What is Guerrilla Tours?
Guerrilla Tours is a company based in New York City that specializes in unique walking tour experiences given by trained actors. Our tours have two or more licensed guides, or performers, who tell the stories of the places visited using elements of scene work, storylines, characterization, and sketch comedy. Our tours are both entertaining and educational.
Who are you people?
We're just a bunch of actors "living the dream" who, in our spare time, got certified as licensed tour guides by the city of New York and are bringing our story-telling abilities to the history that makes our dreams exist. I know - DEEP.
How did the name Guerrilla Tours come to exist?
The idea for the name came from the fact that we, as tour guides, would be leading a small group of people around one of the largest and busiest cities in the world. Our small army taking on the Big Bad Apple on foot in hand-to-hand combat - guerrilla warfare style! Sounds exciting, huh?
What's the deal with the monkey?
He's our mascot - "The Guerrilla Gorilla". He was designed by a very talented actor/artist named Justin "Squigs" Robertson. Please stop by his website at www.squigsink.com to see more of his fantastic work. He's the Hirschfeld of our generation.
Who is Hirschfeld?

What is Broadway or Bust?
Broadway or Bust is our flagship tour that explores the Broadway Theatre District in New York City. We discuss it's origins and the many stars and legends that have made Broadway what it is today. We also follow a young girl's outrageous adventures as she tackles NYC with hopes of becoming a Broadway star.

I purchased tickets for Broadway or Bust! Now what?
You just meet us in Shubert Alley at the time your tour starts and prepare to have a blast!
Where is Shubert Alley?
It's the Alley next to the Shubert theatre. The Shubert theatre is located on 44th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue. You can't miss it - it's pretty big. But if you're more of a visual person, click here to see a map.
When you reach Shubert Alley, just look for an incredibly attractive person holding a Guerrilla Tours sign.
How long is the Broadway or Bust tour?
About 2 hours and a little over a mile in distance.
What should I wear?
Comfy walking shoes are a must!
If it's cold - bring a jacket, hat, gloves, etc.
If it's hot - don't bring a jacket, hat, gloves, etc.
If they're calling for rain - bring an umbrella.
Do I need to bring anything?
Bring your conformation code given to you when you purchased your tickets. Also, you might want to bring some water or a camera. They'll be lots of photo opportunities.
Do we take breaks?
Nope. We try not to, so use the restroom before we begin. We will take a quick photo break at the half-way point and there is a restroom right around the corner.
Will I be able to keep up?
Sure. We move at a moderate pace but our motto is 'leave no man behind'.
What if it's raining?
We give our tours rain or shine. Many of our tour stops are underneath marquees, etc. and are out of the elements. If there's a blizzard or something and we have to cancel, you'll be given the option of re-booking or a full refund.
Do you offer tours in other lanquages?
No - just English.
Can I tip my tour guide?
Please do! Gratuities are most certainly welcomed.
