PhotoTrek Tours

A great way to see New York. We have all been to New York many times so know it well and we all learnt a lot about the city we did not know. We had fun and then had a great memory with beautiful, professional photos to keep forever. I Would recommend to anyone, gret for groups, couples or singles.

I can't say enough about this amazing tour! I highly recommend you do it your very first day - that's what we did (myself & my 16 year old daughter). Marc showed us how to use the subway system, and took us to many areas including Times Square, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, and Soho. It really gave us a great feel for the layout of the different neighbourhoods. He answered all of our questions and made some great recommendations, including a great little spot for breakfast at the end of our tour. We felt like celebrities with our very own photographer chasing us around!!!! The following morning, we received a CD (delivered to our hotel) with over 150 pictures!!!! I will be highly recommending this tour to anyone I know who is travelling to New York. Worth every penny!

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!!!!

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!

We decided to book this as whenever we go on holiday its hard to get nice pictures of both of you when you're in a couple. They are either single snaps or snaps taken yourself of both of you often at an uncomfortable angle. Marc who took us round made us feel at ease and offered great advise about getting the most out of our first trip to NY. Going off the beaten track and not just doing the 'tourist areas' We saw places we would probably never have visited without his help. The photos are great (despite it being windy and my hair being a mess; which Marc could do nothing about!) For a 2 hours session we have over 100 photos to choose from and we are really pleased to have some nice shots of us both for a change! We would certainly reccomend this to anyone wanting to visit NYC.

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.

Thank You Marc!! Not only did we get alot of great photos in some of New Yorks famous locations,You gave us some GREAT tips on where to eat and shop. We would NEVER have considered using the subway or the public bus on our own. However once you showed us how easy it was and gave the tourist maps, we used it everyday for a week after the photo tour. Thanks for the tip on the weekly subway pass, it saved us heaps on fares. This was a mother daughter trip and we have some very special photos of us together, otherwise it would have been me taking photos of my daughter and her taking photos of me. This way we are both in the photos. I would recommend this tour to ALL types of groups. Lets face it there is always someone left out of the photo, Because they are taking the photo. We have told so many of our friend how great the tour was. You have a really special tour, Thanks again we had a ball, and now have some really awesome photos of our time in New York City.

Marc was fantastic. He took great pictures, and he taught us how to get around Manhattan. We were able to go so many places other than the normal touristy spots. He helped us not be afraid of just going out and walking around. My 11 year old son and I are here on our first (but not last, I hope) trip to NYC--- This was the perfect tour!! Well worth the money- and the experience was wonderful. (I recommend going for 3 hours on your first day here, let Marc show you the ropes)

Marc did an excellent job with this tour. We hit all the main spots and got great photo's at each. It is a high paced tour, just like the city itself. I would recommend this tour to anyone including the locals. Marc will accomadate you in anyway he can. He helped me include a suprise engagement in Central Park. The photos came out great! Be sure to schedule ahead of time as he can book up fast. Also, try to get this tour in within your first 1-2 days of getting there. It will help you get your bearings for getting around. Try not to bring anything you have to carry around with you and wear good walking shoes.

This is the second time we have done a tour with PhotoTrek Tours. The first time was when my husband and I were dating five years ago. Since then we married and had a daughter. We wanted to get some beautiful pictures as a family in New York and there was no question to go back to Marc to get them. Marc knows how to capture a moment that will tell a story for years to come. We loved our pictures the first time and Marc again captured amazing photos of our family in NYC. We couldn't be happier and love all the shots he took. Literally, it's hard to choose the ones we want to frame and put up in the house because there are so many!!! This tour is worth every penny and you won't be disappointed. Not only does he take wonderful pictures, he knows a lot about the city and points out things to you along the way. This is a must do tour when you are in NYC!!! Thank you, Marc, for all the priceless memories that we will cherish for years to come.

Hands down the best tour of NYC we have experienced. The level of professionalism and detail was great, and you cant beat the photography.

Get your walk'n shoes on and prepair for a whirlwind 2 hours of fun, information and magazine worthy photos! I highly recommend this to everyone who visits NYC!

We really enjoyed our time with Marc. We have EXCELLENT photos and had a great couple hours touring New York City. Not only do you get a wonderful photographer but he also knows a great deal about the city and shares fun facts, ideas, and recommendations of places to go. It was the best. If you want great photos of you in NY - Go with Marc!!
