The tour was great, if you are a fan of comics as if you will not like the amount of anecdotes that tell. Fully recommended.

You could tell that our guide John has a real passion about DC Marvel. He was so knowledgeable and engaging. Seemed like he was having fun which made it fun for us. My 10 year old son loved and wanted to do it again.
