Thank you Seth!
Seth is amazing and he answered all of my daughter's questions patiently whilst also giving us some amazing insights on the history of the comic industry in New York. Five stars.

Five stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A really interesting tour! Our host Seth was fabulous and he also gave us general tips for our NYC trip for our family of 4 with teenage boys. This tour combined the old with new, interchanging between superhero comics and films alike. Would certainly recommend it!
via Tripadvisor
Great Experience!
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.
Response from the operator: 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. :)

Fantastic tour with Seth!
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.
Response from the operator: 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.

Where was Marvel???
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.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Superhero Walking Tour of New York: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does The Superhero Walking Tour of New York cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Superhero Walking Tour of New York take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is The Superhero Walking Tour of New York worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Superhero Walking Tour of New York?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Superhero Walking Tour of New York suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Superhero Walking Tour of New York?
+
Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Superhero Walking Tour of New York start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
