| Our Personal Photo Tour with Marc was excellent and definitely something we would recommend to anybody who wants to see New York with a friendly guide as well as having photos so that we can always remember our trip.
We both felt that Marc was very knowledgeable and easy to speak to whilst we were on our tour. There definitely were not any uncomfortable silences throughout the 2 hours! The tour was flexible in that we could pick and choose where we would like to see, and he was also very helpful in giving us directions to where we wanted to go after the tour finished.
The photos were of a very high quality and something that we can keep to always remind us of a brilliant holiday. We also received far more photos than we had originally paid for, probably to make up for the fact that I kept having my eyes closed for some reason!!
We would definitely recommend PhotoTrek Tours with confidence to anybody visiting New York. |

| This was our first time in New York and I booked it as a special holiday for my wife. As we were there on our own we wanted something to remember the trip by so we booked this photo tour. We were really pleased that we did as we gained lots of useful information from Mark and found it to be very enjoyable as well as knowledgeable. If you are going to book anything when on a trip to New York then this is a must. |

| Marc was fantastic, took my CI-Card and shot 144 fantastic pictures on 42nd Street, Times Square, Central Park, Subway, Brookly Bridge, Greenwich Village etc.
I only gave him five stars because I coudn't give him six or seven! |

| The idea is great - a bit more attention to quality/detail (for the price we paid) would have been an improvement. Quality was more important to us than quantity (of photos taken).
Otherwise we enjoyed the experience and have some nice pics of our time in New York. |

| This is a fast-paced energetic tour of the city- although I'm sure Marc would slow the pace if that is your desire- by a real New Yorker. I was amazed at the amount of ground covered in such a short period of time. Word of warning: keep smiling! Marc does a spectacular job at keeping your party as the main focus of the pictures and to do this in the middle of Manhattan he must be quick with the shutter. In other words, minimal time is spent being situated into a pose- so be ready to smile. I was happy that during any time waiting for or being on a subway he showed us the shots he had taken so far, so when I got the disc (the next day) there were no surprises. I thouroughly enjoyed our 2 hours, which seemed like half that. Our pictures-more than 80 of them- turned out great. He took several quick shots at each location, so you will be able to choose the best one. Yes, there were several where either my husband or I was not smiling, eyes closed, or otherwise just goofy looking- but that aside, I still had to narrow down the pictures I wanted to print. I think anyone who wants some great pictures of themselves in New York should book this tour! |

| We recently went to NYC as a surprise birthday present from my husband and we booked this tour with Marc. My intend was to get some great pictures of us during the 2 hour tour since we were only in town for 3 days. Marc captured the New York hussle and bussle very nicely. My husband thought it might be uncomfortable going on a one on one tour, but it was not at all. It was nice to be able to ask questions at any time. It was a pretty tightly scheduled tour, but that enabled us to get to see more. Thanks for some great memories Marc. |

| Marc was a great tour guide and photographer. My friend Tina and I had a great time and learned so much! We let him know what we had seen so far and he took us to different areas in the city and took some really great photos that would have been impossible to get without bothering a lot of people. Be ready to do some serious walking! I loved it! |

| Our phototrek tour with Mark was a fabulous way to begin our stay in NYC. Mark was an excellent tour guide who knows NYC like the back of his hand. He also is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of NYC. He had lots of stories and suggestions for us which we enjoyed. We covered a lot of ground, both on foot and via subway, during our three our tour with him and by the end really felt like we had our bearings for Manhattan and how to use the subway. This experience set us up well for the days ahead that we were spending in NYC. Mark is also an excellent photographer and the disc of photos we received following our time with him are a great souvenir of our trip. He did a wonderful job of photographing our family and friends by all of the famous Manhattan landmarks and we had a lot of fun. Mark had come highly recommended to us so when planning our trip and weighing all of the options of how to spend our money in NYC we decided to have a phototrek tour with Mark - it was great and worth every penny. |

| We took the photo trek tour on our last day in New York even though the company recommends talking it on your first couple of days. We had both been to NYC before so the photgrapher decided to do a couple of different things. We spent time in Central Park, Upper East Side, Times Square, Grand Central and then walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Brookyln. It was so much fun and the photographer was very knowledgable. I just got the photos in the mail last week (you would normally get them delivered to your hotel) and they are amazing. This is a really great idea for people wanting some different pictures than the normal tourist attractions. We especially loved to have really great pictures of the two of us together. |

| To say this tour is AWESOME would be an understatement!!! I only give it five stars because I can't give it six! Marc does an excellent job getting around the city in a short period of time. Not only that, he shows his guests how to get around on their own as well. This is by far, the best way not only to see the city, but to also get a feel for the city. |
