What a way to see New York!

| My mom and I had a marvelous time on our four hour walking/photo tour of New York with Marc. Being first-time visitors, we were able to see so much of the city in just a short amount of time. Marc is very knowledgeable about the city and he took LOTS of beautiful photographs of us and the scenery. The disc with the photographs on it was delivered to our hotel that very same evening. We were extremely delighted with the final product and we recommend this tour to everyone! | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| My husband and I would like to say thank you for such a wonderful time in New York. I don't believe we could have seen everything on our own. It was fun and we enjoyed the fast walking....You really new your stuff. By the way since we had to taste every pizza out there. The only one we can write home about is the one in Solo. I believe it was Solo. Best Pizza ever!!! We wish you luck in your venture. If we ever come back I will definately be calling you. Thanks so much for such a wonderful time. I almost forgot about the pictures you took. You did a great job and we will never forget our trip. Todd and Kimberly From Arizona | ||||||

| 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!! | ||||||

Just OK - Expected More

| Was disappointed with overall value - expected more as many pictures were the same type of mug and headshots that a stanger on the street could have taken - expected more from a professional photographer and thought there would be more creativity in action-type of pictures, use of props along the way and recommendations on different poses (instead of so many mugshots) We did several tours while in NY for a week - overall, this photo tour was our least favorite (but most expensive) -- it's OK to do if you have time to fill but would not recommend as a "must do while in NY." | ||||||

Great tour, especially for first timers to NYC

| This is a great concept - seeing New York with a New Yorker who is also a professional photographer taking pictures of our group in front of some cool New York landmarks. For a first timer in New York, it was awesome. The city doesn't seem nearly as big or intimidating when you are going through it with someone who lives there. Things like how to ride the subway and how the trains work between uptown and downtown and the red line and the "W" line all were clear enough so that we rode the subway the rest of our time in the city. The fact that the whole group is in the picture - and you don't have to find someone to take a picture with your camera - is awesome. And, by the way, since the guide is a professional photographer the pictures were phenomenal. I would definitely do this early in your trip. | ||||||

| This was a great way to capture the city with my daughter and actually be in the pictures. I am always the designated photographer and rarely end up in any vacation photos. Now I have beautiful pictures with my daughter that I will cherish forever. The photographer customized the walking tour based on what we wanted to do and was flexible and informative. I was concerned that the walking might be too much for my daughter who is nine, but it was fun! We had such a great time and the pictures are really wonderful. | ||||||

| Marc was extremely knowledgeable of the city and a great guy to spend the day with. I myself had been to the city many times and Marc still was showing me side streets and places I never knew existed. As you can imagine, for my girlfriend(being her first time in the city), it was a great way to see Manhattan!!! I would recommend Marc to anyone that is visiting New York and even if you live there and just want to get some great photos of you and your family around the city. With 111 pictures over a 2 hour tour I would say our day in the city couldn't have been captured any better! Thanks Marc!!!! | ||||||

| We are so glad we found phototrek tours!! It was everything we thought it would be and much more. One of the highlights of our trip. Definately worth every penny. Our guide was so accomodating of everyone in the group. Very informative, a great way to get an overview of the city and great pictures without having to take your camera. Lots of wonderful pictures. We had our CD's the next morning delivered to our hotel and returned home from vacation to find our photos had been e-mailed to us. I will definately recommend it to any of my friends and family visiting the Big Apple. | ||||||

First Time Travelers to NYC - MUST DO THIS FIRST!!

