Simply the BEST! My son and I were blessed to take a walking tour of the Brooklyn Bridge and various neighborhoods with Marc. He was COMPLETELY AMAZING. The photos are treasures for years to come! The entire package was reasonably priced not to mention Marc is a complete gem! My only regret is that I didn't book a second tour of Central Park with him. This was by far the best tour we did while in NYC (and we did it ALL) and I will forever cherish the memories and photos❤️ Thank you, Marc

Awesome Privately Guided Photo Tour Phototrek tours was a great experience! My best friend and I booked a tour with Marc. The photos are awesome and will last a lifetime. If you are going to Manhattan, NY, book this privately guided photo tour with Marc. You won’t be disappointed!

Great tour and fabulous photos!! Highly recommend. Second time using this company. We had a tour with Marc many years ago and was so good now we are back with our kids recreating the same memories and photo opportunities. We done the 3 hour tour, which flies by and you get so many areas packed in. With Marc showing you the tips and tricks of the subway etc we got around very swiftly. To top it all off , we had all our photos sent to us in super quick time (next day) which meant we could share our memories with others while still in NYC.Definitely recommend 10/10!

An incredible experience Amazing and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend booking!! Three generations together in NYC with a lifetime memory.

Amazing Absolutely amazing tour and worth every penny. Booked a fair bit in advance and gave Marc the places we wanted to see. Met him around 15 mins walk from our hotel and started off. First time square. The Central Park. Grand central station. Brooklyn bridge and dumbo. Marc knew his way around. Taught us how to use subway and gave so many tips and so much advice. Would highly recommend

Extremely knowledgeable tour guide and excellent pictures. Worth every penny and then some. While the price may seem high, it's a real bargain when we take the experience as a whole. In addition to getting a personalized walking tour of some of the most iconic New York spots, we got a terrific batch of professional photographs.A professional photographer knows how to get the best poses and shots. These ones you see here of us on the Brooklyn Bridge make it look like we were the only ones there. The picture could easily be a post card.The knowledge we learned during the tour by itself made the day worthwhile, too.Marc knows his stuff and he is also flexible to work with.Definitely want to work with him again.For others, this is something I could consider to be a must-do. Worth every penny and then some.

Great Experience! Such a great tour and wonderful pictures! Marc was excellent and very imformative! He catered to what our family wanted to see and gave us some tips on how to navigate the rest of our trip. Definitely recommend!

New York 2025 Amazing tour with Marc with amazing photos too. Marc made sure we got to see and experience so much of the city. He was full of knowledge and fun and knows all the ins and outs of the subway! Brought us through times square all the way out to brooklyn bridge and dumbo and fab neighbourhoods soho,Greenwich. So much to see and you see it all with Marc, a real experience. Hes a fantastic photographer, we got some incredible shots. He was punctual, professional and so friendly the tour and photos are so worth it. A great day,definitely worth doing,would highly recommend for all ages. Big thanks Marc

Exceptional photo reportage . A wonderful memory! Marx was professional and fun, and took so many beautiful photos that will help keep our memories of this splendid city alive!

Memorable tour with Marc with photos to document! Marc was FABULOUS! In addition to the stunning photos he took, the tour was amazing. It was a first time visit for all of us and he showed us areas we would have never seen or found without his help. He gave us an overview of the subway, which allowed us to navigate more confidently. I highly recommend his service and would 100% book him again !

Great tour! Very enjoyable tour of Brooklyn Bridge and surrounding area. The view of Manhattan from the Brooklyn side was epic. Marc knows a lot about all the details of the area and took many wonderful pictures during the tour. Thank you Marc!

Professional pictures but also valuable insights for your visit to NYC! Excellent tour with Mark! As a professional photographer, he knows all the right places and takes pictures you wouldn’t think of. But on top of that, he also helps reviewing your plans for visiting the city, swapping not-do-good places with better options. So best doing this at the beginning of your visit!

