| Considering it was just the two of us in our party, we certainly wanted photos with the both of us in them. The photo tour was the perfect oppertunity for us to secure photos with both my daughter and I in them. It was a fun tour and informative as well. I would recommend this tour to everyone that wants awsome photos of their trip. |

| What an awesome way to see a lot of New York in a short amount of time, and to have your own personal, professional photographer (who was a great tour guide, with lots of little tidbits of helpful, interesting NYC information) take pictures of you while guiding you through Times Square, Central Park, Grand Central Station, the Brooklyn Bridge and SoHo/The Village, well, we can't say enough awesome things about Marc and his tours.
It really was the high point of our week in NYC and the photos captured our trip perfectly. We will definitely use the pics for our annual Holiday cards! Hopefully, it will result in referrals for Marc! |

| Mark is a wonderful host on this fabulous experience. My husband and I were impressed by the extensive and comprehensive tour...with a few surprises thrown in that we would never have found ourselves. Mark completely put us at ease with his professional and friendly manner and the fact that we have a photographic record of US TOGETHER is wonderful. What a brilliant idea!
We would recommend good walking shoes, hats and sunscreen...but Mark was more than happy to match the pace of the tour to our needs. If we wanted to stop and really take in where we were he would give us the space and time to be together. Touring New York City with a NYC native gave us the confidence the following day to do much more than we would have done and Mark was great at giving hints and tips on places to eat (Extra Virgin was fantastic!) and things to do. He also made riding the subway enjoyable rather than stressful!
My husband thinks his NYC attitude rubbed off on me...which I think is no bad thing! Thanks for a fabulous, unforgettable experience. |

| I can't say enough good things about our tour with Marc...we had the best time! My husband and I were only in the city for a day and wanted to see as much as we could...Marc did not disappoint! We opted for the 2 hour tour since we had limited time but in that 2 hours, we saw more than we could've ever imagined! We learned so much about the city too-Marc really knows his stuff! We're already talking about our next visit to NYC and doing another one! I would highly recommend Marc to anyone visiting the city!
Thanks for everything,
Christin and Ricky....North Carolina |

| From being picked up at the hotel to saying cheerio 2 hours later. This whole experience was jam packed with information, great site seeing - we covered times square, a small part of Central Park, the tube stations, soho, greenwich village and walked acress Brooklyn Bridge all while getting lots of memorable photos taken - fantastic! Marc Samuels was a really nice guy and very easy to get along with.
We also got lots of tips on where to eat, what to try and go and see for ourselves etc.
Well worth the money and would recommend this as a must for anyone who is visiting New York for the first time. Make sure you book it on your first or second day there so that you get all the information you can for the rest of your stay. |

| I would highly recommend this tour/photo op experience for anyone thinking of doing it. Marc is a great guy, is very professional and definitely knows the city. It is almost impossible for a couple to both get in a picture unless you hold the camera arms length or stop someone to take one for you. Marc takes you to all the places that a tourist would want to see and gets your group in a great photo. He also asks if you have any photo requests or want to see a specific area of the city. You also get way over the amount of pictures that is specified and the cd is delivered right to your hotel desk the next day. Marc also called and gave us a couple suggestions for restaraunt week. Again this is a great option to go for and a great photographer!!!! Thanks again Marc....... |

| I have to say the phototour was fantastic. Mark was very professional and interacted well with us. When we met, he explained about where we would go and gave us a choice of an additional stop on the tour.
As we were walking around New York, Mark explained about the areas we were walking though. Mark came across as very proud of his city and new his stuff. He showed genuine interest in us and where we were from and what we hoped to achieve whilst in New York.
We took the the 2 hour Best of New York tour and it was great, showed us some of the major highlights of New York and gave us a good orientation.
We were billed to receive at least 75 photos of the tour and ended up with 123!
I can't recommend this enough, it's an excellent way to get to grips with New York and an ideal way to get photo's of everyone in your party, without having to ask a stranger to take a pic of you.
I've recommended this to some of my friends who are heading to New York later in the year.
I'm your thinking about doin this tour. DO IT! you won't regret it |

| Our tour with Mark was the highlight of our 2 week trip. He showed us how to use the subway system so we felt comfortable going out again on our own the next day. The pictures he took are fantastic! He took group and individual shots and included all of our requests. We never would have seen as much as we did if we hadn't been with Mark. It was wonderful to have a personal photographer so that all 5 of us could be in pictures together. He is a wonderful photographer and excellent tour guide! We recommend this 100% to everyone! |

| We had the best tour possible with Marc and the photos were fantastic. Make sure you wear your most comfortable shoes, Marc will give you a run for your money, maybe a brisk walk is more accurate. We loved everything we saw and are enjoying all the pics he took. We received an email with the link to the pics the very next day and the cd was received in the mail in two days! Amazing.
But don't wear shoes that aren't for fast walking, as I stupidly did. Blisters were my own fault so make sure you wear good, worn in walking shoes. Don't try to break in a pair of shoes either on this tour or you'll regret it. This is just a word of advise from someone who should have known better. We loved Marc's tour: riding the subway, Central Park, Grand Central Station and even seeing an episode of Gossip Girls being filmed in SoHo made the day for our two teenage daughters. Marc had lots of information about the different areas and we look forward to doing a future tour with him. |
