The best thing we did with our money.

Thank you so much for such a good time during our photo tour. It was well worth the money and we loved all the pictures that we got to take home. We loved our guide and he was an amazing photographer. We loved all the poses he put us in around the city. These pictures are memories to treasure for the rest of our lives. Next time we come to New York we will bring our kids and take the same photo tour again. See you in a few years. We loved New York and we would love to live there. You have an awesome job. Thank you, Starla and Dave Cook

Having seen the great reviews of the phototrek tours before travelling to new york, we decided to book a three hour session, we were so glad we did!!! we were visiting New York for a week and booked the tour for the first morning of our holiday, Marc, the photographer arrived promptly at the meeting point, which is is a brill location because its easy to find and doesn't get too busy.He was easy to spot with a camera around his neck and after introductions we chatted about where our tour would take us, Marc has a route in mind but is happy to accommodate any requests. We went with the flow and followed the suggested itinerary which covered Times Square, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central station and many of the neighbourhoods. Marc was very helpful, he showed us how to buy a subway ticket and explained the different subway routes, this was really useful as it was our first day and made our sightseeing for the rest of the week easy!! At first we fell a bit shy having our photos taken but Marc put us at ease and we were soon posing like professionals! Marc answered all our questions about New York city and gave us an insight into life as a new yorker, including some of the best bars to visit and where to grab a bargain. During the tour Marc let us sneek a peek at some of the photos he had taken on the digital camera and asked if they were ok. This gave us the opportunity to say if we had any problems or wanted to do anything differently, however, we were very happy with the photos and continued to relax and let him do the hard work. We are so glad we followed Marcs lead and let him pick the areas to visit and where to take the pictures. The photos are amazing and are far better than we could ever have taken ourselves, especially as we are together in them, a rare luxury on holiday! Marc told us the CD with the images on would be left at the reception desk of our hotel within the next couple of days, which it was the following morning even though it was snowing heavily. Overall we really enjoyed our phototrek tour and have some fabulous pictures of our time in New York, i would definitely recommend this trip.

Wonderful experience
Sat, Feb 23, 08   8:00 AM crystalrose Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was a wonderful activity to do with our daughter. We got some great professional quality shots with beautiful NYC backgrounds. Mark was game for hiking in the snow to get the shots re quested of other Central Park landmarks that were not on the "scheduled" list. As a scrapbooker, the photos are great! Everyone loves the pictures and many have asked how many strangers we got to take our picture. We did the 2hr tour and ended up with over 200 pictures. These were delivered to our room before returning from dinner the same night. Well work the cost and time. Thank you so much Mark! Beckie, Mike, & Clarice Hampton, VA

Would recommend, weather permitting

First off I would like to say this was our first trip to New York City coming from Canada. We had advised Mark of this and told him we wanted to make this photo trip special being it was our first anniversary together. As a tour guide Mark was fantastic, as we went from photo location to photo location Mark was quick to point out local landmarks in the vicinity and provide history of the area we were in. Valuable as well, was Mark introducing us to the New York City Subway system which can be overwhelming at first but with Marks guidance we were able to fuigure out the system and this became an asset as our holiday moved along. As for the pictures Mark took we were both pleased and disappointed. Out of a total of 170 pictures taken by Mark that day, 37 were either over exposed or out of focus. Out of the approximately 7-8 action shots where we were walking only 2 were in focus. Some shots we did not know Mark was taking them so we were either looking away from him or trying to fix wind blown hair. In Mark's defence it was an extremely rainny, windy day but some adavnced notice of him taking the picture would have allowed for us to be ready. I would not recommend this tour in incliment conditions as it makes it hard to get good qualilty pictures as well as due to the low lighting the flash seemed to wash out many pictures. There were some very memorable pictures taken by Mark, however our only regret is that due to the weather there were not more. Due to time constraints you only have so much time and cannot go back and retake pictures once you are done.

The photographer was professional, courteous, knowlegable and FUN! We got to pick what we wanted to see. We got some brief background histories on the places we visited; just enough to remember. Most importantly, we have GOOD pictures of us TOGETHER!

If you are visiting NYC or even live there, this is something you have to do. It was soooo much fun and we have amazing pictures that we will have forever! Well worth the time and money. Marc is great and knows where he's going and what he's doing!! Just don't buy a new pair of sneakers and break them in on this tour!!!

My adult daughter and I went to NY for a mother daughter get away and she wanted to do this tour...so we did...it was wonderful...not only all the pictures that were taken (and they were all great) but the sightseeing and pointing out of things that other wise we would have not known...it was a friendly great time and the 3 hours flew by so fast... it was one of the highlights of our trip...would highly recommend especially if your a family or couple and your wanting those pictures that you just can't get when one of you are taking the pictures...well worth it!

Rockin' Tour

My cousin and I went on the PhotoTrek Tour the second day of our trip. Without the tour, we would never have been able to see Times Square, Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, and SOHO all in one day. He made us feel very comfortable with the subways, and the pictures were great. It rocked!

Our Honeymoon photographer
Tue, Mar 18, 08   10:45 AM jbex60 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We were in NYC on our honeymoon when we met Mark for our "photo-tour" and were very pleased with the tour, the photos and the tid-bits Mark had to pass along. I had been to NYC on several occasions, but my new wife had never visited before so the tour served as a wonderful introductory tour to the city. We have reviewed our photos several times and are absolutely thrilled. I have already mentioned the phototrek website to many friends and would encourage anyone to use Mark's services as they are professional, and the photos are of extremely high quality. I know that many of them will be framed for our home.

Love it, love it, love it

This was our first trip to New York City and meeting Marc on our first day was the best thing we could've done. It was awesome having him with us to tour us around and teach us how to venture around NY on our own. We really appreciated the Subway lesson, it came in handy later in our trip. We will highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to NY.

Loved PhotoTrek !!!
Sat, Mar 22, 08   3:00 PM Rockawaygal Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our recent trip to NYC began with PhotoTrek Tours. It was a wonderful way to get a general overview of the island plus have these memories professionally captured on a CD to bring home with us. Our tour guide, Marc, was very personable and informative, making the adventure a very pleasant learning experience. I can't believe the amount of landmarks we were able to see in the time we spent with him! On our next trip, I will definetly book Marc again for different areas of the city....a great guide...a great tour...and great photos!!! Thanks for the memories! Sincerely, Julie, Geo and Chris Shea Chicago, Illinois
