Traveler reviews
The experience
The tour opens at The Independent with a drink in hand, then the walking part begins. Your guide covers the beginning of Broadway and takes you through the center of the theater district, pointing out the buildings, history and shows currently running in the area. You'll pass through Duffy Square, Shubert Alley, the TKTS Booth and learn about 42nd Street's wild past: the kind of detail that changes how you see the blocks you walk.
The two-hour window runs Friday and Saturday from 4pm to 6pm, which fits into an evening without eating up a full afternoon or running late into the night. At the end, there's an option to buy $1 wings if you want to extend the night. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and the guide speaks English. Children from age 8 can join, though only those 21 and older can drink alcohol: younger guests and non-drinkers get a cheaper ticket at checkout.
Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Youth (8 to 20 years). Children under 8 can't be included in the booking.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What exactly is Shubert Alley and why does it matter to Broadway?
Shubert Alley is a pedestrian passageway between 44th and 45th Streets that runs behind the Shubert Theatre. It's a historic gathering spot for theater-goers and performers and is included as a stop on this walking tour through the district.
Can I bring my eight-year-old if they don't want to drink?
Yes, children from age 8 are welcome on the tour. Non-drinkers of any age pay $35 at checkout instead of the full price, so your child can walk the district and learn the history without the alcoholic beverage.
Does the tour go inside any of the Broadway theaters?
The tour walks through the theater district's streets and alleys (Duffy Square, Shubert Alley, the TKTS Booth and 42nd Street), but the itinerary focuses on the outdoor landmarks and history rather than theater interiors.
Is there time to grab dinner before or after the 4pm start?
The tour runs from 4pm to 6pm, so you could eat an early lunch before and have the evening free after, or grab a late dinner afterward. At the end there's an option to buy $1 wings if you want a bite with the group.
