| We bought this as a surprise for a friend in the UK who was visiting New York with her husband as a surprise for her 40th birthday. It was a great success, as they had a personal guided tour of New York and the photos are a great momento of her special trip. It was a brilliant success and is a fantastic gift for anyone. Many thanks. 110% recommended. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

Would recommend, weather permitting

| First off I would like to say this was our first trip to New York City coming from Canada. We had advised Mark of this and told him we wanted to make this photo trip special being it was our first anniversary together. As a tour guide Mark was fantastic, as we went from photo location to photo location Mark was quick to point out local landmarks in the vicinity and provide history of the area we were in. Valuable as well, was Mark introducing us to the New York City Subway system which can be overwhelming at first but with Marks guidance we were able to fuigure out the system and this became an asset as our holiday moved along.
As for the pictures Mark took we were both pleased and disappointed. Out of a total of 170 pictures taken by Mark that day, 37 were either over exposed or out of focus. Out of the approximately 7-8 action shots where we were walking only 2 were in focus. Some shots we did not know Mark was taking them so we were either looking away from him or trying to fix wind blown hair. In Mark's defence it was an extremely rainny, windy day but some adavnced notice of him taking the picture would have allowed for us to be ready. I would not recommend this tour in incliment conditions as it makes it hard to get good qualilty pictures as well as due to the low lighting the flash seemed to wash out many pictures.
There were some very memorable pictures taken by Mark, however our only regret is that due to the weather there were not more. Due to time constraints you only have so much time and cannot go back and retake pictures once you are done. |

| Thank you Marc for a wonderful tour. We were only in New York for a short time and this allowed us to see a large part of the city. We look forward to taking another one of your tours on our next trip to NYC! Thanks for doing such a great job! |

| My husband and I were in NYC for only 3 days. I had traveled there for work many times, but had never gotten to explore the city, and my husband had never been before. Since we had such a short time, and we were completely unfamiliar with the city, we decided this tour might be a good way to see the "high points" and get a nice overview of the city.
We were right. We saw more in that two hours than we saw the rest of the time we were there. Marc walked us all over that city, through the Park, on and off subways and across bridges. The whole time, he is answering questions, taking pictures of us in front of various sites, and teaching us the ins and outs of the city.....areas to visit, places to eat, how to get around on the subway, etc. He had very quick and polite correspondence with us prior to our tour, met us right on time at our pre-arranged meeting spot, then came by our hotel later that same night to drop off a CD with all the pictures he had taken earlier.
We would most definitely recommend this tour to anyone- especially if you are only in the city for a short stay and want to see as much as possible. Wear comfortable tennis shoes and get ready for a lot of walking, but it is great fun with a friendly and knowledgable guide. And the extra bonus- we came home with more pictures of us together than we have had taken in the last ten years of marriage! Thanks again Marc! |

| What an experience! Marc was fantastic, he showed us so many different areas of New York and how to use the subway. As a result, we covered so much ground and felt really confident getting around the city after the tour.
Marc has loads of tips and info to share about the City and it really is a fantastic experience when you get home and share it with your friends and family. |

| If you only have 4 hours in New York spend it on this tour. If you have 2 weeks in New York start with a 4 hour tour ! |
