Seth was an amazing tour guide! On-time and had a great knowledge of all the comic related sites there are to see in Midtown. He was very kind and patient with my son and taught us both new fun facts we didn’t know about both comics and nyc. Five stars would recommend Seth and this tour to anyone with even a mild interest in superheroes.
Where was Marvel???

We were very disappointed in this tour! My kids were expecting to hear about both Marvel and DC comics. Yet the guide focused almost entirely on DC comics and original Superman’s. Stuff from 1930s-1940 and lots and lots of comic book topics. He kept switching topics mid-sentence and was hard to follow, both speech and physically. At one point he had stopped us to talk about Betty Bop. We were expecting to hear about Marvel as well. The weather was terrible, pouring rain, which can’t be controlled but which added to our unhappiness about the tour.
Fun tour for the comic fan

The superhero tour was fabulous! Our guide Vince was very knowledgeable and great with our boys 10 and 12. I would highly recommend this tour as a fun way to see New York by foot.

Seth was very knowledgeable on all things New York, building architecture and a plethora of superhero artifacts. He was also great with our kids and flexible to accommodating their needs. They really got to see New York and it's iconic tourist spots the way they could consume the information and quickly relate. What a great tour!
A must for comic book fans

Outstanding- Justin’s knowledge was very impressive. This was one of our highlights - our son is a massive Spider-Man fan so was excited to see many of the film locations. Can’t rate this highly enough. Be prepared to do a fair bit of walking - worth the effort.
