| What a great time we had on this tour! Wow! New York is an exciting city and this is such a fun way to experience it. I mean, how often do you have someone personally escorting you around town taking photos of you everywhere you go? I'm sure people thought we were some kind of TV stars or something! And these aren't just ordinary photos that you can have a stranger take, we were in the middle of Times Square with cars zipping all around us, and on the Blooklyn Bridge and Mark made it look like we were the only ones there, and we even got pictures of us in our subway car! I was truely amazed when we received our photos how good we looked in them! We received more photos than I thought we would and I have so many I want to frame. But really, it's not just about the pictures, the tour itself is a blast. We covered so much in a short period of time (wear comfortable shoes!) and Mark really did a great job helping us choose a good itinerary for us. We wanted to go to Brooklyn while we were in NY and he gave us great advise about what to do in Brooklyn and where to eat there, and even took time out after our tour to show us how to get there, and what to do the rest of our trip in NY. I can't decide which I like more, the photos or the tour. I loved them both! It was a great experience, I highly recommend it to everyone! Thank Mark! | ||||||

| Marc is a gem. I was called on business to NY on short notice, so my wife decided to come along for us to make a vacation out of it. We didn't have time to plan our activities, so we decided to book a Phototrek tour since we had such a great time during our last trip there. New York is a big and dynamic city, so we wanted to explore different neighborhoods this time. Marc did not disappoint! As expected, he met us on time and was ready to take us on an adventure! We went to lots of places that we hadn't had a chance to explore on our last trip, and it was great to go there with someone who knew the city. As before, we learned about what was going on around town, and some of the fun shops and galleries to visit. We were lucky - it was Restaurant Week! We were told about where to make reservations at some awesome restaurants, and also where to buy 1/2 price broadway tickets without waiting in line. I really wish there was something like this in every city. There is absolutely nothing like exploring a new place with a native, and seeing New York with Marc is like having an old friend greet you. The pictures were great, and I expected that. We have some pics from our last trip hanging in our home that we get a lot of compliments about. To me, this is money well spent. If I'm ever in New York again, I'm booking another phototrek tour! | ||||||

Amateur photographer for a professional price.

| Although some of the photos taken on this "tour" were some of my favorite of our vacation, they were no better quality than others taken by strangers we handed our camera to on the street. Yes, the photographer had a nicer camera than ours (though not a professional camera), but many of the photos he took were out of focus. One of the locations we went to had no usable photos. Also the web site suggested that there would be many famous locations included in the photos when actually there were only three. In that location there was not time enough to even look around. The photographer took no time to get to know our likes and dislikes or interests. He shot his "stock" spots but did not even point out the large "clump" of my hair that was across my forehead until the last few pics of the entire shot. Many of the photos would have been great if not for that one detail. As far as a "tour" this was anything but. The photographer spoke incessantly about the subway and how to use it (despite my husband telling him he had lived in the city in the past). He did not let us get a word in edgewise, not even to speak to one another. When we did ask about landmarks other than the most famous, he did not know anything about them. Overall, I would call the photographer amateur while, for the price, one would expect a professional. It was nice to have someone to take pictures of us together without having to ask a stranger to do it, although we accomplished this quite easily on our own by asking other tourists to take pics of us with our camera. If I had known ahead of time that it would be that easy I would not have booked a photographer. Because of that and the amateur quality of many of the photos, I would not recommend this service. | ||||||

| This tour was awesome! Mark was a great tour guide. He gave us a couple of options when we started the tour of which direction we would like to take things, and we saw quite a few places in a very short time. Its a good thing we are fast walkers! Mark taught us how to use the Subway, and we are pros by the end of the day. Our pictures turned out great, and he had them to us by the morning after our tour. I would highly reocumend this tour! We had a great time and Mark gave us a great taste of NYC. | ||||||

| A must do for anyone going to New York - Marc was so very helpful and informative ! I proposed to my girlfriend whilst on this tour and had emailed Marc previously to discuss setting etc. Everything was just perfect and we have fantastic photos to treasure forever ! It was helpful to do this at the begining of our visit as we found our way around more easily and Marc also showed us how to use the metro . We have fantastic photos in times square, Brooklyn Bridge and of course Central Park where Marc certainly made the right choice of setting - all perfect and thank you Marc for making this such a special time for us.

| This is the best idea, and I wish there was someone like Marc in every tourist destination that we have visited. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and most of all very talented! Our pictures were fantastic and we got way more than the advertised 75 pics for the 2 hour tour. We wished we would have done a longer tour to see even more! If we are ever in the city again, we will do another tour and see more places with Marc. I will (and have already) recommend this tour to anyone who makes a trip to NYC. PS...thanks for the tutorial on navigating the subway system, Marc...we were professionals at it after the tour and got around so easily! Jill and Nick from Nebraska | ||||||

| I felt that this tour is well worth the money. Not only do you have a personal photographer but you are also given a tour of the most famous attractions in NYC. They also give you the hot spots on dinning and entertainment. This is highly recommended. | ||||||

| When we arrived for our tour it was snowing, and Marc offered us a full refund as he couldn't guarantee the quality of the photos. We decided to go ahead regardless, as we probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to do it again, and we are so pleased with the results. Marc took us to Times Square, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge and Soho, and so we got a wide range of photos and we think the snow makes them extra special! The tour wasn't just about the photos, however, as Marc also showed us how to use the Subway and gave us information on different areas, as well as tips on good restaurants and bars to go to. The CD of photos was delivered to our hotel the next day. Overall, the tour was great and I would recommend it to anyone! | ||||||

| After reading the reviews about this Phototrek Tour on various websites, myself and my boyfriend decided to book this tour as part of our New York Trip Itinerary. We were not disapointed; it was possibly the best thing we did on our holiday. We were tired of going away with just the two of us and never beng able to get decent photos of the pair of us with the backdrop of our holiday. This tour overcame this and provided us with nearly 150 high quality photos that we would never have got on our own. Marc was an amazing source of knowledge and gave us plenty of ideas of things to do in NYC that are not part of the normal "Touristy" things to do. Overall this tour was money well spent and I have some amazing photos to remember our fantastic holiday by!!! | ||||||

I would highly reccomend this to ANYONE!!!! its great to get professional photographs of your trip and the price was great! | ||||||

| My fiancee and I chose this tour in lieu of sitting for "typical" engagement photos and I am so glad we did! Our photos are beautiful and we had an awesome time on our personalized tour of the city. Marc is an incredibly experienced tour guide with a great eye for the perfect shot. I am sure many people thought we were celebrities with our own personal photographer.....what great fun! This tour was the highlight of our trip! | ||||||

| A great experience and fantastic way to learn about the city and have photos taken around town to capture your trip to New York City. Marc is very personable and a lot of fun! I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity - you won't regret it! We did the tour on our first full day in the city, which I'm very glad we did. This familiarized us with the subway and gave us the chance to check out some recommendations from Marc over the rest of the trip. | ||||||

| This tour was a really good way to maximise your time in New York. There is no hanging about so you get to see and learn useful things in NY. He's keen to learn what you want to see and do and then works around you. Lots of advise as to things to see and do after the tour and a great insight to life from a New Yorkers perspective. The photos are excellent and delivered on a CD as promised the next day. Great guy and a great tour. | ||||||
