19June Session 4-6PM

I don't know who gets to see this review but like everyone says marc is an enthusiastic individual, who gets you in the know of things such as getting around the metro and such. On our day of booking, the weather was raining all day but we managed to get a 2hour session from 4pm -6pm. We went around a lot of places such as times square, brooklyn bridge, central park and soho. It was very fast paced whether thats marc's nature or the rain I dont know but it was very fast and as such unfortunately I must mention that in a number of our photos we barely had a moment to pose and the shot was taken, that didn't bother me that much but what did bother me was a good proportion of shots were for some reason out of focus. Me and my wife were the subjects obviously and on a quite a good few we are out of focus or slightly blurry which was disappointing. My recommendation is to slow down and make sure you get the shot, I mean not perfection but at least in focus photos for the money paid. John C

A MUST-DO!

Every year one of my best friends and I go to NYC. This was the first year we signed up for a tour with Marc and it was the BEST money we spent on ANY tour in the city!!!! You get a TON of pictures and the best personal attention you could expect from a guide. Marc was very professional and he made our tour exceptionally fun with tips and ideas about the city. It doesn't matter how well traveled you may be, it pays to sign up for this tour and let Marc give you the tour of a lifetime!!! It's worth the time you invest in yourselves for your traveling party and it's worth the money invested to bring home tons of pictures you wouldn't otherwise capture yourself. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for...." - Marc superceded our expectations. Take the time to make this investment and completely enjoy your tour. You will NOT be disappointed!!!! Our tour with Marc was the high point of this year's trip!

Will do every trip to New York

This tour surpassed our expectations! Our photographer Marc was great in showing us around, teaching us to use the subways, and of course great in a taking more than enough pictures. We were in some very populated areas on the tour and Marc took pictures so it looked like we were the only ones there. I was so happy to have some pictures of my fiancé and myself together on vacation. This is a tour we will definitely participate again when we visit New York to ensure we have pictures together. I do recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your trip so Marc has a chance to help you orient yourself around the city. We felt like celebrities being followed around by paparazzi, it was so much fun!

Loved the Trek!

My daughters and I loved the Photo Trek tour and it was absolutely worth every penny. We got to be together in all the pictures, which was lovely. Plus, it was like a guided tour since Mark knew exactly where to go and how to get there as efficiently as possible. I also really appreciated that he was willing to customize our tour to ensure we saw whatever was most important to us, given our time constraints. He was pleasant, accommodating, and very professional. That evening we had 3 photo CDs delivered to our hotel with all of the day's pictures. I highly recommend Photo Trek. You will love it!

This was my second time on the PhotoTrek Tour. Mark took that into account, and took us to a lot of New York we hadn't seen before. We loved the tour, and the pictures were a wonderful addition.

Our Personal Photo Tour with Marc was excellent and definitely something we would recommend to anybody who wants to see New York with a friendly guide as well as having photos so that we can always remember our trip. We both felt that Marc was very knowledgeable and easy to speak to whilst we were on our tour. There definitely were not any uncomfortable silences throughout the 2 hours! The tour was flexible in that we could pick and choose where we would like to see, and he was also very helpful in giving us directions to where we wanted to go after the tour finished. The photos were of a very high quality and something that we can keep to always remind us of a brilliant holiday. We also received far more photos than we had originally paid for, probably to make up for the fact that I kept having my eyes closed for some reason!! We would definitely recommend PhotoTrek Tours with confidence to anybody visiting New York.

An absolute must

This was our first time in New York and I booked it as a special holiday for my wife. As we were there on our own we wanted something to remember the trip by so we booked this photo tour. We were really pleased that we did as we gained lots of useful information from Mark and found it to be very enjoyable as well as knowledgeable. If you are going to book anything when on a trip to New York then this is a must.

Marc was fantastic, took my CI-Card and shot 144 fantastic pictures on 42nd Street, Times Square, Central Park, Subway, Brookly Bridge, Greenwich Village etc. I only gave him five stars because I coudn't give him six or seven!

