Thanks! Getting actors is an awesome idea :) On top of that, my tour is super easy to run. It's a lot more about listening to people and being aware of how everything's going than having set "talking points".

I have a couple bits about food, montreal, speakeasies etc but I find people are looking primarily for a good time over a highly informative tour. And even when I whip out the knowledge, only about half the people really hear since it's so loud in the bar. People love to hear "opinions" about how I feel about living here, more than any "fun facts". I may or may not have gone on passionate rants about why our bagels are better in presence of New Yorkers a couple times and it's been a hit.

I'll definitely look into expanding the empire next summer when the tourism picks up again.
