Priceless photos from our trip!!!
Thu, Oct 4, 07   1:30 PM lacydesiree Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Mark was great and full of knowledge! He was so considerate to our needs and catered to what we wanted to see and do... The tour was a lot of walking for my husband and myself, but I'm pregnant, so that played a big role in it, I'm sure. It was incredible what we were able to see, that we would have never gotten to or found ourselves without Mark to point them out to us.....THANKS MARK! Again, the photos turned out great and it's something we will always have to remember our trip by!!!! Well worth the money on this tour!!!!

Thank you Marc for a wonderful tour. We were only in New York for a short time and this allowed us to see a large part of the city. We look forward to taking another one of your tours on our next trip to NYC! Thanks for doing such a great job!

My husband and I could not have had a better time! The pictures are great and the tour informative. We have recommended this tour to friends and family in Manhattan and elsewhere! We would even do it again with friends!

Absolutely THE Best!

Highly Recommend this Tour – do it FIRST! Gives a great “flavor” of NYC and makes it easier for you to find your way around later. Marc is a gem. He knows photography and he knows NYC. All along our tour he gave us pointers and told us about the city as only a native New Yorker could do. We started down Times Square and before we knew it were in the subway buying our pass for the week and ready to take a subway ride uptown to Central Park. We took some shots in the Park. Walked through a small portion of the park on the southeast corner and then headed east to Lexington Ave. to catch the subway heading to the Brooklyn Bridge. We walked to about the halfway point on the Bridge for more photos and some spectacular views of the skyline. Working our way back to the subway we headed uptown and got off at Chinatown and walked from Chinatown to Little Italy Walking through Little Italy we headed toward Soho (South of Houston – Hows-ton) and found some great little streets that were hidden. From Soho we made it to the edge of Greenwich Village where the tour ended. And since he showed us how to use the Subway, it was easy to find our way back! We had THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME with Marc. Ray and Clara

You won't learn these things in a book!

On this one-of-a-kind tour, you'll get a lot of exercise, see a lot of sights and take home a lot of good pictures. Mark was very accommodating, He tailored the tour to our specific interests, and it was great to get home with pictures that had both of us in them for a change!

Brilliant start to your holiday
Sat, Sep 15, 07   8:00 AM Mooseman69 Male 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This is a great idea to start your holiday, as you see the major areas of New York city. Mark is helpful and guides you well, we were a bit unsure of the subway but he just took us on and showed us how wrong we were. The pictures are fantastic and well worth the time and effort the guide puts in. The best idea I think is to book the guide at the begginning to give you a running start. Having a native NY resident who will answer your questions no matter how stupid really helps you enjoy the city more than you would have thought.

A Must Do
Fri, Sep 14, 07   1:30 PM DebbieGagne Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We were 2 girls in NYC celebrating our 40th birthday and were so impressed with this tour! We had a blast! Marc, our tour guide, was alot of fun and very knowledgable. He was also very accomodating and customized the tour so that we could see all the sites that interested us, which included all the neighbourhoods, major landmarks, shops and even places we never thought of. Marc dropped the photo disc off at our hotel and we couldn't wait to see the pictures. They were great! He took so many that there are lots of great ones. We had the best time on the Brooklyn bridge and those are some of our favourite pictures. This tour is so worth it and we would recommend doing it early in your trip as there was no way we would have seen a tenth of the great sites that Marc showed us on our own! Pack your comfy shoes and get walking.......it's a must do!!!! Debbie and Lisa Toronto, Canada

Spectacular

This was bar far one of the best investments we made for our trip to the "Big Apple". This tour not only showed us the city and capture the moments on film, but helped us get a better understanding of how to navigate around town. Had we not taken this tour the first day we were there I can see that we would have been completely lost and may have ended up somewhere we didn't care to be. We will be using this service again on each visit till we have seen the whole city. Thanks, Brad and Dina Bruckner Dallas, TX

IF YOU DO ONE THING IN NYC TAKE A WALK WITH MARC
Fri, Sep 14, 07   8:00 AM Philmurphy Male 20-29 International Tourist(s) Other
Like everyone who goes on holiday , my wife and i wanted great photo's of our trip to the world's greatest city and marc did that for us. Within ten minutes of reading the reviews on the web we had booked ourselves a 2 hour stroll for our first morning in NY and i can't stress how happy we are we did . We met Marc first thing and told him we wanted to see Central Park , Times Sq and Brooklyn Bridge , he showed us those places and much more along the way including 5th Av , LIttle Italy , Greenwich Village , Chinatown and so on . Not only did we learn a lot about NY from Marc but he showed us lots of handy tips like riding the subway and good places to eat and drink around the city , this is one of the reasons you should book your tour as early as possible into your trip as you get a good feel for where everything is and how long it takes to get around .Marc himself is very friendly and easy to talk to and puts you at ease right away if your worried about getting your photo taken in front of people as you are walking around , in fact after a while we felt like celebrities as people take a second glance at you wandering why your having your picture taken [ all part of the fun ].Unfortunately we are back home now but at least we have a fantastic photo album full of amazing pictures together and lots of great memories. Our friends have all seen them and some who are going to NY in November plan to book with Marc so i can't give anymore recommendation than that , other than when we return we will without doubt book another tour and see many of the other sites we didn't see first time around ! Cheers Marc. Ps If Marc finishes your tour down at the cafe in Greenwich Village on Bleecker St try a real lemonade , the best there is !!

What a great way to see New York !!
Tue, Sep 11, 07   2:00 PM awalker Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We booked this at the last minute and we were so glad that we found it. We spent 2 memorable hours with Marc who is very knowledgable and enthusiatic about his home town. We got pictures of ourselves that we would never have otherwise been able to get, in locations that we might not have visited without Marc's guidance. The photos were great and the disc arrived at our hotel within 24 hours. Very impressed with the service. Although it had been raining, Marc had a 'plan B' so that we would not miss out, however we did not need this as the weather held. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anybody visiting NYC and we would definately consider taking another one of Marc's tours. We loved every minute of it !!

Something to remember!
Mon, Sep 10, 07   8:00 AM uknodnol Male 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
If you are traveling to NYC I would recommend this tour as not only a great way to get your bearings in the city but also as a way to create memories of your trip. The tour guide is friendly, knowledgeable and informative and the pictures that are taken are of excellent quality. If like me and my other half you are going as a couple the tour is for you it removes the having to ask random strangers to take your photo and risk them legging it with your gear. All in all the experience is very positive and you will have something to remember your trip for ever. Kevin & Sharon

THIS IS A MUST DO . . . .
Sat, Sep 8, 07   11:15 AM 4galsinNYC Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
My friends and I were in NY for the first time and our photo guide Mark could not have been more helpful and enjoyable. He knew what shots to take and where to go to get them. We had a blast. Even though an unpredicted rain came along, it did not dampen our adventure or our pictures - so we got wet, big deal. Make sure to book this for your first day in NY because Mark (while taking photos) showed us how to navigate the subway and we really got the lay of the land. Mark would take any picture we wanted, so let loose and get silly once in a while. You can't go wrong with this one - BOOK IT NOW !!!

Great tour
Fri, Sep 7, 07   8:00 AM mgriggs Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Marc was a great tour guide and revised the tour to fit our needs. We booked ours on the last day there and had our pictures by 4:45 that day and they were really good. My only suggestion is to book him your first full day there rather than the last but book early because he does sell out.
