Our guide Liz was absolutely superb! She was extremely knowledgeable and you could feel the passion she had about super heroes. A truly spectacular way to see the city from a different angle. Liz made us feel safe and added some special memories to our trip. Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide, Percy, was full of knowledge about comic books, related movies and New York in general. With some good humour thrown in too. Our 14 year old said it was his favourite part of the vacation so that's high praise indeed.

Percy was an awesome tour guide and knew so much about Marvel & DC history. Our kids (ages 10-18) loved the tour as well and were excited to see all of the stops.

A friend and I went on this tour today and it was amazing. Our tour guide (Percy) was energetic, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable! I definitely learned a lot about the area we walked around and even though it was freezing our tour guide was able to keep everyone’s spirits up :)

Excellent experience well worth it 👍 guide was amazing I would highly recommend it. Very knowledgeable and entertaining

EmmaPLondon

Rory was an excellent and very engaging host and storyteller. He went into a lot of detail but was never boring or OTT. He was great with the adults and kids in our group, and as a person who has never watched a superhero film (booked tour for husbands benefit) I enjoyed every part of it and the facts and trivia so can only imagine how great it was for those who had seen the films and characters we talked about! If this is your thing, book it, and if not, book it anyway!

Enthusiastic and fascinating guide, clearly adored their subject and made time to engage with the whole party. Pace a shade on the quick side between locations if you’re a slower walker. for any reason. Great way to see some of the city and hear a lot of comic book history.

Our tour guide Luke was amazing - full of knowledge, wisdom and wit which meant there was something for everyone in our group - appealing to three generations of our family! Would definitely recommend.

My son and I had a great time on this tour - Percy was really knowledgable and very passionate about all things superheroes ! So many cool stories about some iconic buildings and their place in the history of comics and superheroes in general. Highly recommended

This tour was excellent. We, 2 adults and a 15 year old, really enjoyed it. I'm not a huge superhero geek so alot of the references to certain films and characters went over my head but not so much that I was bored or disinterested. The geeks in my family though, they loved all the stops, references, inside jokes and general Marvel/ DC fandom. John was an excellent guide and how he dealt with a passer by attaching himself to our group just after he ( the passer by, not John) had stood nearby and pulled down his pants deserves special recognition.
