Eric’s Tip: “Want to see even more Broadway ins and outs? Then the Broadway Theater Walking Tour is a nice option to do. During the tour, your guide, who is a Broadway actor, will take you to visit several theatres, tell you about the history, and you will hear all the stories of life on Broadway.”
