Amazing Tour

I was lucky to have a nice small group with the roads pretty empty due to what's happening at the moment and performances being closed which meant we were able to go inside the entrances of the theaters.

Times Square and Broadway, a must see!

We had a great tour around Times Square and Broadway. Our tour guide Chris did an amazing job, telling us all about the history of this dynamic area and gave us some fun ‘insider’ information and tips about the theater world.
