| 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! | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| 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!!! | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

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. | ||||||

| 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 | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| 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 | ||||||

| Although the cost at first may seem daunting. This is well worth the plunge!! As I was recovering from illness at the time, our guide offered to slow the pace, which I thought was nice. So this trip also offered good catch up time from the two days I had to spend in bed 'dying' and offered to give us the photo experience that showed where we had been. The trip is flexible to your taste's and where you want to see, which I think is a nice touch, whether its your first time to New York City or not. The overall pictures are great, good range and quality, and offers a chance to get pictures you wouldn't normally think of or be bothered to take. Plus it saves you having to take your camera out. Our guide also had a lot of knowledge, so is fantastic for finding out all those little bits, so so you need to think that the price is not just having someone taking your pictures, its getting other city tips, and learning other bits of history. So in all, I thoroughly reccomend this activity, and think of it as not an expense, but an investment into a good time, and memories :) | ||||||

Great Way To Remember Your NYC Visit

| We use to live in NYC. We returned for a visit and to elope. We wanted photos of our time in NYC and found Photo Trek Tours on the web. Marc did a great job and I highly recommend him. He was friendly, prompt, flexible, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Since our plans did not quite fit the tour description I called and left a voice mail requesting a call back before booking. Marc was prompt in responding and provided me with guidance for booking the tour to fit our needs. Even the booking service Zerve, provided unexpected customer service. I purchased two tours on back to back days for what we had planned. A Zerve customer service representative called me to make sure I had intended to book both tours because they were booked about 15 minutes apart. The Zerve representative wanted to make sure I had not accidentally duplicated the booking with the second purchase. I personally feel this is a sign of quality customer service. During our NYC photo tour Marc had all the bases covered maneuvering the city and catching some great pictures of our time in NYC. Marc was also helpful and informative when we went to city hall to get married. He even was the witness for our ceremony. The photo cd's of our trip were delivered right to our hotel before we departed NYC. I doubt anyone will be disappointed with Marc's service. | ||||||

| It was just the two of us, so it was wonderful to have someone take pictures of the BOTH of us instead of either having just one of us in all of the pics, or bugging other people to take pictures that may or may not be any good. The pictures are beautiful. Also, being first timers to NYC, he gave recommendations about certain areas and restaurants we would personally enjoy and also REALLY helped us learn the subway system. That was one of the best parts of this tour. We learned so much that we would have had no idea about, if it weren't for him. (By the way Marc~ if you are reading this, we ROCKED the subway system the days after your tour thanks to you!! We even rode the bus and knew to use our metro-card.) ~ Kerissa & Danielle Knoxville, Tennessee | ||||||
