Many New York Landmarks in only 3 hours!
Wed, Apr 2, 08   1:30 PM pokerworld Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
When we first got to New York, we felt completely discombobulated and lost. But when our tour began, we felt completely at ease and comfortable. Our guide (Marc) knew the area perfectly, and gave us plenty of information on all the landmarks and hot spots while simultaneously taking breathtaking pictures of us. Had we gone through New York on our own, we would not have been able to take even a fraction of the pictures! He provided us with over 150 beautiful pictures which included the famous backdrops of New York City. In addition to Times Square, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge, we also got to ride the Subway, visit Grand Central Station, and walk through Soho and Greenwich Village. Our tour was amazing and we highly recommend it to anyone who has never been to New York. Without our tour guide we would not have been able to navigate our way through New York, nor would we have 150 spectacular pictures. Thanks Marc, we had a blast, love our pictures, and definitely are glad we chose this tour.

Our Honeymoon photographer
Tue, Mar 18, 08   10:45 AM jbex60 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We were in NYC on our honeymoon when we met Mark for our "photo-tour" and were very pleased with the tour, the photos and the tid-bits Mark had to pass along. I had been to NYC on several occasions, but my new wife had never visited before so the tour served as a wonderful introductory tour to the city. We have reviewed our photos several times and are absolutely thrilled. I have already mentioned the phototrek website to many friends and would encourage anyone to use Mark's services as they are professional, and the photos are of extremely high quality. I know that many of them will be framed for our home.

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.

The best essential holiday pictures.

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
Sun, Jan 27, 08   8:00 AM jdmackiewicz Male 40-49 Local Other
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.

I didn't tell my girlfriend we would be going on a photo tour of new york city but I planned it out with Marc and he was Great! Marc and I talked a few times through email and over the phone and he helped organize the tour for me. He even helped me pick out a place where I could give my girlfriend a special gift I bought her in a setting away from all the commotion of NYC. Afterwards he directed us to where we needed to go and even got the cd of pictures to us a day later. Marc was great and I highly recommend him.

Great Experience
Fri, Dec 7, 07   11:45 AM jburning Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Marc was very knowledgeable about the entirety of the New York City area and provided helpful knowledge that many first time tourists would need: how to use the subway system effectively, restaurant recommendations, sight-seeing recommendations, etiquette, history, etc. His photos were well-done and a CD of the entire shoot was made available to us very soon after the tour was finished. I recommend the experience to anyone who wants to get acquainted with NYC in a short amount of time, and get some quality mementos at the same time.

thanks for a great tour of New York
Fri, Nov 2, 07   8:30 AM cc2506 Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
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

New York tour with a difference

A great start to our holiday and the tour fully lived up to our expectations. Mark gave us a real taste of the city and took some great family pictures. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting New York for the first time but make sure you book at the start of your trip.
