Iconic New York Wedding Shots
Mon, Apr 7, 08   2:00 PM NTShefford Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We thoroughly enjoyed our photo tour which we booked for the afternoon after getting married at City Hall. Our main reason for booking was to get some iconic New York photos of us on our wedding day. Mark was both professional and laid back, putting us at ease. Being typically reserved English we were a little nervous that we would feel rather foolish being photographed, however, we needn't have worried, it was great fun and we got loads of pictures we would otherwise have never had. As we were flying home the next day, Mark was even able to get our photos to the hotel on the same day for which we were very grateful. As we had been in the city for a few days and done a lot of exploring ourselves we were familiar with a lot of the places that Mark took us to, however, we still learnt more about these places and Mark showed us things we had missed. We are delighted with our fabulous photos and the great experience we had. Thank you.

A great way to see NYC!

I took this tour during a girls weekend. I highly recommend this tour! What a wonderful way to see the city as well as great pictures to share with friends and family back home. I was very satisfied with the tour. We went to places that I know I wouldn't have seen if it wasn't for Marc. He was awesome! He taught us how to use the subway system -which is a great and inexpensive way to get around the city. We would have never done this on our own and would have spent a fortune on cabs. Marc was very informative and you truly can see he loves sharing his city with you. He showed us sites that we would have never visited on our own as well as made great recommendations on the way. He even dropped us off at a great restaurant in Little Italy for lunch. He called us a couple of hours afterwards to tell us our pictures were ready and already waiting for us at the hotel. During that conversation, he gave us directions to some other sites to visit. I highly recommend this tour and I have shared his brochure and website with all my co-workers and friends. Having the trip captured professionally on film is worth the price alone. The memories are captured and everyone in your party are in the picture as well. A true benefit of a personal tour with a guide that has a great eye for photography!

Excellent!!!!

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.

Great souvenir of New York
Sat, Mar 31, 07   8:00 AM nik666 Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
What a great way to see New York. Marc told us all the great places to see shop and eat. He showed us to use the metro and gave us directions to all the places we wanted to see. We were only in New York for a weekend and would never have seen as much as we did without Marcs tour and help for getting around. On top of that we have a fantastic photo album. In the 2hrs we got alot more than the stated 70 photos and the quality is excellent (he even managed to catch my husband smiling) We had our doubts about what to expect but were really pleased and would definitely reccommend this to others, infact we will book again when we return with the kids. We booked 8am tour which was great as the streets werent too busy and it gave us the rest of the day to take marcs advice and explore the city. Our photos were at our hotel by 5pm the same evening.

We enjoyed the photo tour immensely.
Mon, Aug 10  8:00 AM nicolelake Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Considering it was just the two of us in our party, we certainly wanted photos with the both of us in them. The photo tour was the perfect oppertunity for us to secure photos with both my daughter and I in them. It was a fun tour and informative as well. I would recommend this tour to everyone that wants awsome photos of their trip.

An absolute must
Wed, May 27  11:00 AM nickboulton Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This was our first time in New York and I booked it as a special holiday for my wife. As we were there on our own we wanted something to remember the trip by so we booked this photo tour. We were really pleased that we did as we gained lots of useful information from Mark and found it to be very enjoyable as well as knowledgeable. If you are going to book anything when on a trip to New York then this is a must.

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.

Best tour ever
Tue, Oct 14, 08   2:00 PM Newtp56 Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Taking a Photo Trek tour is the biggest favour you can do for yourself if visiting New York City. Mark knows the city backwards, is informative, fun to spend time with and takes great shots that you could never get otherwise. The two big advantages: a great orientation to the city - find out about the history and culture, know where to go and where not to go, how to get around on the subway (not as straightforward as it seems but no problem once a local has given you the advice), ask as many questions as you like about NYC and, the second big plus - when it's all over you get a CD full of fantastic photos of you as a couple. Photo Trek tours is a great concept and well worth every cent. Thanks Mark - we love NYC!

"A Must Do" Tour
Tue, Sep 29  11:00 AM Nerissa1 Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This is the 1st thing my husband and I did when we landed in New York and we are so glad we did. Mark was very informative and the pictures have turned out amazing. Mark is a true local and gave us many tips and insights that you won't find in a book. Mark is friendly and a seasoned traveller himself and very easy to get along with. I was really afraid to catch the subway but it was one of the 1s things we did with Mark and it saved us a lot of money which I then put towards shopping! If there is one tour to do in New York, this is it!

Great Tour, Great Photo's, Great Fun !!!
Sun, Aug 19, 07   8:00 AM NeilMorris Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
Mark - we cannot thank you enough. Not only a personalised tour of the greatest city in the world , but a unique reminder of a fantastic family holiday. Anyone that can engage with my kids at 8.00am on a sunday morning deserves a medal - but from the moment that you met us at our hotel they were transformed. It certainly must be the best three hour tour of NY with a lifetime photo album thrown in for free ! Good luck with the business - you deserve your success.

2 Hours well spent !!!
Mon, Oct 27, 08   8:00 AM NeilClark Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was our first time in New York so we planned our photo trek on the first morning to also help us get orientated around Manhattan. We met Marc as exactly as planned and he really made us feel relaxed with ample opportunity to direct where we went. The tour was great .. not only the photos but also the information Marc gave us as we went around. So a great way to spend 2 or 3 hours in New York especially if like us you are only there for a few days. Phototrektours was recommended to us by a friend and we would have no hesitaton in passing on that recomendation having experienced it ourselves... Enjoy !!

Honeymoon Pics in NYC
Mon, Mar 31, 08   1:30 PM ncgalnc Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We highly recommend this photo excursion. We saw A LOT and learned some little nuggets of history (as well as NYC specific ettiquette) about the city from our tour guide that we would not have learned on our own. Also, our tour guide was great; we were totally comfortable navigating the city with him and chit chatting during our tour. Also, the Zerve folks (for the actual purchase of this package Online) were very helpful and nice over the phone. Overall, a must for getting the best photo opportunities. We got some great photos!

Great way to start out the visit to New York City
Thu, Jan 4, 07   1:30 PM NancyRood Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Mark was very good with people. He made my husband and me feel at ease. He taught us to use the subway and to not be intimidated by it. We saw more things in four hours than we would have otherwise seen in a week. He took over 150 pictures of us and the sites that we visited. He delivered these to us on a CD the next day. Mark has grown up in the City and so also gave us the feeling that we were meeting a local. He was very professional and at the same time friendly. My husband and I enjoyed the "tour" very much.

Fanastic way to see Manhattan & great pics!
Fri, Aug 29, 08   11:00 AM nadiap Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Very professional, great local knowledge, and came home with fanastic pictures of us both. Great for couples who don't want all their pics to be 'self-portraits'!!! Got to see & learn about heaps of little things we would not otherwise have visited or known about. Tip for anyone else considering taking the photo tour - wear comfy shoes and be prepared to walk fast! Had a wonderful time.

Highly Recommend
Thu, Jul 2  11:00 AM mzieroth Unspecified 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was the first and only organized tour we took while in New York City and we were not disappointed. This tour is well worth the money. Mark was extremely professional and proved to have a wealth of knowledge about the city. Not only did we end up with over one hundred amazing photographs, Mark also familiarized us with the city layout, the public transit system and made excellent restaurant recommendations. We took the 2 hour city tour and we were absolutely amazed at how much ground we were able to cover in that time period – We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a truly unique experience! Definitely 5 stars!
