Specialized group
tours for both adults and students


SANDY LEVITT founded Manhattan Tour & Travel in 1990 to design fun, affordable, educational theatre trips to New York City for high school, middle school, and college students.

Manhattan Tour & Travel later expanded its operations to include more adult groups and trips to Chicago as well. MT&T soon made a nationwide impression. In 1999 the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) inducted Sandy into its Hall of Fame, recognizing his contribution to theatre programs across the country. 

Community theatres nationwide have found Manhattan Tour & Travel a very useful partner in the growing business of fundraising trips, and MT&T's assistance has been a help to the American Association of Community Theatre (AACT) conventions held in New York City. In 2010, MT&T received the AACT Corporate Award, in appreciation for its nationwide support of community theatre.

Manhattan Tour & Travel's office is above the Helen Hayes Theatrefrom the street, you can see our office windows on the third floor, above the awning at the entrance to the box office. We're next to Sardi’s and just steps away from Shubert Alley, a real part of the Great White Way. Rock of Ages is playing downstairs, down the block are the Majestic Theatre (Phantom of the Opera) and the St. James (home of the new musical Leap of Faith), and across the street are the Shubert (Memphis) and the Broadhurst (home of the revival of Streetcar Named Desire). We are right here in the heart of the Theatre District to host your group when you’re in town—and the same is true for our guests in Chicago.

Our groups arrive as clients and return again and again as friends!
