Seth was GREAT! We loved the tour, facts, and seeing all the superhero sites. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I would highly recommend and a great way to see the city.
Hello, Thank you vey much for your kind review. We love to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Seth. See you soon on another tour. :)
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.
Hi Tara, thank you very much for your review! We are pleased that you and your son liked your experience. We hope to see you soon on another tour.
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.
Seth was great! He knew lots of interesting facts and not just about the movies. Really appreciated all the real comic book history.
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.
A very friendly and passionate Guide too bad we couldn’t do the tour in French. We had some interesting anecdotes. To make a start of stay if possible.
Seth was wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable, turning our NYC tour into an unforgettable experience! He skillfully connected the city's iconic spots with fascinating superhero lore, making us feel like we were walking through the pages of a comic book. From hidden filming locations to stories behind the city's real-life heroes, Seth brought New York’s superhero side to life in such an engaging and fun way. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking to explore the city from a new angle, Seth’s tour is a must. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add a bit of super to their New York adventure!
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!
Seth gave us a great tour of the superhero town. The tour was very informative and gave new insights.
Our tour guide Seth was amazing, engaging, and full of information about comics and NY in general! Highly suggest the tour.
