| Mark was very friendly and made us feel at ease straight away! He explained what the plans were and we went straight into having pictures taken around big sites in New York! He was very organised in the way he took us around the city! It was great as only being two of us we both were in the picture along with great views behind us! He answered questions we had and taught us how to use the subway which was very helpful and also recommended places to eat and things to do! The photo CD was delivered the next day to our hotel and we would definitely recommend it as an essential part of your visit to New York! We would definitely do it again and extend the 2 hours to the 3 hour tour! It was money well spent! One of the highlights of our trip! | ||||||

| Marc Samuel is amazing. We had our honeymoon last summer (August 2008) and the one thing we recommend to everyone who goes to New York is to do this tour! Not only did we wind up with a disc of incredible photos we could of never captured on our own but we learnt a lot about New York, New Yorkers and afterwards felt confident navigating the subway, the streets and pretty much everything else. I would recommend this tour to anyone! Wear comfortable shoes! Do not make my mistake. Also, if you are new to the city, the earlier in the trip the better. The city really overwhelmed us our first night but after a couple of hours with Marc it was just fantastic. The highlight would be us standing on the street with our arms up in the middle of Times Square, we would have never done that without prompting! I really recommend this tour! Great pictures, great advice. He answered all our "silly" questions too! The disc was delivered to our hotel the next day. | ||||||

| Nous avons fait nos photos à central park et à broadway, ce fut un moment inoubliable, nous avons été accueilli par le photographe qui en même temps de vous photographier, vous parle de sa ville. Ce moment fût pour nous un grand moment dans notre voyage de noce car cela permet d'avoir des photos originales que nous ne pouvons pas faire nous même et d'avoir des anecdotes sur New York grâce au photographe. Après visionnage en rentrant, les photos sont magnifiques, nous n'avons pas été déçus de notre choix et de plus, la livraison s'est effectuée sans problème à l'hôtel. Nous ne pouvons que vous conseiller de le faire. Isabelle et Sébastien France | ||||||

| This was our fifth visit to NYC, and Marc our photo guide was still able to show us parts of the city we hadn't seen before. Marc was very personable, informative and his enthusiasm ensured we had a really enjoyable tour. The photos were painless and once over the initial concerns of having to stand in the middle of the road in Times Square it was very relaxed. Be ready to travel at speed with Marc... he doesn’t hang about! He can also recommend a great shop for home made cannolis! If you have a couple of hours to spare, we would highly recommend this tour. Ask him to end your tour in the west village, where there are some really good restaurants for lunch. | ||||||

| The tour was fantastic. Mark knew his way around and took amazing pictures in superb locations. We got to see the city and will treasure the excellent pictures. As a single parent it can be difficult to get decent pictures of me and my daughter together when we are on vacation, so this really was the perfect solution. Mark met us in a convienient location and delivered the photos to our hotel within hours. An essential activity for anyone visiting New York! | ||||||

| I booked this tour late and was only able to get a time slot at the end of our trip. I highly recommend that you take this tour!!! But take it at the beginning of your stay if you are new to NY. Our guide/photographer Marc was a wealth of information about the city as well as the bus lines, subways, etc. things you really need to know in traveling about the city. We saws lots, and over 130+ pictures taken of my daughter and I - not just my daughter!!! LOVE the idea and it was that and more!!!! | ||||||

New York in a Nut Shell

| Not being naturally predisposed to reading city guides and making plans for touring, we selected phototrek to give us a kick-start overview of New York and at the same time have someone else take the photos for a change. Marc's Phototrek acheived exactly that! Marc knew his city and knew it well. He gave us the typical whirlwind tour that covered all the main features and most importantly gave us confidence that we could continue to explore on our own. I think the winning feature of the tour concept was that it was personal. Sure it was clear Marc had done this numerous times before, but for that time, it was only Marc and us. If there was a negative, it was that every photo was dominated by ourselves. A few with us being a little less dominating might have been good. But that is us! At the end of the day the trek was everything it was advertised to be. Rapid overview and numerous photos of us! | ||||||

| Marc provides a great tour of the city. He customized it to our needs and shared some great tips along the way. We had a terrific time, and the photos were outstanding. They arrived at our hotel the next day. If you are traveling to New York, this is a "must see" tour. It's well worth the money. | ||||||

| Marc was so friendly and helpful... the rest of our trip was so much better because of this tour. Not only did we have pictures to remember our vacation with, but he helped us with the subway system, how to work it, and saved us a lot of walking! The pictures were fantastic, and I loved every one of them. I definitely recommend this tour... however next time I would do it on the first day we would be in town as it would have saved us a lot of frustration in trying to get around. | ||||||

Highly Recommend!!! Do it as your 1st Activity...

| The tour gives you a GREAT feeling of NYC and really helps to understand the many sites/locations of the city. I'm recommending Marc Samuels to anybody that we know who visits here to personally give the tour. He shared his knowledge of the city with us and is a great listener too. He had lot of positive energy like we're his good friends from the past. We started in Central Park, visited the local neighborhoods, walked by Columbus Circle, Times Square, Bryant Park, Grand Central Station (whispering corners I liked), subway rides/educated us on this (very very helpful), Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich Village, Soho, Litte Italy and on and on. The walk up the Brooklyn bridge was exciting. When we were in the middle of the bridge, the views were so beautiful. As with Central Park and all of the other areas, we were able to appreciate the sites we've only known from television. We know now that every time we go anywhere we will be commenting on this tour. The day after our tour with Marc, we were with my brother & sister in-law and wanted to go see the cast of RENT in Bryant park. The great part was that we were able to lead the way. The tour was so complete in that we remembered how to get around to many of the places we visited just by following Marc's comments and directions. In short, we had a FABULOUS, WONDERFUL, EVENTFUL time all made so much better because of our tour with Marc. Thank you very much. This is our first and definitely not our last visit to this great city. Jim and Mary | ||||||

| We did not want to have to keep asking random strangers to take our picture just so we could get some pictures of us together. We are very happy with the pictures that we got, they look great and we got to see lots of the city's hot spots. Mark was very helpful and he gave us great information and advice. This is a great tour and well worth the price, your pictures will speak for themselves. | ||||||

| Marc was brilliant and so friendly.He showed us around his NewYork and tailored it to our expectations.His photos really captured the fun and excitment that comes with visiting new york. Marc knew all the best locations and explained the subway and so much about New York to us.We visited areas we would never have found by ourselves and feel we discovered the real new york. The photos are brilliant and Marc got the disc to us by 8am the next day. We can't recommend it enough.It will be the best part of your trip to New York. The photos in Central Park and on the Brooklyn Bridge are amazing and he also took us to Carrie's Brownstone stoop!! book now and you won't be disappointed. | ||||||

| We were in New York for 2 1/2 days and I wanted to get some sight seeing done without wasting alot of our precious time. This was the perfect activity! Mark was great and kept the tour moving while allowing us time at the different spots to take in the sights. He customized the tour so that we could focus on the areas we wanted too and skip the sights we had already seen. The pictures were great and something we will cherish forever as you can't otherwise get the shots. And we were able to pick them up the next morning before catching our flight. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who wants a TON of great pictures, wants to see great sights and especially if your time is limited. | ||||||

| Mark our tour guide was awesome. He taught us how to "catch" a ride on the subway and at the same time how to not get lost in New York! He was prompt, courteous and very patient with our little six year old. His tour was alot of fun and we got to see some great sights, we especailly enjoyed walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. The tour was worth every cent that we paid for it and then some. I would highly recommend it! | ||||||
