids) who went on the Broadway tour on the day after Christmas. The tour was booked for the interest of 2 of our children and we were not expecting to particularly be taken with it as the rest of us are not particularly into the theatre. HOWEVER - we totally lucked out and had Alison England as our guide. Well, for my sports loving, theatre and culture phobic teenage son to turn to me and say that he was loving the tour because Alison was so hysterical summed it up for all of us. I can imagine that without someone like Alison this kind of tour would have bored us stupid but we had one of the most memorable evening of our entire trip. Alison you were hysterical, informative, brought the tour to life and made it unforgettable. Brilliant!

My family had a great evening with Alison touring several theaters on Broadway. It was very cold (-7) but Alison made sure we were warm most of the time. I personally enjoyed her sense of humor and the inside information about each venue. She's friendly and make sure everybody is on the same page. It was fun!
