Best way to tour NY!!!
Sat, Nov 14  11:00 AM joedgarcia Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We were extremely pleased with Mark. He showed us around the city and captured beautiful moments at different NY sites. We will definitely do this tour again with more people! We were engaged the night before the tour and he was able to capture all the excitement of the weekend. Mark was so knowledgeable about the "REAL" NY and made us appreciate the other spots in Manhattan, i.e. Soho, Greenwich Village, Little Italy, etc. He showed us how to use the Subway and even recommended a couple of areas in the city to party at! That nite we went out til 4 AM listening to a live band play everything from Funk to Rock. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! If you want a real tour of NY, this is it!!!!!

Will recommend to ALL!
Fri, Oct 16  8:00 AM rharbster Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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

Absolutely Awesome!
Thu, Sep 24  11:45 AM Devo15 Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This was absolutely one of the funnest items we did on our trip, and we did a lot. Coming into the Phototrek tour, we really wanted to take advantage of the incite and knowledge that a local would give to us, and Marc went above and beyond our expectations. He was very knowledgable, personable, and a fantastic host to his hometown of New York. We will be recommending this trip to all of our friends that visit the great city of New York. Thanks a million Marc!

Fun way to explore NY

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.

Schöne Geschenkidee und Erinnerung
Wed, Sep 9  11:00 AM newyorkec Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Ein gelungenes Projekt und eine schöne Geschenkidee! Wir hatten die 2 Stunden Tour mit Marc gebucht, welche auch absolut ausreichte. Leider hatten wir uns viele Lokalitäten ausgesucht (TS, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Parc, Meatpacking), so dass die Zeit sehr knapp war und Marc im Schnelldurchgang die Fotos anfertigte. Hierdurch blieb keine Zeit die Fotos zu begutachten und ggf. ein neues anzufertigen. Daher war auch ein großteil der Bilder auf der CD später nicht "verwertbar" ( Augen zu, unpassender Gesichtsausdruck etc.). Aus den Rahmenbedingungen holte Marc jedoch noch 30 gute Bilder heraus. Wir würden die Tour wieder buchen da es unvergessliche Bilder geworden sind. Unsere Empfehlung: weniger Orte, mehr Zeit für die Bilder und Einstellungen.

Great for couples
Fri, Aug 14  12:00 PM jytong Male 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The tour was an excellent way to capture the hotspots of New York when you're traveling with a significant other. We would never have been able to bother passerbys to take this many photos of us, and quality of these photos were top notch. We were able to get 100+ photos in 5 locations over the course of the two hour tour. Definitely a great experience!

The High Point of Our Week in NYC!!!
Thu, Aug 6  10:00 AM jonellen Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
What an awesome way to see a lot of New York in a short amount of time, and to have your own personal, professional photographer (who was a great tour guide, with lots of little tidbits of helpful, interesting NYC information) take pictures of you while guiding you through Times Square, Central Park, Grand Central Station, the Brooklyn Bridge and SoHo/The Village, well, we can't say enough awesome things about Marc and his tours. It really was the high point of our week in NYC and the photos captured our trip perfectly. We will definitely use the pics for our annual Holiday cards! Hopefully, it will result in referrals for Marc!

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.

Great Idea For Tour & Pictures
Mon, Jul 13  2:00 PM Wingz65 Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
I would highly recommend this tour/photo op experience for anyone thinking of doing it. Marc is a great guy, is very professional and definitely knows the city. It is almost impossible for a couple to both get in a picture unless you hold the camera arms length or stop someone to take one for you. Marc takes you to all the places that a tourist would want to see and gets your group in a great photo. He also asks if you have any photo requests or want to see a specific area of the city. You also get way over the amount of pictures that is specified and the cd is delivered right to your hotel desk the next day. Marc also called and gave us a couple suggestions for restaraunt week. Again this is a great option to go for and a great photographer!!!! Thanks again Marc.......

Absolutly Excellent
Mon, Jul 13  11:00 AM totallylost Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Other
I have to say the phototour was fantastic. Mark was very professional and interacted well with us. When we met, he explained about where we would go and gave us a choice of an additional stop on the tour. As we were walking around New York, Mark explained about the areas we were walking though. Mark came across as very proud of his city and new his stuff. He showed genuine interest in us and where we were from and what we hoped to achieve whilst in New York. We took the the 2 hour Best of New York tour and it was great, showed us some of the major highlights of New York and gave us a good orientation. We were billed to receive at least 75 photos of the tour and ended up with 123! I can't recommend this enough, it's an excellent way to get to grips with New York and an ideal way to get photo's of everyone in your party, without having to ask a stranger to take a pic of you. I've recommended this to some of my friends who are heading to New York later in the year. I'm your thinking about doin this tour. DO IT! you won't regret it

A must do excursion when visiting New York
Mon, Jul 6  12:00 PM lenmerson63 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Absolutely a must when in NYC. Marc not only delivers first class photos but puts you at ease from the ofset and gives you invaluable information on places you would never find yourselves. He also helped us first timers on how to use the subway system. Thanks Marc for a memorable day.

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.
