Walkin' Broadway was definitely one of the highlights of our NYC trip! Laura Nell enthusiastically took us around the heart of Broadway with the use of wonderful audio headphones. Broadway stars tell anecdotes about the people and theaters as Laura Nell interjects with more fabulous stories and music (by the way, Laura Nell has an amazing voice!) My 11 year old wanna-be broadway star asked to take the tour again the next time we visit the city. This is most definitely a don't miss!

Isn't it great to hear the stars tell their own stories? We think that those stories, the wonderful headphones and our talented guides like Laura Nell make our tour one-of-a kind! All the best of luck to your budding Broadway star!
We can't wait to dance with you again!

Despite being weary and jet-lagged having landed the day beofre, this tour was a hoot and Raina managed to get us into the groove straightaway. It was a great introduction to Broadway and New York where 'anything goes'. Raina was a great guide and entertainer and regaled us with many stories as well as tunes. All our inhibitions, stresses and worries were erased during the hour and a half of fun, fun, fun. Highly recommended!

I'm so glad to hear we could relieve you of your pains! That's the power of entertainment. As you say, Raina is very talented at using our dynamic script and recorded audio to make an interactive experience that lets you forget the busy world - and see what's around you with new eyes. I hope the rest of your stay was just as relaxing!
Happy travels and a safe trip home,

This was just simply one of the highlights of our visit. Great guide - Allie - Met in Times Square 4pm - 97 of us quickly put into groups and off we went. We were told an amazing amount of interesting information, popped into 2 hotels with Broadway connections and just had the best of times. This is a must when in New York. Enjoy!

This is a really fun way to learn the history of Broadway.
Raina, our guide was so much fun.
My only negative was that I wanted one ticket and the website would only let me purchase two. I actually ordered through groupon and although I still had to order two tickets it was a cheaper way for me to do this.
If I had had to purchase two tickets at full price I would not have done the tour.
Please sort this out.

LOL.. fantastic! you walked, dance, sang and heard stories! When we started we said, ' what if our tour about Broadway can be more than a tour...what if it can be a musical! I'm glad Raina was able to 'direct' such a great cast! thanks for Walkin' and more!! Don

We were a group of five women and Sara S. showed us a wonderful time! A couple of us had background and knowledge of theater and a couple of us did not and we all enjoyed the tour equally. This tour is for everyone and the fun to be had is unending! Sara encouraged us to release our inner divas and we could sing, dance, and exhibit "jazz hands" along with the best of "em! I highly recommend this informative and fun experience to every and anyone!!

Our guide Sarah Summerwell is amazing! She made this tour come alive not only with her wonderful storytelling technique and knowledge but also with her singing and dancing down the street with my mom, who wanted to let loose! I highly recommend this tour -- and Sarah, specifically!

I totally recommend this activity. The personal headsets make the audio portion of the tour a breeze, especially with all the traffic noises in the city. My guide was very knowledgeable, personable, and interactive! I learned a lot of Broadway history and was proud of the Broadway facts I did know. Thanks!

We just did the Walkin Broadway tour with Laura this afternoon as part of the annual Jane's walks tours. As a native New Yorker I know most parts of the city well so it is always a treat to learn something new -- especially about a famous an area as Broadway and Times Square. Laura was energetic, interesting and fun. We walked through the Broadway area for 90 or minutes wearing audio enhancement -- something necessary in the very noisy part of the city -- and learned all about many of the theaters on Broadway. Through the audio headsets we heard songs and from other Broadway experts. If you are interested in NYC or Broadway this tour is great for New Yorkers or tourists.

Fantastic! We love taking part in Jane's Walk each year and it is always wonderful to hear from native New Yorkers about their Walkin' Broadway experience. I am so glad that the audio equipment was able to deliver our meticulously researched script to you despite the bustle of Midtown. Feel free to join Laura Nell or any of our other talented guides anytime!
Until we meet again,
