Great superhero tour! - Percy was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. It was our last day in NYC and we were tired. We even considered canceling because of the long walk to get to the tour, but we are glad we went. My husband is a DC nerd and it was fun watching my husband and our guide, Percy, talk and exchange DC trivia. She wove DC and Marvel stories to the iconic buildings we walked by. The walk wasn’t too taxing and, in fact, we felt energized after the tour because Percy made the tour so interesting. If you like superheroes, this is a great tour.

fandoms assemble! - throughout the tour, percy spins an entertaining yarn, weaving in lore, history and a shocking stan lee character arc. iconic spots that most ppl would miss on their own come alive as percy connects them, often humorously, to the movies, comics and other media that have featured them. my fam had the funnest and funniest time, which flew by because percy is that engaging and knew how to speak to our fandom hearts.

Amazing Superheroes Tour! - My son and I took this tour as he is a huge superhero fan. We were not disappointed! Cameron, the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of numerous comic characters and was also up on current events pertaining to the characters, movies, etc,
He thoroughly impressed my son and that is not easy to do. We absolutely enjoyed the tour and highly recommend Cameron. Thank you!

Wow! We had a fun, fantastic tour! - We had never been on a NYC tour and this one -- Superheroes of New York -- was great! Tour guide Cameron was stunningly knowledgeable and fun. It was a warm afternoon downtown, but all of us were so pleased with the tour and our guide! We learned so much and the setting made it all the more enjoyable! My grandson thoroughly loved the tour, which made my wife and daughter enjoy it that much more! I am guessing the tour walk covered about 1 1/2 miles in two hours with 6-7 stops at significant sites, etc. The tour moved at a comfortable pace and Cameron politely made sure all members of the group were able to enjoy it. Five days later, we are still talking about the tour, Cameron and the sites we saw! We would strongly recommend this tour for all superheroes fans.

Superhero Tour in New York - Cameron was very personable, funny and had so much to say about New York and its superheroes and their stories. It was very informative, exciting and you could learn a lot of new things. Getting to know the filming locations and buildings rounded it all off.
