My son is the superhero fan, my wife and I not quite as much. However this tour appeals to all, you learn very many interesting facts, are able to stand where superhero movies were filmed. And you have a guide that makes it fun. Last stop the secret pub that many cartoonist show off their work was a gem, the guide (being a former cartoonist) even sketched a pic of Batman for our son.
Our guide, Paul, was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and an overall nice guy. There's nothing like a superhero tour from the real-deal DC Comic animator. He brought the history of super-heroes to life, while showing us a vibrant view of NYC, that we would not have experienced otherwise - like the inside of Grand Central Station, the Chrysler Building, and Daily News building where Superman was filmed. He walked us through the locations where Avengers was filmed and we captured some great snapshots. Kudos! Can't wait to go back and take my kids.
This tour was one of the best I have ever been on. Paul, our tour guide, is extremely knowledgeable, amicable and funny. We learned all about the amazing history of DC Comics, Marvel Comics and their heroes as they pertain to New York and American culture. I would count this as a "must do" while in the city.