| My wife and I have never been to NYC and went for a long weekend. I like to plan out everything in advance, being completely unfamiliar with the NYC area, the subways, the cabs, etc., I realized I was in for a huge undertaking. So much to do, so much to see, - where do you start? My wife and I are road warriors, but having to learn where to go, what to do, how to get there, looked like a week's worth of planning. We personally hate group tours - we find them impersonal and you are with a group of strangers that often move at a very different pace. We like bus tours even less because it's hard to get your bearings when you are riding and someone else is doing the driving. So I went on the web, stumbled onto PhotoTrek Walking Tours. Seemed like a great idea - a Native New Yorker who would take us on a PERSONAL TOUR and is a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER who snaps pictures of us with the NYC backdrop! (like many couples. my wife and I have precious few pics of us together when traveling). We timed our 4 hour “Best of NY” Tour for the very first morning in NYC so we could enjoy the rest of our trip. So with very few plans pre-arranged, we took a huge leap of faith, counting on this tour to guide our trip. Long story short...this was the best decision we have made in years! Our tour guide, Marc Samuels showed up right on time and met us in the lobby of our Hotel (Westin Times Square) at 8:30AM sharp (as confirmed in a personal email to us prior to going). From there, we covered all of Manhattan like a blanket! This was done at our pace (which we are in shape an move pretty fast) - an absolute whirlwind tour of NYC! ..Times Square, Rockefeller Ctr, Trump Towers, Central Park, Chinatown, Little Italy, 5th Avenue, Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Station (ask about the whispering wall!), SoHo, Tribeca, Chelsea, Bleecker St, etc. etc. Marc narrates the tour the entire time, patiently asking all of your questions, but then says..."I would like you two to stand here...face this direction.." and snap! snap!..We felt like fashion models touring New York! Marc has an in depth knowledge of New York that has to put him at the top of all tour guides in NYC. When we were done with our tour, we knew exactly how to purchase subway tickets, what trains to get on and off, where to go, etc. NYC can be an intimidating place...after the tour, we were VERY comfortable going everywhere we wanted to go at any time! I can now converse with any New Yorker and know exactly the area! RATINGS: Tour Alone - 5+ stars VALUE: 5+ Stars (Very reasonable price...you try to hire a photgrapher in NYC for 4 hours PLUS get a 4 hour tour of NYC to boot!) . BONUS: 5+ Stars (200+ incredible high qual professional pics delivered to our Hotel next day on CD!) Request Marc Samuels (AWESOME). KNOWS NYC and KNOWS PHOTOGRAPHY! Keep up the good work (and please go to other cities!) We love NYC ...because of you! Godspeed! Mark and Jackie Kidder | ||||||

| This tour is well worth every penny! Marc is an amazing tour guide. He is friendly, up beat, and easy to get a long with. This fast pace walking tour leads you all over the city to see the sites. I hope you will consider Photo Trek Tours when visiting New York. I am so glad I took the time and spent the money. I will have many memories to last me a life time. | ||||||

| Our Best of New York Tour was fantastic! I would definitely do it again and will certainly recommend it to my friends. We were scheduled for a 2 hour tour, but we actually received about 3 hours. Marc went out of his way to accomodate us in where we met to begin the tour and in giving us information on how to get to our meeting place. He also made sure we got on the right train for our next tour at Yankee Stadium and in making sure we knew how to get back to our hotel. We also got more pictures than we thought we would. Marc is very knowledgeable about New York, but he makes you feel completely comfortable and safe in the city. He could tell I was a little nervous about riding the subway, but he put my mind at ease to where I actually enjoyed it. I highly recommend this tour for anyone that is not familiar with New York. We had a great time, an experience my family and I will never forget! Thank you, Marc. Peggy Wright Alabama | ||||||

| What a fantastic day we had with our photographer Marc Samuels. The photos are "all" beautiful. Thank You Marc for the most wonderful coverage of New York City and the Brooklyn bridge. We would have never covered all the areas and picture perfect spots as we did in four hours. Errold and I thank you as well as our lucky stars for this fun filled adventure and a must do photograghic tour for all. We simply loved it and at the same time had alot of fun with you. Marc, you're alot of fun and made this tour very exciting. We brag and recommend this tour highly to all. Loving our captured memories and fully excited.... Alina and Errold Perez-Stoutenburg.

| We could not have been any happier with our wonderful photographer Marc! He was very nice, personable, patient, and very knowledgable of central park. We were renewing our wedding vows after 15 years of marriage and wanted photos to remember how wonderful it was. Our photos turned out so beautiful! Everyone has raved at how incredible and breath taking they are. I made a perfect decision in choosing Phototrek tours and MARC!! | ||||||
