| He was very nice and friendly and in terms of the work, he is a pro, he knows what he is doing. Our trip went super well, and he even gave us extra minutes of his time. If someone else will be reading this for a recommendation, you can book the tour with your eyes closed. This is how good this guy is. | ||||||

| This tour provides a great introduction to the most frequently visited tourist spots on Manhattan. We took Marc's tour as a family of two adults and a three year old, I highly recommend Marc's tour as an introduction to the island and as a great way of getting some great family shots. Marc provided interesting conversation and commentary on the locations we visited and was patient with our son, who we were getting in and out of a stroller for the photos. The CD with the photos was delivered promptly to our hotel. Thanks for a great experience Marc & best of luck. Chris, Kylie and Jackson of Brisbane, Australia | ||||||

| What a brilliant way to see the Big Apple. We had a great time with Marc who really knows his city - plus, he's a great guy. He was very considerate and looked after us well, taking us to parts of New York we would not otherwise have had time to see if we were exploring on our own. We are already telling all our friends that if they come to NYC they MUST book a tour with Marc. Truely brilliant - the photos are already printed out and up in the house, reminding us of our great holiday. Thanks so much Marc, we will definitely see you again when we come back to the Big Apple - although that might take a while!......but we will see you then!!!!!!!! | ||||||

| The photo tour was exciting and fun. We were enjoying ourselves so much we didn't even realize how much of New York we had covered. Mark is so quick with the photographs and knows the best places to take them. We would never have taken anything like these photos on our own. All four of us in the group recommend this trip to others visiting in New York City. Thanks Mark we will cherish our photos. | ||||||

| We were in NY for our honeymoon. We knew before we left it was going to be a challenge getting pics of the two of us together. I could not be happier that we found and booked the photo tour!!! We got to see sites that we may not have otherwise found or gone to and got amazing pictures to show for an amazing trip!!!! It rained the day we were scheduled to initially go, but we got everything rescheduled and still made the tour before we left NY. They are great to work with and made every effort to make our tour exactly what we wanted. Love the pictures!!!!! | ||||||

| We loved every minute of the tour with Marc (our photographer and tour guide extraordinaire), and he ensured we saw as much as possible in a two hour time frame. The photos are absolutely fantastic and show New York in all it's glory, and amazingly he made us look pretty good too! Being a true local Marc showed us places we would not have visited on our own, and recommended 'John's Pizza' - the best pizza in New York! Despite my boyfriend being a little nervous about having his photo taken over 100 times Marc quickly put him at ease, and his sense of humour was appreciated. We would also suggest doing this tour as soon as you arrive in the Big Apple, as it gives you a really good sense of where things are positioned and the subway system - the best way to get around. We can not recommend this tour highly enough - it made our time in New York extra special and we have the photos to prove it. Worth every cent. | ||||||

Amazing insight into an amazing city

| After an early start to meet Mark, we spent 3 hours seeing some amazing sights, he took us to places we would never thought of going - Brooklyn Bridge, Soho, etc., and provided us with some insider knowledge. The tour is fast paced and heavy going on the feet but totally worth it. Wear comfortable shoes, take along some water and let him guide round the city. An excellent activity to start anyone's trip. | ||||||

| This was bar far one of the best investments we made for our trip to the "Big Apple". This tour not only showed us the city and capture the moments on film, but helped us get a better understanding of how to navigate around town. Had we not taken this tour the first day we were there I can see that we would have been completely lost and may have ended up somewhere we didn't care to be. We will be using this service again on each visit till we have seen the whole city. Thanks, Brad and Dina Bruckner Dallas, TX | ||||||

| Marc was a great tour guide and revised the tour to fit our needs. We booked ours on the last day there and had our pictures by 4:45 that day and they were really good. My only suggestion is to book him your first full day there rather than the last but book early because he does sell out. | ||||||

| My wife and I took the three-hour tour because this was our first time to Manhattan and we wanted to get a feel for the entire city. We scheduled our PhotoTrek tour to start 30 minutes after arriving in town and immediately hit the streets to take photos. Our tour covered a lot of ground and the photographs turned out incredible. In fact, I would probably do it again if I ever went to New York, just to get more photographs. We have photos of Grand Central Station, Times Square, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Little Italy, Chinatown, the inside of a subway car. At first, we were completely confused with the subway system, but after our photo tour, we were riding the subways like the locals. If I had taken the photos myself, they wouldn't have had both my wife and I in the same photo, so it was great to have someone else snapping the pictures while we walked around and toured the city. At times it felt like we had paparazi following us around. Make sure you bring some good walking shoes because you will be moving the whole time. I wish I would have brought a few different shirts to provide some variety in the photos so that they all don't look like they were shot on the same day. I would leave purses, backpacks or handbags at the hotel room. They can become an extra hassle while posing for quick photos. | ||||||

