Fri, Sep 5, 08   2:00 PM BECKau08 Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Other
my husband and i booked this tour sept 2008 having never been to to new york we were greeted with not only a professional photographer but a true born and bred new yorker!. our tour guide took us to the best locations for fantastic photo oportunitys and a fantastic informative tour of new york was also included it was fantastic to have someone take great photos without having to ask 20 people along the way. we travel extensively around the world and partake in many tours but i have to say the concept of this tour is right up there with some of the best it was just great. our photos were delivered to our hotel the next morning such great and prompt service. the tour is well worth the money and my husband and i will surely do this tour when we return to this fabulous city thanks for the memories NEW YORK xo Beck & Greg Sydney, Australia

Fanastic way to see Manhattan & great pics!
Fri, Aug 29, 08   11:00 AM nadiap Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Very professional, great local knowledge, and came home with fanastic pictures of us both. Great for couples who don't want all their pics to be 'self-portraits'!!! Got to see & learn about heaps of little things we would not otherwise have visited or known about. Tip for anyone else considering taking the photo tour - wear comfy shoes and be prepared to walk fast! Had a wonderful time.

It's a must do when you go to New York!
Sat, Aug 23, 08   11:00 AM chardavis Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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!

Honeymoon amazing

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.

The best way to see and remember new York !
Tue, Aug 12, 08   3:15 PM b_speechley Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
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!

GREAT!!! Pictures and Learning Experience
Mon, Aug 11, 08   8:30 AM SherryMiller Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
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!!!!

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.

Loved it!!
Fri, Aug 1, 08   8:00 AM camille_w Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

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.

Fabulous activity for a short trip to NY!
Tue, Jul 22, 08   1:30 PM aleistra Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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.

THE SUBWAY IS NOT SCARY AND IT IS AIR CONDITIONED!
Sat, Jul 19, 08   11:00 AM rnardo Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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!

Great opportunity to learn about the city. I have not recieved our photo's yet, but we had a great time with Mark. He was very professional and took tons of photos. We did this tour last, I would reccomend doing it first because Mark has great insight on NYC. Good info on subway usage and areas to visit. This tour comes highly recommended!

jam-packed two hours
Thu, Jul 10, 08   3:15 PM hollynole Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
As first-timers to NYC, Marc's tips were very handy. We learned how to navigate the subway system and the streets of NYC. Our two-hour tour began in Times Square, hit highlights along Fifth Avenue, through Central Park, onto the subway, to a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Marc worked with us when the airline cancelled our flight and put us in a real jam. The airline also lost our luggage with our walking shoes inside. This tour requires sneakers to keep pace with Marc. This tour is NOT a leisurely walk around the city. Be prepared to walk at a brisk pace to fit it all in. The photo CD was delivered to our hotel the very next day. You see so much, it leaves your head spinning. Thankfully, you'll have a ton of photos to remember it all.
