Seeing NYC with my five year old son

| We really liked the tour and enjoyed the pictures when we got home. Our 5 year old had a blast too! Tip: Try to book earlier in the day if you are doing it with kids in the summer. I was sweating pretty bad by the end of the tour. We live in Houston so we are used to the heat but the subway stations get very humid. The heat got to our five year old son too. Marc made a great restaurant recommendation for the olive tree. It had great food and it was very quite the day we were there. John | ||||||

Incredible NY City Adventure...treasured memories!

| Thank you for a WONDERFUL New York City experience. This was by far the best tour we have ever taken. Marc is an incredible tour guide and a fantastic photographer. He captured the essence of NY City in photos that we could have never done on our own. He not only educated us on the city but on how to get around and we felt very comfortable in NY by the time the tour was over. He definitely went the extra mile by carrying my bag so that we would have uncluttered pictures. He thinks of everything and this became even more apparent after we got home and we saw the photos he had taken....WOW !!! I want to do this again if we ever go back, this is an adventure worth every penny. At the end of the day, it is truly a priceless experience to take home photos that are fun and creative and have done a tour that was truly remarkable. Thank you for making our trip great and for making us feel so special. | ||||||

| I love to scrapbook our vacations and this was perfect. I have pictures of our whole family in various places in New York City (not just the kids). If this is your first time to New York City make sure you plan this tour at the beginning of your trip. Mark will explain the Subway system, tell you where to eat and take you to various popular destinations in two hours. Mark has a great personality and the kids (age 13 and 17) loved him. Well worth the price!! Thanks Mark for making our first trip to NYC the best. | ||||||

New York's Finest

| We only had one day in Manhattan and wanted to see as much as we could. We found Photo Trek on the Internet and it seemed great for two single ladies visiting the City for the first time. We spoke with our guide, Marc Samuels, by phone prior to making the trip and gave him an idea of what we wanted to see. Marc made some excellent suggestions and we tailored the tour to our own taste and pace. Marc met us in our hotel lobby and the adventure began. In just 4 hours, we were able to see so much of this fabulous City--places we'd seen in movies and read about in books. At a comfortable pace, we visited areas such as Time Square, Rockefeller Center, Wall Street, Trump Tower, Tiffany's, the spectacular view of the city from the Brooklyn Bridge, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Greenwich Village, Washington Square Park, Soho, Central Park, Grand Central Station, City Hall and City administration buildings and even a visit to the site of the former World Trade Center. The tour included many photo ops and we were invited to request specific shots as desired. Our guide was very professional, knowledgeable of the city, personable, an excellent photographer and delightful company. We continued to our next destination in upstate New York after the tour. Marc sent our photos via prirority mail and we each had a CD containing our photos waiting for us when we returned to our respective homes. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York. | ||||||

What a way to see New York!

| My mom and I had a marvelous time on our four hour walking/photo tour of New York with Marc. Being first-time visitors, we were able to see so much of the city in just a short amount of time. Marc is very knowledgeable about the city and he took LOTS of beautiful photographs of us and the scenery. The disc with the photographs on it was delivered to our hotel that very same evening. We were extremely delighted with the final product and we recommend this tour to everyone! | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| My husband and I would like to say thank you for such a wonderful time in New York. I don't believe we could have seen everything on our own. It was fun and we enjoyed the fast walking....You really new your stuff. By the way since we had to taste every pizza out there. The only one we can write home about is the one in Solo. I believe it was Solo. Best Pizza ever!!! We wish you luck in your venture. If we ever come back I will definately be calling you. Thanks so much for such a wonderful time. I almost forgot about the pictures you took. You did a great job and we will never forget our trip. Todd and Kimberly From Arizona | ||||||

| We had no better experience during our vacation in New York than our photo tour. Every picture turned out great, and we got to see more than we thought possible. Mark was a knowledgable guide and an excellent photographer. We highly recommend it to everyone! Thanks again for such a wonderful experience!! | ||||||

Just OK - Expected More
|
|||||
| Thu, Jul 19, 07 3:00 PM | KariWeiland | Female | 40-49 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family With Children | |
| Was disappointed with overall value - expected more as many pictures were the same type of mug and headshots that a stanger on the street could have taken - expected more from a professional photographer and thought there would be more creativity in action-type of pictures, use of props along the way and recommendations on different poses (instead of so many mugshots) We did several tours while in NY for a week - overall, this photo tour was our least favorite (but most expensive) -- it's OK to do if you have time to fill but would not recommend as a "must do while in NY." | ||||||

Great tour, especially for first timers to NYC

| This is a great concept - seeing New York with a New Yorker who is also a professional photographer taking pictures of our group in front of some cool New York landmarks. For a first timer in New York, it was awesome. The city doesn't seem nearly as big or intimidating when you are going through it with someone who lives there. Things like how to ride the subway and how the trains work between uptown and downtown and the red line and the "W" line all were clear enough so that we rode the subway the rest of our time in the city. The fact that the whole group is in the picture - and you don't have to find someone to take a picture with your camera - is awesome. And, by the way, since the guide is a professional photographer the pictures were phenomenal. I would definitely do this early in your trip. | ||||||

Great way to capture the city with a loved one!

| This was a great way to capture the city with my daughter and actually be in the pictures. I am always the designated photographer and rarely end up in any vacation photos. Now I have beautiful pictures with my daughter that I will cherish forever. The photographer customized the walking tour based on what we wanted to do and was flexible and informative. I was concerned that the walking might be too much for my daughter who is nine, but it was fun! We had such a great time and the pictures are really wonderful. | ||||||

| Marc was extremely knowledgeable of the city and a great guy to spend the day with. I myself had been to the city many times and Marc still was showing me side streets and places I never knew existed. As you can imagine, for my girlfriend(being her first time in the city), it was a great way to see Manhattan!!! I would recommend Marc to anyone that is visiting New York and even if you live there and just want to get some great photos of you and your family around the city. With 111 pictures over a 2 hour tour I would say our day in the city couldn't have been captured any better! Thanks Marc!!!! | ||||||

| I booked this for my new husband and I as we spent our honeymoon in New York. It was absolutely the best! Marc was so friendly, energetic and full of local knowledge. We covered so much ground in our four hours and the photos are fantastic - they'll be going in our official wedding album. We did it on our first full day and got a great insight into New York and the different areas of Manhattan. My advice is to definitely take this trip, but a word of warning - wear the most comfortable shoes you can find as you will never stop! | ||||||
