| This activity was a highlight of the trip when planning everything for New York City and we were not disapointed. Not only was Marc great in giving tips to getting around on the confusing subway system but he was able to point out historical buildings we passed and give tidbits of information on the sites we came across. We love to scrapbook our vacations and with the pictures that Marc captured we are sure to have a fantastic photo album to show our friends and family. It was wonderful getting creative, fun shots without having to ask people to take the picture for us. Marc was even open to suggestions when we saw a location that looked interesting for a quick photo. We particularly wanted to catch some color changes in the leaves and Marc ensured that we would get what few were in Central Park. One suggestion, wear your walking shoes and get ready to move because you are covering a lot of ground in a short period of time. It was a whirlwind two hours but we had a blast and now have the pictures to prove it. |

| My husband, Duncan and I celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary with a trip to New York. I booked the Personal Photo Tour for two reasons; firstly so that we would have photos of both of us together in key memorable places in New York and secondly to have a New Yorker guide us around top sites. We were not disappointed.
A whistle-stop tour it certainly was but Mark packed an amazing 121 photos into 2 hours. The CD was delivered to our Hotel as promised and we have a permanent reminder of our trip.
Mark was a great guide, very patient, informative and fun to be with . We were so pleased to discover New York with him, Soho and The Village particularly. |

| This tour was fabulous from beginning to end. The tour guide was professional, knowledgeable and fun. He made wonderful suggestions about the places to see in New York and then personalized the tour with beautiful pictures of us at the places we visited. We covered a great deal of the city with ease and it was one of the most exciting and unique tours we have ever experienced. We would definitely do it again. |

| Having read a review in our local Brisbane paper about the tour, we decided to give it a try.
Marc was very welcoming and gave us a great tour around.
We would thoroughly recommend this tour as it allowed us to be photogrraphed together is some great locations as well as give us an orientation tour.
Marc showed us how to use the subway so that gave us the confidence to use it later.
Marc is very proud of his city and transferred that enthusiaism to us.
We are so glad we decided to do phototrek and have been recommending this tour to our friends.
Kind regards,
Mary & Mike.

| We came back from New York with tons of great photos. Be ready to zip around Manhattan in two hours. We walked fast!! The tour was a lot of fun and a great concept. We didn't have to worry about taking anymore photos on the rest of the trip. |

| We are so happy we decided to book with Phototrek tours, we have been overseas before and always got too carried away to worry about taking photos of each other. The hard thing about travelling as a couple is never getting photos that you are both in, now we have the most memorable photos that we can't stop looking at even 6 months down the track. Marc was a lot of fun, he worked so fast that we were able to have photos taken in so many locations. We went on the tour the second day we were in New York which was great as he showed us how to navigate the subway and made us feel comfortable with the city. He gave us great tips on where to eat, where to shop and where to buy cheap tickets. It is honestly the best thing we did while we were in NY and we would love to do it again if we get the chance to go back, we felt like celebrities as Marc would flash away as we were walking down the street. We couldn't think of a better way to view New York then with your very own personal tour guide and the fact that he is your personal photographer makes the experience so much more worthwhile.
Put this at the top of your list of things to do in New York.

| I was really happy with the quality of the photographs my friend and I received from our tour. Marc was fantastic in re-arranging an alternative time for us after the original date was washed out with rain. We got photos of our trip that we could not have possibly taken ourselves. Into the bargain, we saw more in our 2 hour photo shoot of New York than we have managed to find ourselves. Thanks for the wonderful New York memories Marc. |
