Best of New York - Personal Photo Tour

Fantastic tour and we got a ton of great pictures. Kennedy gave us several restaurant and sight-seeing recommendations for the remainder of our trip too. Photo disk was promptly delivered to our hotel the next day. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

My mom and I took Marc's tour a few weeks ago and we had a blast!!!! We were in NYC last August and got home to find we had very few photos of us together. So when we decided to go back again - we knew we had to do this tour......and boy are we glad we did! Not only did we get to see and have pics taken in our very favorite places, Marc also took us to some areas in Brooklyn which we really enjoyed too. Having been to NYC before we were vaguely familiar with the subway system but still unsure about alot of it. In minutes he explained the subways to us and it really changed our trip. We were so much more confident about getting around the city. He made several recommendations on restaurants, and we did go to a jazz brunch in Greenwich Village he suggested and it was great. We really enjoyed it and probably would not have ventured that direction without greater knowledge of the subway. But back to the photos!!!! We came home with a disk full of really fantastic photos of our trip and great memories of our tour. We felt like celebrities in Times Square posing for pictures with our very own photographer! =) The tour was informative but most of all FUN!!!!!!!!!! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting NYC. Theres no way you could get pics like these yourself and see alot of sights in a few hours time. Thanks Marc!!!!

No need to hesitate or stop to think things over - just do it!!! You'll love it and be VERY HAPPY you did! No trip to NYC is complete without a PhotoTrek Tour experience.

Mark was fantastic. We were a group of seven wanting several different combinations of pictures, he was more than willing to accomdate our needs. We learned so much history about the city as well, he was so informative with a great personality and tons of knowledge of the sights. The tour was more than we expected.

This tour was so much fun! It was a great way to start our trip, and helped so much in getting a feel for the layout of New York. I would highly recommend it to anyone-Mark was great fun and very knowledgeable.

After 11 years of marriage I decided to surprise my husband with his first ever trip to NYC in late April 2011 and also with a 3 hour tour with Marc. Hours after we arrived we met Marc and began our tour. Having our personal paparazzi is not the norm for us but was very cool. Marc took some wonderful shots, despite the windy conditions (ladies I recommend wearing your hair up for this tour). We went all over Manhattan and had a snippet of various areas (Times Square, Central Park, Upper East Side, Grand Central Station, Brooklyn Bridge, SoHo, The West Village) all in 3 hours. GREAT GREAT pictures, Marc really knows how to angle the pictures to eliminate a lot of "background" people, which is awesome. He's a great guy and helped to educate us on how to navigate the subway system, avoid crowded areas and maximize our time. We LOVE our pictures and are SO grateful to Marc for his time on Thursday. We learned a lot about the city, neighborhoods, and people of and from NYC. This was such a great trip and started it off with Marc. I also highly recommend doing this tour on your first day in NYC as it will make the rest of your trip easier to navigate and the subway system less intimidating. Thanks Marc! We will recommended you to everyone we know!

My husband and I frequently visit NYC and doing it with Marc provided us a chance to capture it forever. Marc worked with us to avoid bad weather. He customized our tour to meet our needs - don't hesitate to ask for certain locations. He will make your tour suit your personal style. Marc provided us with MANY more photos during our two hour tour than we expected. Our two hours flew by but in return we have tons of wonderful pictures. I highly recommend Marc for photographic needs. Don't hesitate to ask him if you have something specific in mind because he does an excellent job of working with you. LOVED THIS TOUR!

Marc, our ambitious guide was from the go an enthusiastic participant/leader of our photo trek. He offered up suggested itineraries and adjusted as we went along to accommodate our whims and fancies. His knowledge of all aspects of the city were of great service and what he could not answer he had "friends" within texting distance to answer our questions and requests. We navigated the city from Central Park to the SOHO and MArc never led as astray. His suggestions were bang on and his advice excellent. Will recommend him to any people we know visiting the city. frankandroula

Great photos with iconic New York backdrops and no one is left out of the picture ! Our photographer was a native New Yorker who not only took us on a fact filled whirlwind tour of the city but gave great restaurant recommendations and helped familiarize us with the subways (which are daunting to those of us from the desert southwest). Schedule this tour at the beginning of your trip so you can be "primed" for the rest of your time in the city. Wear really comfortable shoes - I didn't ( really dumb of me !) Worth every cent !

Marc Samuels did an awesome job taking our pictures. He was a great guide as well providing details about the places we were visiting, and showing us how to get around usung the subway. I would totally recommend this tour. It was totally worth the money.
