Excellent Broadway Walking Tour

5.00Joe Staton, and actor and producer (and originally from London, England) was our very knowledgeable tour guide, and he was excellent, providing us with details and first-hand back stories on several of the the theaters and plays on and off Broadway. Caveat: not for children; our 10 yr-old granddaughter lost interest, but it was an exceptional adult experience. Also, it was about Broadway, not Times Square in general, but that was fine; I would do it again just to pump him for more information, as it was obvious Joe knows his stuff and has "walked the walk."
John is a great guide