Engagement Photos - Weekend in New York
Mon, May 18  8:00 AM lisadonegan Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The idea is great - a bit more attention to quality/detail (for the price we paid) would have been an improvement. Quality was more important to us than quantity (of photos taken). Otherwise we enjoyed the experience and have some nice pics of our time in New York.

Put on your walking shoes and be ready to smile
Sat, May 16  3:15 PM johnson0314 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This is a fast-paced energetic tour of the city- although I'm sure Marc would slow the pace if that is your desire- by a real New Yorker. I was amazed at the amount of ground covered in such a short period of time. Word of warning: keep smiling! Marc does a spectacular job at keeping your party as the main focus of the pictures and to do this in the middle of Manhattan he must be quick with the shutter. In other words, minimal time is spent being situated into a pose- so be ready to smile. I was happy that during any time waiting for or being on a subway he showed us the shots he had taken so far, so when I got the disc (the next day) there were no surprises. I thouroughly enjoyed our 2 hours, which seemed like half that. Our pictures-more than 80 of them- turned out great. He took several quick shots at each location, so you will be able to choose the best one. Yes, there were several where either my husband or I was not smiling, eyes closed, or otherwise just goofy looking- but that aside, I still had to narrow down the pictures I wanted to print. I think anyone who wants some great pictures of themselves in New York should book this tour!

Great pictures and great Tour
Sat, May 16  12:00 PM AnjaWaite Female 30-39 Combination Couple on a Date
We recently went to NYC as a surprise birthday present from my husband and we booked this tour with Marc. My intend was to get some great pictures of us during the 2 hour tour since we were only in town for 3 days. Marc captured the New York hussle and bussle very nicely. My husband thought it might be uncomfortable going on a one on one tour, but it was not at all. It was nice to be able to ask questions at any time. It was a pretty tightly scheduled tour, but that enabled us to get to see more. Thanks for some great memories Marc.

Marc was a great tour guide and photographer. My friend Tina and I had a great time and learned so much! We let him know what we had seen so far and he took us to different areas in the city and took some really great photos that would have been impossible to get without bothering a lot of people. Be ready to do some serious walking! I loved it!

Worth every penny!

Our phototrek tour with Mark was a fabulous way to begin our stay in NYC. Mark was an excellent tour guide who knows NYC like the back of his hand. He also is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of NYC. He had lots of stories and suggestions for us which we enjoyed. We covered a lot of ground, both on foot and via subway, during our three our tour with him and by the end really felt like we had our bearings for Manhattan and how to use the subway. This experience set us up well for the days ahead that we were spending in NYC. Mark is also an excellent photographer and the disc of photos we received following our time with him are a great souvenir of our trip. He did a wonderful job of photographing our family and friends by all of the famous Manhattan landmarks and we had a lot of fun. Mark had come highly recommended to us so when planning our trip and weighing all of the options of how to spend our money in NYC we decided to have a phototrek tour with Mark - it was great and worth every penny.

Awesome experience
Thu, Apr 9  3:45 PM tirvine Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We took the photo trek tour on our last day in New York even though the company recommends talking it on your first couple of days. We had both been to NYC before so the photgrapher decided to do a couple of different things. We spent time in Central Park, Upper East Side, Times Square, Grand Central and then walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Brookyln. It was so much fun and the photographer was very knowledgable. I just got the photos in the mail last week (you would normally get them delivered to your hotel) and they are amazing. This is a really great idea for people wanting some different pictures than the normal tourist attractions. We especially loved to have really great pictures of the two of us together.

AWESOME!!!

To say this tour is AWESOME would be an understatement!!! I only give it five stars because I can't give it six! Marc does an excellent job getting around the city in a short period of time. Not only that, he shows his guests how to get around on their own as well. This is by far, the best way not only to see the city, but to also get a feel for the city.