| On our first trip to NYC as a couple (Sept 1-5, 2007) we had the pleasure of booking PhotoTrek's services to meet us at our hotel within hours of arriving in the city. Marc was prompt and very professional in all of our dealings. In addition, Marc is the kind of person that I am sure will get along well with anyone and any size of group. We would like to thank Marc and the great service that he provides and the wonderful disc of photos that arrived to our hotel very quickly after our tour ended. Marc was wonderful and provided us with a sample itinerary of sites to take in before we arrived on September 1. We made a few changes keeping in mind our future trip activities and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. We visited so many places during our four hours together and had the opportunity to talk with Marc and learn more about the great city he get's to call home. We are both positive we could have never covered that much ground and seen so many sites by ourselves. The really neat thing was that now as we get to look over the photos of our tour with PhotoTrek we see things that we didn't even notice due to our awe of arriving just a few hours earlier in the city - the Chrysler building over our shoulder, ALL of the beautiful greenery in the park, the character of the Brooklyn Bridge or the way that we look so happy in NYC together as a couple. Even after our tour was over - We both found ourselves using tidbits of information that Marc had shared with us during our tour. We even purchased discount theater tickets for the Phantom of the Opera at the TKTS booth that Marc pointed out to us from the Brooklyn Bridge, we rode the subway all over town with the knowledge that we could easily make it back to Times Square and we were able to enjoy the rest of our trip and not have to worry about taking photos together because Marc took over 200 great photos of us during our 4 hours together!! I would recommend PhotoTrek to anyone! Even if it is your first trip, your second or tenth trip, I think you will get something great out of the tour and working with Marc. | ||||||

Stop Reading & Start Making a Reservation!

| If you can't book it as the very 1st thing you do in NY; book it anyway!!! I wish we could've done this 1st on our trip but the tour was sold out on our 1st day (hence the reason u should stop reading and start booking so u don't miss out!) We took the tour on our 2nd day and our ONLY complaint was that we were not able to do it on our 1st day. Ok maybe we had two complaints; the second was that we couldn't just carry our tour guide along with us for the entire trip! He was FANTASTIC!! I had a couple of specific places I wanted to see that were nowhere near the 'actual tour sights' but our tour guide abliged w/o complaint and he made it work perfectly. He managed to ensure we saw some of the greatest sights all along the way of our 'detour' and all of the way back! We took the 3hr tour and I can't believe how much we packed into that tour! We saw more, laughed more, learned more and got more pics in that 3 hours than we did on our entire trip! If we saw something we wanted a pic by (that he normally would've walked past) we just pointed it out and snap snap we had the shots in addition to a wealth of information concerning the location. ANY questions we had were answered openly and with such knowledge! The shots themselves are FABULOUS! Plenty of close-ups, plenty of scenery shots surrounding us, and plenty of action shots (walking across streets, subways, climbing on the bridge etc). The rest of our personal trip photos (without the guide) has shots of JUST ME or JUST my boyfriend so having this tour's shots to mix in makes our photo album complete and a true joy to view again & again. I'm from a small town in Colorado where I have become spoiled with extremely friendly and personal service... this of course was not something I expected to receive in NYC; boy was I wrong! Our tour guide made me feel like I had never left my small town comforts the entire time we were with him! My fears of NYC were obliterated primarily because of this tour. By the time our tour was done my BF and I were ready to tackle anything NYC had to offer. We did a lot in NYC but nothing will stick in my mind like this tour. If not for this tour I doubt I would've felt like we 'did NY' but because of this tour our trip was complete and enabled us to return home with only the fondest of memories. WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU STILL READING THIS????? BOOK YOUR TICKETS NOW!! I only command this because I don't think anyone should have to visit NYC w/o this tour. YOU WONT REGRET IT! Sure it's a lil pricy if you compare it to some crowded and cheesy cruise ship or tour bus, but it's CHEAP when you consider the fact that you have one native New Yorker there to cater your needs and only your needs, who happens to be a professional photographer determined to send you home with a wealth of photo memories. You spent the money to get to NYC you may as well get your money's worth out of it and this tour is exactly how you will make up for the overpriced airfare & cabs! | ||||||

| My husband and I were in NYC for only 3 days. I had traveled there for work many times, but had never gotten to explore the city, and my husband had never been before. Since we had such a short time, and we were completely unfamiliar with the city, we decided this tour might be a good way to see the "high points" and get a nice overview of the city. We were right. We saw more in that two hours than we saw the rest of the time we were there. Marc walked us all over that city, through the Park, on and off subways and across bridges. The whole time, he is answering questions, taking pictures of us in front of various sites, and teaching us the ins and outs of the city.....areas to visit, places to eat, how to get around on the subway, etc. He had very quick and polite correspondence with us prior to our tour, met us right on time at our pre-arranged meeting spot, then came by our hotel later that same night to drop off a CD with all the pictures he had taken earlier. We would most definitely recommend this tour to anyone- especially if you are only in the city for a short stay and want to see as much as possible. Wear comfortable tennis shoes and get ready for a lot of walking, but it is great fun with a friendly and knowledgable guide. And the extra bonus- we came home with more pictures of us together than we have had taken in the last ten years of marriage! Thanks again Marc! | ||||||

| We had no better experience during our vacation in New York than our photo tour. Every picture turned out great, and we got to see more than we thought possible. Mark was a knowledgable guide and an excellent photographer. We highly recommend it to everyone! Thanks again for such a wonderful experience!! | ||||||
