Our family really enjoyed the Broadway Up Close walking tour. Theresa was a great guide and we learned so many fun and interesting things about many beautiful theatres. It was fascinating learning about the ghost stories and history of the theatres. We asked a lot of questions and Theresa was happy to answer them all. We loved learning about Broadway... More

My little group of girlfriends has been coming to NYC for years, but this tour so different and fresh. It was hands-down our favorite part of a recent girls' weekend. Theresa was our guide, and was relaxed, intelligent, laid-back, and funny. She had great fun facts about each theater and/or production, both long-since-ended and current. This is a great activity...

It is an intensive 1.5 hour of inside stories, dramas, historical perspective and behind the scene of Broadway Theaters during last century. Tim, the Guide, was friendly, very informative and funny. He toured us around the theater district, stopping in front of influential theater places to give us the story behind them and of course some superstitions ones! He answered... More

As native new yorkers and seasoned walking tour veterans my fifteen year old son and I recently took Tim Dolan's "Broadway Up Close" walking tour. In the days that have passed we have already recommended the tour to dozens of friends. It is rare that a tour in its entirety has provided facts to a Manhattan raised "tourphile"that continued to...

Every year my grown daughters and I celebrate "Girls' Night Out" in NYC. This year the highlight was Tim's tour "Broadway Up Close." He knows so much about every theater, even the ghosts. This is a tour for seasoned New Yorkers and visiting tourists. Not to be missed!! Really!! Do it, sign up! More

Tim did a terrific job of identifying what it was we were hoping to get from our tour and he spent the next 90 minutes delivering everything we asked for. He has the up to date information on Broadway's current events, actors and shows as well as a plethora of historic knowledge about the Great White Way. I highly recommend... More

My nineteen year old daughter and I took our dream trip to New York, starting it off with a BUC tour with Tim. It was an excellent adventure in every way. Tim was personable, knowledgeable, funny and upbeat. He knew about the architecture, history, famous plays, ghost sightings, owners, and more, of the many theatres we viewed. He was also... More

Tim shared lots of information about the classic theaters of Broadway. He was friendly and ready to answer all kinds of questions. My wife and I both enjoyed the tour, as well as the reasonable Italian restaurant Tim recommended ( Don Giovanni's, West 42nd St.) Thanks again Tim. More
