Broadway & Times Square Tour with Tim - Tim was an amazing guide through the history and lore of Broadway and Times Square. The information was enlightening and Tim delivered with humor and a show that made the experience so much more enjoyable! We loved learning the history of some of the most famous places in Times Square and Broadway. We’d recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Broadway and Times Square — whether as newcomers or long time theater goers. It’s fun, and a great way to kill an afternoon if you love theater and history. Cheers!
