An amazing tour that deepened our understanding of New York history and the literary and cultural bases of superheroes! Our tour guide Hanna knew how to engage a diverse group, with ages ranging from 10 years old all the way up to 70. The tour itself was intelligently constructed, and even those who were just there for the ride left feeling enthralled by such characters as Superman, the Shadow, and others. I personally found this to be a must to go beyond the surface level of New York and feel a part of the city, tourist that I was. If you are looking for a great way to spend an afternoon and to explore midtown Manhattan, I cannot recommend this visit enough. By the way, I found our guide Hanna to be very sensitive to our needs and to master fully the subject. I hear that she does other tours, notably a ghost tour. You might want to check that one out, too.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for your review of your Superhero Tour with Hannah. We're glad that you felt the whole group, regardless of age was interested in the tour. We're also glad to hear that the tour made you feel like a part of NYC. We hope to see you again soon, maybe on the Ghost Tour! -The Team at TopDogTours

I bought the DC and Superheroes tour NYC for my fiancé’s birthday as we were visiting the city over his birthday. Hannah was our tour guide and she was a fantastic guide! Excellent knowledge not only about superheroes but also the history of NY. We could not recommend her enough as a guide. Thanks to Hannah and TopDog Tours!

I took this tour with my 3 teenage children’ who love everything about superheroes. I had planned this tour as a very “cool and special “ thing to do in NY together. Whilst quite informative, the tour was somewhat underwhelming in it’s delivery (by Jordan), it was mainly just stating some limited facts, but completely lacking character and passion. The comic store at the end of our tour was disappointing, small and overpriced, carried zero significance (or at least we weren’t told about any). I did contact the company twice by email before booking in regards to who our guide would be (I wanted Hannah or James to be our guide, as they have raving reviews on TripAdvisor ), but never heard back and just took a risk of booking anyway. Shame, but this didn’t meet our expectations.

Hi Lisa, We appreciate your feedback, however, there are a few things we're confused about. You mentioned that the tour was quite informative but in the next sentence say that the tour had limited facts. It's not possible to be both. In addition, I'm sorry you found Jordan underwhelming as he is one of our most animated guides and usually gets reviews about his energy. We never received any emails about who your guide would be. We do not take that into consideration unless a guest books a tour privately. It's also unfortunate to hear you didn't like the comic store. We love to take people there as it is a smaller store and is family run. As far as comic prices in America, they have a standard price regardless of where you purchase them unless you are looking for rare or vintage comics. This might be different than what you're used to in Australia.
