First time trip to New York City and we wouldn't have gone if it wasn't for all the rave reviews we read. Marc went above and beyond working with us on a rainy weekend right up to the last minute to get the tour in. His recommendations on local restaurants were right on and we ate at every one of them. And the photos were outstanding. We will be sending our children back to tour with him as the occasions arise. Thanks Marc! Rick & Cyn, Grand Prairie, TX

This was a great experience. My wife and I took the 3 hour tour and had such a great tour guide. He showed us all the places that we had hoped to see and now we actually have pictures of us together by a professional photographer! Great service.

A birthday surprise
Fri, Sep 11  11:45 AM Rosetta Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Other
I booked this tour as a surprise for my husband after reading good reviews on tripadvisor. Unfortunately it had to be rearranged due to bad weather. However, we met Marc the following day and were not disappointed. Right away Marc started taking pictures and telling us our itinery. We started off at Times Square, made our way by subway, where we had a couple of photos taken, to Central Park. After a time in Central Park with it's beautiful backdrop it was on to the magnificent Grand Central station. Another subway ride and it was on to the Brookyn Bridge. We then went to Greenwich Village and Soho. During the entire time, 3 hours, Marc was constantly taking pictures and giving us a running comentray on whatever site we were at, at the time. As you can imagine being a New Yorker he is a font of information. He delivered our disc of approx 151 photos to out hotel a couple of days later. We had to wait till we were home to view the disc and were delighted with the result. I would recomend this tour as a great keepsake of a fabulous city.

My daughter and I had a 'girlie week-end' in New York for her 21st birthday. Having read great reviews about Phototrek we decided to go for it and were sooooo .... glad we did. Mark gave us a fabulous 3 hours with some great shots of us both together at Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, 5th Avenue, Soho, Greenwich Village and so much more - plus lots and lots of tips and inside information on things we would never have seen on our own. If you're thinking of doing it, then just go, go, go ..............

Very interesting and informative
Sat, Jul 18  2:00 PM GAlexander Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
From being picked up at the hotel to saying cheerio 2 hours later. This whole experience was jam packed with information, great site seeing - we covered times square, a small part of Central Park, the tube stations, soho, greenwich village and walked acress Brooklyn Bridge all while getting lots of memorable photos taken - fantastic! Marc Samuels was a really nice guy and very easy to get along with. We also got lots of tips on where to eat, what to try and go and see for ourselves etc. Well worth the money and would recommend this as a must for anyone who is visiting New York for the first time. Make sure you book it on your first or second day there so that you get all the information you can for the rest of your stay.

MARC.... YOU ROCK NEW YORK!
Thu, Jul 9  11:45 AM boltons4 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had the best tour possible with Marc and the photos were fantastic. Make sure you wear your most comfortable shoes, Marc will give you a run for your money, maybe a brisk walk is more accurate. We loved everything we saw and are enjoying all the pics he took. We received an email with the link to the pics the very next day and the cd was received in the mail in two days! Amazing. But don't wear shoes that aren't for fast walking, as I stupidly did. Blisters were my own fault so make sure you wear good, worn in walking shoes. Don't try to break in a pair of shoes either on this tour or you'll regret it. This is just a word of advise from someone who should have known better. We loved Marc's tour: riding the subway, Central Park, Grand Central Station and even seeing an episode of Gossip Girls being filmed in SoHo made the day for our two teenage daughters. Marc had lots of information about the different areas and we look forward to doing a future tour with him.

Great Tour and Great Pictures
Sat, Jul 4  2:00 PM slvols Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our Phototrek tour with Marc was fantastic! During our two hour tour we saw many more sights that I anticipated. Our tour began at our hotel and included (but was not limited to) the following areas: St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, the NYC Subway System, Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Thanks to Marc's detailed Subway instructions (and demonstrations), the NYC subway system was no longer so intimidating! Marc was great with our two children. Several of the 70 or so pictures were of our children and were very good. My wife and I anticipate several of his photos being displayed promenately in our house! wFollowing our tour,we received our CD at the hotel the very next day. Should we return to New York, I certainly would want to do the PhotoTrek again.

Marc was great and the experience was wonderful

This event was one of the hilites af our trip. There were 3 of us and all of us enjoyed the places we went and the way Marc guided us and his photographic skills are excellent. We went on the 3 hour tour I thought it was going to be to long but I wished it was longer. Also the pictures we received were of great quality and we have them to enjoy the rest of our lifes. We all learned a lot about New York and used lots of the information Marc provided to get around and find our way back. I would recommend this photo tour to anybody going to New York. My Grand daughter and grand neice loved everthing about the tour. Again this was great and everyone should do the tour. Stan Jack

Couldn't be happier
Mon, Jun 22  2:15 PM deborahfos Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our photographer knew that we were hoping to get a good Christmas photocard picture from our time together. He did such a good job that now we're going to have trouble trying to decide which to choose. Aside from his great photograhy skills, he was also very knowledgeable about New York and the sites we visited with him. He was flexible in accommodating our interests and had an array of itineraries from which to choose. He was very engaging, and we enjoyed our conversations together. We just couldn't be happier with Marc and our time spent with him (and we received the photographs on a cd that night at our hotel!). We would recommend Phototrek to anyone.

Worth every penny!
Tue, Apr 21  11:00 AM GregHall Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our phototrek tour with Mark was a fabulous way to begin our stay in NYC. Mark was an excellent tour guide who knows NYC like the back of his hand. He also is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of NYC. He had lots of stories and suggestions for us which we enjoyed. We covered a lot of ground, both on foot and via subway, during our three our tour with him and by the end really felt like we had our bearings for Manhattan and how to use the subway. This experience set us up well for the days ahead that we were spending in NYC. Mark is also an excellent photographer and the disc of photos we received following our time with him are a great souvenir of our trip. He did a wonderful job of photographing our family and friends by all of the famous Manhattan landmarks and we had a lot of fun. Mark had come highly recommended to us so when planning our trip and weighing all of the options of how to spend our money in NYC we decided to have a phototrek tour with Mark - it was great and worth every penny.

Totally recommended
Fri, Jan 2  11:00 AM CarolineJ1 Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Individual
I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone going to New York in any weather. I was taken to places that I could not access on my own and had beautiful photos taken at places that I had never been. Even though it snowed for part of the tour, Marc was enthusiastic all the way. He made me feel like a model, even though I am nowhere near that. I am going to recommend to friends who will be going in the future to make sure they do this rather than some of the other things available in New York. Thank you once again Marc. Caroline

Great way to see NYC!

My daughter and I took this tour which was great! .. It was great way to see a lot of NY in a short period of time with a tour guide who knows where to snap all the pictures. Our guide was knowledgeable about NY pointing out different trivia facts along the way .. He gave us suggestions for dinner in the city .. suggestions of other things we should not miss while in NY. I highly recommend the tour!
