Best of New York - Personal Photo Tour

I've visited New York City a number of times and it's still my favourite city in the world. What I was looking for on my latest trip was something different to do and see and learn about the great city. I found Phototrek Tours and was introduced to Marc and easily had the best days of our trip with him. His knowledge of the city was second to none and helped me fill in the blanks in the knowledge I already had. The photographs he took during our tour were very professional and his flexible approach helped shape a unique and memorable day.

Marc was great, we had to postpone our tour due to the worst snow storm in New Yorks history, but he managed to fit us back in 3 days later and I am so glad he did. Best bit of our holiday and some fantastic memories.

This tour was a great way to see the city. Marc was very knowledgeable and gave great tips for our stay. I would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to see as much of NYC as possible and have their memories captured with photos!

My girlfriend and I came to NY so I could propose to her on top of the Empire State building. That went off without a hitch and the next morning we met Marc in the lobby of our hotel. Marc was very professional, listened to our needs, and added his imput as well as to how our 3 hours should be spent. Marc took us to all the cool spots and got our pictures in amazing places. Our pictures on the Brooklyn bridge looked like we were the only two on the whole bridge (and there were litterally hundreds of people on it!) Now me and my girlfriend have all the pictures we could want with both of us in all the pictures (no need for me to photo her or vice versa and no asking strangers to take our pictures). I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to New York who wants a boatload of professional pictures in all the cool places. Great job Marc!!

My wife and I had been to NYC a few times over the years but we just scratched the surface of exciting places to visit. Our PhotoTrek tour guide, Marc, is a NYC native and really knows his way around. In three hours we covered the highlights from Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge. Marc didn't just take fablous photos, he told us about the landmarks and some very interesting stories about NYC history. The pictures are so much more interesting when you know a little bit about the backdrop. We particularly enjoyed exploring SOHO and the East Village. Besides getting a ton of restaurant, clubs and live music recommendations Marc has a way of taking a suprisingly simple backdrop and turning it into a great photo. I would recommend a PhotoTrek tour on your first day of your NYC vacation. It's a great way to learn the city and then you can leave your camera and guide book at the hotel! Other than the last 10 minutes of the first act of Wicked, our PhotoTrek tour was the highlight of our vacation!

This was a great experience from start to finish. I read the reviews before I purchased our tickets, so I thought I had an idea what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations! Originally, I booked the tour for photos, because it was a special anniversary for my husband and I and New York is a special place for us. I really didn't think I would get much out of the tour, because I've been to NY before. I was pleasantly surprised! Marc is a fun and personable person, and he really loves this city and knows it so well. We arrived at our destination early, and he was already there waiting for us ready to go. We covered a lot of ground, but he made sure to take us to the places that were most important to us, and took the time to get the photos that we really wanted. It was no trouble for us smiling for the camera because we were having such a great time on the tour. Marc made us feel really comfortable and happy in all of the pictures, and we couldn't be more pleased. We posted our album on facebook and our friends and family thought they were awesome! Also invaluable, Marc gave us tips on where to go, what to avoid, and make the most of our vacation here. All in all between the fun time on the tour, the fabulous photos, and the tips for what to do, I couldn't be happier with our experience.

This is a tour which is extremely informative, it is awesome to be with a "local" who knows the city. Marc has a great sense of humour and was fun to be with. Our picture CD was delivered prompltly and we are delighted with the results. This is a MUST DO activity while you are in New york.

We have taken this tour multiple times, and it just keeps getting better! We live in Indiana and bring foreign exchange students to NYC on a fairly regular basis. This is absoulutely the BEST way to not only see the city, but to get a real feel for it...not just the landmarks and the "must see" stuff but the neighborhoods and all the things that aren't necessarily in the guide books. The tours are customizable, so you can spend as much or as little time in an area as you wish...or if there is something you really want to see you can make sure and include it...it's your own personal tour. Plus, Marc is very good at explaining how to get around, and how to travel on the subways...as well as pointing out what things to see & do and what things to avoid. If that weren't enough --- you also get a CD full of great NYC pictures! It is a lot of walking, but is is very much worth it. If you take only one tour in NYC...take this one!!! By the time you get done, you'll feel like a local. We will certainly return again!!! THANK YOU MARC!!!!!

Great introduction to New York by a local photographer. You need to have your running shoes on as Marc, like a true New Yorker, talks, walks and takes photos at a brisk pace. Marc gave us heaps of information and helpful tips as well as showing us how to use the subway, which you use to travel between photographic locations. We ended up with a CD full of precious photographic memories of my husband and myself at iconic New York locations, such as, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, Rockefeller Centre, Times Square and more in just two hours. Well recommended

It was the best decision made. For a short time we have covered best of NYC. I am cherishing great experience and pictures. I am proud of myself for takingthat tour.
