Super Hero Tour of NYC for a win!melindajeanp
Dec 31, 2025, 11:33:40 AM Jon was fantastic—so knowledgeable and engaging! We got so much more out of our NYC tour than we ever would have exploring on our own. I highly recommend him. Our group included me (47), my son (27), three women in their mid‑twenties, and a toddler, and every single one of us walked away having learned something new. Jon’s expertise on the city, paired with his fun superhero factoids, made the experience unforgettable.

Jon was fantastic and did a great job with his segways into revealing super hero history/inside scoop. It did not feel like we walked as far as we did because of how entertaining/informative Jon was. The weather was warm but not bad at all. He took some amazing pics for us at iconic places as well!
We had such a great time! We learned so many fun facts and saw so many interesting parts of the city!Jessica_F
