Great way to introduce yourself to New York City!
Thu, Sep 24  11:45 AM hollygabruck Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Other
We had a great time on the tour. We got some great hints about where to eat and some night life as well as learned how to ride the subway. We did this tour at the beginning of our trip which is the best way to do it because Marc's hints helped us for the rest of our trip and we rode the subway everywhere! This is a great way to familiarize yourselves with the city and we felt it was one of the highlights of our trip. We would recommend this tour to others!

A birthday surprise
Fri, Sep 11  11:45 AM Rosetta Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Other
I booked this tour as a surprise for my husband after reading good reviews on tripadvisor. Unfortunately it had to be rearranged due to bad weather. However, we met Marc the following day and were not disappointed. Right away Marc started taking pictures and telling us our itinery. We started off at Times Square, made our way by subway, where we had a couple of photos taken, to Central Park. After a time in Central Park with it's beautiful backdrop it was on to the magnificent Grand Central station. Another subway ride and it was on to the Brookyn Bridge. We then went to Greenwich Village and Soho. During the entire time, 3 hours, Marc was constantly taking pictures and giving us a running comentray on whatever site we were at, at the time. As you can imagine being a New Yorker he is a font of information. He delivered our disc of approx 151 photos to out hotel a couple of days later. We had to wait till we were home to view the disc and were delighted with the result. I would recomend this tour as a great keepsake of a fabulous city.

An amazing way to start your vacation
Wed, Sep 2  8:00 AM bethjenn Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was definately the best choice we made for our vacation. Not only did we see New York with a true New Yorker, but we learned information to help us with the rest of our trip. We rode the subway, learned hints on navigating New York, spots to go and interesting history. And the bonus - fantastic pictures of our mother/daugter trip. If anyone is not sure about this tour - please reconsider. It will be the most valuable tour you take. We customized our trip a bit and Marc for so easy going and helpful. It was a great way to incorporated our wishes for New York with the best of New York. Thanks Marc Your Canadian Friends

Wow - what a great day !
Sat, Aug 22  9:30 AM carolehand Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Other
My daughter and I had a 'girlie week-end' in New York for her 21st birthday. Having read great reviews about Phototrek we decided to go for it and were sooooo .... glad we did. Mark gave us a fabulous 3 hours with some great shots of us both together at Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, 5th Avenue, Soho, Greenwich Village and so much more - plus lots and lots of tips and inside information on things we would never have seen on our own. If you're thinking of doing it, then just go, go, go ..............

Absolutely brilliant
Tue, Aug 11  2:00 PM sophiec Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Other
Phototrek were our wedding photographers. We had a small cermony which they photograohed brilliantly, and then we undertook a 4 hour tour of New York, which was a wonderful way to get to know the city. We saw parts that we would not have seen otherwise, and learned how to use the subway. The photo's were brilliant, we were absolutley delighted with the them. Worth every penny, highly recommended

We enjoyed the photo tour immensely.
Mon, Aug 10  8:00 AM nicolelake Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Considering it was just the two of us in our party, we certainly wanted photos with the both of us in them. The photo tour was the perfect oppertunity for us to secure photos with both my daughter and I in them. It was a fun tour and informative as well. I would recommend this tour to everyone that wants awsome photos of their trip.

Amazing introduction to New York City
Thu, Jul 30  3:45 PM SadiejClark Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Mark is a wonderful host on this fabulous experience. My husband and I were impressed by the extensive and comprehensive tour...with a few surprises thrown in that we would never have found ourselves. Mark completely put us at ease with his professional and friendly manner and the fact that we have a photographic record of US TOGETHER is wonderful. What a brilliant idea! We would recommend good walking shoes, hats and sunscreen...but Mark was more than happy to match the pace of the tour to our needs. If we wanted to stop and really take in where we were he would give us the space and time to be together. Touring New York City with a NYC native gave us the confidence the following day to do much more than we would have done and Mark was great at giving hints and tips on places to eat (Extra Virgin was fantastic!) and things to do. He also made riding the subway enjoyable rather than stressful! My husband thinks his NYC attitude rubbed off on me...which I think is no bad thing! Thanks for a fabulous, unforgettable experience.

Best Way to See Manhattan
Fri, Jul 24  2:00 PM Christin25 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I can't say enough good things about our tour with Marc...we had the best time! My husband and I were only in the city for a day and wanted to see as much as we could...Marc did not disappoint! We opted for the 2 hour tour since we had limited time but in that 2 hours, we saw more than we could've ever imagined! We learned so much about the city too-Marc really knows his stuff! We're already talking about our next visit to NYC and doing another one! I would highly recommend Marc to anyone visiting the city! Thanks for everything, Christin and Ricky....North Carolina

# 1 Thing to Do on Any Vacation!
Sat, Jul 11  11:45 AM lindadooley Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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!

MARC.... YOU ROCK NEW YORK!
Thu, Jul 9  11:45 AM boltons4 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.

Great photos and great tour
Sun, Jul 5  5:00 PM chrisstark Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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.

Nice guy- ok pics
Fri, Jul 3  3:30 PM cjmaloney Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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.
