Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this walking tour? I want to take my kids!

A: Great question! There’s no specific age limit for the Broadway the Tour walking tour, but it’s usually best suited for kids ages 10 and up. If your kids are into theater and stories, they'll likely enjoy it. Just keep in mind it does involve a fair bit of walking, so make sure they’re up for it!

Q: Do I need to dress up for the Broadway walking tour?

A: No need to dress up! It’s a walking tour, so comfort is key. I recommend wearing good walking shoes since you'll be on your feet quite a bit. Dress for the weather since part of the tour is outdoors, and layers are a good idea just in case.

Q: What if the weather is bad? Do they cancel the tour?

A: They generally don’t cancel for light rain, but if it’s severe weather, they do have a rescheduling policy. You’ll usually be notified a few hours ahead if there’s any change. I recommend checking the forecast before you go!

Thinking about gifting the Broadway walking tour! Any thoughts?

I’m considering this Broadway the Tour experience for my sister's birthday. She's a huge theater nerd and I think she’d love diving into the history of Times Square! I saw it’s about 2 hours long, and you get to use headsets to hear the guide. Has anyone done it? How was the experience?

Just did the Broadway walking tour, and wow!

I recently went on the Broadway the Tour walking tour and it was incredible! The guide took us through all these amazing spots in Times Square, and the stories about the theaters were fascinating. The audio headset was a game-changer—it felt like you were really part of the show! I’m thinking of gifting this to my friend who's obsessed with musicals.
