Very nice tour - We really enjoyed the experience even though we didnt know much about superhereos.
We were lucky for having Michael to explain the tour. He is very kind and he loves what he does.

A great informative and interesting tour! - We really enjoyed this tour with Percy, as it was both informative and interesting! We got to see some cool landmarks and hear about how they related to the history of comic books, like who created Wonder Woman (so fascinating!) and how Marvel filmed the Avengers at Grand Central.

Very informative and fun tour! - My son is a huge Spider-Man fan and we found this tour on the GoCity app. Percy did a great job telling us about all the different areas in the city that were used in movies and comics. So much information about the history of comics and characters! We had a great time at all the different spots and learned a lot!

Great for the whole family - A great tour for my superhero loving family. John our guide was great, very knowledgable and informative. My husband and teens loved it. I enjoyed the historical aspects of it. It was an early evening tour so temp was in the 30s F. Made it a bit difficult for us southern californians. Luckily my husband made a quick hot choc grab n go along the way.

Superhero walk - Went on this tour as my son is a major superhero fan. Can’t believe how much I enjoyed this tour as well! Our tour guide, Cameron, was excellent company. Really informative and engaging. He took us to several sights based on Marvel and DC films and comics, and passed on great stories and anecdotes. I can highly recommend this tour, it’s not walking for miles and none up hill. If you even have a passing interest in the superhero genre then you will get a lot out of this. Loved it.

Really dissapointing. Standing tour more like - Went on the Marvel/DC Superhero walking tour. Was a pretty bad time and dissapointing for the following reasons.
- Only 3 stops from between start and end with REALLY long periods of standing up to 30 minutes in the freezing cold.
- Misleading advertising. Was more of a comic book history tour with new york landmarks thrown in.
- Really poorly planned. The content was bloated and packed with irrelevant information to the locations to stretch the time out. It felt like very little effort had been made considering so much of New York is home to famous shots from super hero films.
All in all, for the price it felt like an enormous rip off and would suggest steering clear of this company.
