| 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. | ||||||

Great Idea For Tour & Pictures

| 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. | ||||||

| Absolutely a must when in NYC. Marc not only delivers first class photos but puts you at ease from the ofset and gives you invaluable information on places you would never find yourselves. He also helped us first timers on how to use the subway system. Thanks Marc for a memorable day. | ||||||

| We did this two hour tour on our first day in New York. We were taken to lots of different places in the 2 hours and it was very fast paced but it was great to get a taste of some of the main tourist sights on our first day, and Marc did discuss where he proposed taking our photos with us and gave us the chance to express preferences as to where we wanted our shots taken. We were really happy with the photos that we got. If I recall rightly we were expecting we'd get about 75 shots, but Marc gave us a disc with all of the photos on (way more than 75 - very refreshing when you consider that professional photographers/wedding photographers charge way more but don't always give you all your shots!). As well as taking great photos, we found Marc to be a great tour guide in giving us commentary on New York, helpful hints on using the subway and how to get around, and recommending restaurants and other good photo opportunity spots. We have already recommended this tour to friends of ours who live in NY and would recommend it to anyone visiting the city as a tourist too. | ||||||

Great Tour and Great Pictures

| Our Phototrek tour with Marc was fantastic! During our two hour tour we saw many more sights that I anticipated. Our tour began at our hotel and included (but was not limited to) the following areas: St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, the NYC Subway System, Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Thanks to Marc's detailed Subway instructions (and demonstrations), the NYC subway system was no longer so intimidating! Marc was great with our two children. Several of the 70 or so pictures were of our children and were very good. My wife and I anticipate several of his photos being displayed promenately in our house! wFollowing our tour,we received our CD at the hotel the very next day. Should we return to New York, I certainly would want to do the PhotoTrek again. | ||||||

| This is a great service for folks new to the city and looking to have a few quick pics in front of some world-famous landmarks. The photographer was personal and professional. Due to the hurried natured, the majority of photos come out looking less than professional- but there are enough money-shots to make it worth your while. | ||||||

| This was the first and only organized tour we took while in New York City and we were not disappointed. This tour is well worth the money. Mark was extremely professional and proved to have a wealth of knowledge about the city. Not only did we end up with over one hundred amazing photographs, Mark also familiarized us with the city layout, the public transit system and made excellent restaurant recommendations. We took the 2 hour city tour and we were absolutely amazed at how much ground we were able to cover in that time period – We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a truly unique experience! Definitely 5 stars! | ||||||

| This event was one of the hilites af our trip. There were 3 of us and all of us enjoyed the places we went and the way Marc guided us and his photographic skills are excellent. We went on the 3 hour tour I thought it was going to be to long but I wished it was longer. Also the pictures we received were of great quality and we have them to enjoy the rest of our lifes. We all learned a lot about New York and used lots of the information Marc provided to get around and find our way back. I would recommend this photo tour to anybody going to New York. My Grand daughter and grand neice loved everthing about the tour. Again this was great and everyone should do the tour. Stan Jack | ||||||

| Our photographer knew that we were hoping to get a good Christmas photocard picture from our time together. He did such a good job that now we're going to have trouble trying to decide which to choose. Aside from his great photograhy skills, he was also very knowledgeable about New York and the sites we visited with him. He was flexible in accommodating our interests and had an array of itineraries from which to choose. He was very engaging, and we enjoyed our conversations together. We just couldn't be happier with Marc and our time spent with him (and we received the photographs on a cd that night at our hotel!). We would recommend Phototrek to anyone. | ||||||

| Couldn't have asked for a better introduction to a more beautiful city! The photos are proof of just how amazing New York City is, and of how much fun we had on our tour! We learnt our way around the city, how to use the subway and got some hot tips along the way of cool places to hang out. It all came in handy for the duration of our stay in NYC. I've told all my family and friends that if they ever intend on traveling to NY the Best of New York photo tour is a MUST! Everyone i've had the opportunity to show my photos to are in awe and that includes myself. All the photos are of great quality and would be almost impossible to get by ourselves. Love the tour, Marc is awesome, cant say it enough how enjoyable it was. Our trip to NY wouldn't have been complete without it! | ||||||

| This was a really special trip as 2 of our group were celebrating their 40th's. So we really wanted to capture the trip on film as well as see bits of New York that we'd not seen before. Plus its good to do a tour with a difference. Our guide/photographer was really informative and if it wasn't for him we would never have gone on the subway and understood how it works. This tour was recommended to us by others that have used this service and we were NOT disappointed at all. I will and have already recommended this tour to all my friends. Money well spent. | ||||||
