A great way to see some key sights in NyC with a link to all your favourite Marvel or DC characters. Liz was excellent and so knowledgeable about both the city and the characters, but gave lots of little Easter eggs that you would never normally get to find out.
Extremely knowledgeable, personable, patient. Absolutely fantastic!
Michael was such a great guide! Learned so many new things about this city I’ve been to so many times - and with a superhero twist! The tour was about a hour and a half and was intimate with just 5 of us total. Would highly recommend these tours, and definitely would take Michael’s tours again!
Michael was an excellent guide, he was funny, knowledgeable, and engaging. We really enjoyed learning about the city and its history.
