| When I was overplanning my trip to New York, I found this tour on newyorkcity.com. I booked it because there is nothing that I hate more than asking people around us, "Can you take our picture?" Marc was supposd to be off during the week because his wife is having their first baby. But I sent Marc an e-mail and he scheduled us, providing that his wife did not go into labour. Luckily, she did not have the baby before our appointment, so he met us at our hotel, and we were off! Literally! WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES, because you will walk miles. Marc was pleasant, friendly, and funny. He made us instantly feel comfortable. He gave good "New Yorker" tidbits and information and took wonderful photos as well. I really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone. I even would book it again if I came to New York because I love good quality photos. It was worth the money. | ||||||

| My wife and I where visiting New York from Australia as part of a Birthday gift to my wife and purchased the four-hour tour. Marc Samuels provided a wonderful and enthusiastic service. Mr Samuels’s obvious enthusiasm for his native New York was infectious and my wife and I not only enjoyed the photographs but also the fabulous guided tour. We would recommend this tour to all and sundry. | ||||||

| What a great way to see New York. Marc told us all the great places to see shop and eat. He showed us to use the metro and gave us directions to all the places we wanted to see. We were only in New York for a weekend and would never have seen as much as we did without Marcs tour and help for getting around. On top of that we have a fantastic photo album. In the 2hrs we got alot more than the stated 70 photos and the quality is excellent (he even managed to catch my husband smiling) We had our doubts about what to expect but were really pleased and would definitely reccommend this to others, infact we will book again when we return with the kids. We booked 8am tour which was great as the streets werent too busy and it gave us the rest of the day to take marcs advice and explore the city. Our photos were at our hotel by 5pm the same evening. | ||||||

| If you only have 4 hours in New York spend it on this tour. If you have 2 weeks in New York start with a 4 hour tour ! | ||||||

| Marc - what a guy! He made our first ,but by no means the last trip, to NY amazing. The first tour we did was fantastic, informative and loads of fun. I felt like a celeb on a photo shoot!!! But the 2nd tour we booked (at the last minute) which was for our wedding in central park was out of this world. If we had planned for 10 yrs nothing would have come this close to creating a perfect magical day. Not only did he capture every moment (including the tears rolling down my cheek during the ceremony!) he produced photos that are of amazing quality and will be cherished for ever. Viewing the photos is a story in itself - although we had no one from home at the wedding - my Gran after viewing shed a tear and has said it was just as if she had been there on the day!! Every moment has been captured for ever. So why are you still reading this review - get a photo-trek tour booked now. I promise it will be the best thing you do in New York. You will have the best time and laugh all the way through just doing crazy things. | ||||||

| Marc not only knows how to take pictures, he knows (and shows you) how to handle in NYC; using the subway when neccessary we spent 4 fantastic hours around all of main NYC highlights (and many different group pictures on all of them). He knows, of course, where to go, but accepts any of your suggestions or preferences. At the same time, you learn all you want from any aspect of NYC you are interested in, for he was indeed born in the Big Apple...Without any doubt, I recommend this tour to any person or group travelling to New York (be or not his/their first visit to it). Thank you, Marc. (I've already used the link in the email you sent me and all the pictures are available and ready to share) | ||||||

Marc is a walking talking New York encyclopaedia!

| We arrived in New York, as tourists, with our mouths open and our eyes shut, after our time with you, we became travellers, this time with our mouths shut and our eyes open. This was so very much more than a photo tour, Marc is a walking talking New York encyclopaedia. Every question thrown at him he answered. You are not so much a photographer, but rather a photo designer. I did not appreciate this until I got home and saw the prints. What I thought were photos taken at random, were in fact, marvellously choreographed shots, every single one having a backdrop of some aspect of New York life. Your photographs are the bonus of your tour, the other things you showed us proved invaluable . How to use the subway……worth its weight in gold. Theatre tickets, we got three for the price of one! …..terrific. Century 21st……………nuff said! Excellent restaurants…. You must have saved us hundreds of dollars. Also we went to places with the real flavour of Manhattan , places we probably wouldn’t have got to. It was an incredible afternoon for us, one that we will never forget, and our photos will keep it a vivid memory forever. | ||||||

| We really enjoyed our 4 hours with Mark and saw loads of things we wouldn't have seen if he hadn't been showing us around. It was my second trip to New York and we have come to the conclusion I must have had my eyes closed the first time because I didn't see half of the things I saw this time with Mark or maybe its just because he knows what he is doing and where to take you. Considering I don't really like walking or having my photo taken it was a weird tour for me to book but I thoroughly enjoyed it and the pictures are very good too, it didn't feel like we were walking for 4hrs. It was my mums first time in New York and these 4hrs were her favourite part of the break. We would both recommend it. It was great not to have to carry cameras around or to have to keep asking people everytime we wanted a picture together, our trip has been well documented in our photos and are something for us both to keep and enjoy. | ||||||

The photos turned out great and we are glad that we booked Photo Trek Tours to capture this special moments. It couldn't be better. This will be a great memory of the one of most important days in our lifes. Thank you very much Marc!!! We gladly recommand Photo Trek Tours to other NY visitors. | ||||||

Christmas in New York

| The photo tour was a unique experience that enabled us to see parts of New York that we would probably have missed. Even though the weather was miserable the photo's were excellent and it was lovely to have a set of photos of all the places we visited (with both of us in them!!!) We were only in New York for a short visit, however the tour made us a feel like we didn't miss anything New York had to offer. I would thoroughly reccommend the tour and hopefully they'll spread to other parts of america and we will definately use them again!!!! Many Thanks | ||||||

| Were many different locations photographed? No How many of 120 shots were any good? 4-6 (too many shots were all of me/us with minimal background, could have been taken anywhere). Value for money? No Recommend it? No | ||||||

Fantastic photos and useful local information

| We had a tour with Marc a native New Yorker, who as well as being a really friendly, personable guy, seemed to be a fountain of knowledge ranging from who built it, why, when and how, as well as more up to the minute information such as the best places to eat and shop. He knew the answers to all of our really mundane questions too. Ideal tour to take at the beginning of your stay if possible as he knows where all the bargains are to be found! Don't believe anything you read about New Yorkers being unfriendly, we found everyone we spoke to extremely friendly and helpful. We received the photos as promised at the hotel the following evening and they're all great - lovely to have everyone in the photo together. A really good tour and some really fantastic photographic memories! We can't recommend this tour highly enough! | ||||||

| Marc's tour was the undoubted highlight of my trip. The photos were pure quality capturing the spirit of the diffent boroughs at countless New York landmarks. The service and communication received from Marc was top class throughout, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York. | ||||||
