| Marc is a very genuine and personable guy. The tour is informative and his insights/tips etc as a native New Yorker we found invaluable. Even very simple things like how to work the sub way ticketing system and navigating around from there. You can tailor the tour to your exact requirements or rely on Marc's descretion, either way your going to be well informed. We had the 3 hour tour and the ground you cover walking and on the sub way is amazing. We recommend doing this tour shortly after arrival as an ideal way to get a very personal orientation of this magnificent City. The pictures are amazing and there's plenty of them. It is also amusing to see the looks on peoples faces as you have the pictures taken, you feel like a VIP they think you are a VIP........... well hey for 3 hours we were!!

| When we first got to New York, we felt completely discombobulated and lost. But when our tour began, we felt completely at ease and comfortable. Our guide (Marc) knew the area perfectly, and gave us plenty of information on all the landmarks and hot spots while simultaneously taking breathtaking pictures of us. Had we gone through New York on our own, we would not have been able to take even a fraction of the pictures! He provided us with over 150 beautiful pictures which included the famous backdrops of New York City. In addition to Times Square, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge, we also got to ride the Subway, visit Grand Central Station, and walk through Soho and Greenwich Village. Our tour was amazing and we highly recommend it to anyone who has never been to New York. Without our tour guide we would not have been able to navigate our way through New York, nor would we have 150 spectacular pictures. Thanks Marc, we had a blast, love our pictures, and definitely are glad we chose this tour. |

| We highly recommend this photo excursion. We saw A LOT and learned some little nuggets of history (as well as NYC specific ettiquette) about the city from our tour guide that we would not have learned on our own. Also, our tour guide was great; we were totally comfortable navigating the city with him and chit chatting during our tour. Also, the Zerve folks (for the actual purchase of this package Online) were very helpful and nice over the phone. Overall, a must for getting the best photo opportunities. We got some great photos! |

| My sister-in-law and I took a much needed girls trip to New York. We had a very limited amount of time and I knew that my sister-in-law would be behind her camera the duration of our visit. Taking this tour gave us the opportunity to have photos together at incredible, breathtaking landmarks in New York, on a limited time frame and with a reasonable price. Mark is absolutely delightful and a very talented photographer! He was wonderful! We got to see SO MUCH in just two hours time, and he even directed us on how to get to our next two destinations! We could not have accomplished seeing all we wanted to see without Mark! It is MORE than worth the money for these lifetime memories of our trip to New York!!! This was the best souvenir we could have purchased!!! |

| I found Photo Trek Tours when I did a search for Tours in New York City. I was initially so excited to find such a tour and then after the tour was finished, I was even more thrilled!! Marc was very enthusiastic and so very accommodating. He is a native of New York therefore full of information and insight. He gave the tour at our speed was so flexible when we requested a diversion from our initial itinerary. We liked the tour so much that I told two more couples we met on our trip about Marc and about Photo Trek Tours. The only thing I would have changed is that I wished we would have booked the tour for three hours instead of just two. I would have liked to have liked to have Marc around to take our pictures at a few more locations and for a little while longer. I will definitely recommend this Tour to anyone I know who is traveling to New York City. I can’t wait until we travel back to New York with our son. I will be so wonderful to book Photo Trek Tours when we have our son with us the next time we visit! |

| I loved our tour guide Marc Samuels. He was fantastic! He took my husband and I thru the best of NYC. He took some fantastic pictures with great ideas that we would not of thought of. He gave us some great advice on how to navigate thru the subway system and the diffrent streets and how they work. He was very nice and even helped us with a little video thru a church.
It was so nice having our own private tour guide and taking pictures of us. We felt like very important people and I am so glad we took the tour and would recommend it to anyone. I loved his website and that is where I got the idea to use the tour! I would love to come back there someday with some girlfriends and I will remember this place for sure.
Thank you and please tell Marc Samuels - Thank you from Bill and Tammy Schroeder from Milwaukee, WI!! |

| Our recent trip to NYC began with PhotoTrek Tours. It was a wonderful way to get a general overview of the island plus have these memories professionally captured on a CD to bring home with us. Our tour guide, Marc, was very personable and informative, making the adventure a very pleasant learning experience. I can't believe the amount of landmarks we were able to see in the time we spent with him! On our next trip, I will definetly book Marc again for different areas of the city....a great guide...a great tour...and great photos!!! Thanks for the memories! Sincerely, Julie, Geo and Chris Shea Chicago, Illinois |

| This was our first trip to New York City and meeting Marc on our first day was the best thing we could've done. It was awesome having him with us to tour us around and teach us how to venture around NY on our own. We really appreciated the Subway lesson, it came in handy later in our trip. We will highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to NY. |