Fantastic Experience & Photos! We were referred to Photo Trek Tours by friends who had done it previously - this is a MUST DO experience - and highly recommend doing this on the front end of your trip. Our photographer Marc was amazing - we chose Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge and then asked Marc to recommend our final spot (Greenwich Village - fantastic). He's local and really knowledgeable about NYC and also gave us great subway tips. Our pictures are beautiful (we now have our holiday card pictures done) - Marc's really a pro at setting up great shots at each location. We were very happy with our experience, and would recommend to anyone coming to NYC. And, your pictures far exceed anything you could do on your own!

Best tour ever Mark was excellent. He was flexible and waited for our group as we were running late. He was nice and pictures came fast. Plus he was entertaining

Fantastic Photo Tour with Expert Guidance! Marc was an excellent tour guide and professional photographer! His deep knowledge of the city gave us the confidence to navigate with ease, making the rest of our trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend booking this experience early in your visit to take advantage of the insights and tips he shares.The photos were incredible. Marc captured so many amazing shots we wouldn’t have been able to get on our own. We loved exploring neighborhoods like Soho, Noho, and Greenwich Village, as well as seeing the Brooklyn Bridge from a unique perspective.Overall, a fantastic experience that was definitely worth it! Highly recommend!

NYC Photo Tour Marc as a guide and photographer made this entire experience so great! He was knowledgeable since he’s a local and we loved that he was so friendly and knew so many people as we did our tour. The views were amazing and we got photos at such iconic NYC locations. Highly recommend Marc!

NYC Photo Tour This is the 3rd time we have done the photo tour with Marc. He is awesome and makes the experience so much fun. Definitely recommend!!!

Amazing Tour Experience! Such a wonderful experience! We had such a great time on this tour. Marc was excellent and gave such great advice on navigating the city and info on different places in NY. The pics are wonderful and capture sweet moments on our trip. 10/10 would recommend!!

Marc's photo tour was absolutely spectacular! Marc's photo tour was absolutely spectacular. It was a wedding gift from my husband to me to capture a part of our honeymoon. Wonderful experience, super helpful tips & priceless photos that captured very special memories for us. Cannot recommend highly enough - thank you Marc!

Family memories Took time in Central Park for pictures and then Brooklyn bridge. Weather wasn’t optimal but great experience and advice for our time in NYC.

The trip and everything we saw was spectacular, I recommend this tour with photos. Extraordinary experience with the guide, very respectful and with a lot of information about the places we visited on the walking tour and on the train.

Could not recommend enough! Marc was an amazing guide! Could not recommend enough!Marc was an amazing guide! We did this on our second day in NYC and he showed us all the highlights. He took the time explain the subway, making navigation for the rest of the week much easier. Plus made some great recommendations including a great place for pizza when the tour.The photos he took were stunning, and we came away with some many, Marc really made it look like we had the whole place to ourselves. To top it all off he got the full edits to us that same day!

Great pictures, tour, and knowledge of the city. Our photographer, Marc Samuels, was excellent. His pictures were awesome and the tour was amazing. We covered a lot of sites of the city in a 2 hour period of time. We had a great experience and recommend it for your trip.

Great experience Marc was awesome. Very amiable and knowledgeable about New York. He’s a great photographer and made every effort to make each photo the best. Would highly recommend.

Take the tour!!! 🌃🍎🚕🗽 We had a the BEST two hour tour with Marc! He showed us more of New York 🌃 in two hours than you could see by yourself in a day. He taught us how to use the subway and took awesome pictures along the way. Money well spent! We were a group of four women and we felt comfortable and safe.

Fabulous time in NYC We had so much fun with Marc. We got a fabulous tour of NYC and hopefully a bunch of great photos. He graciously took some photos with our own phone which was great for the immediate gratification side of things.

A GREAT day in the city with Marc! We visited NYC to celebrate our 15th anniversary and wanted to capture some memories, so we hired Marc to help us with this. What a fun day it was! Marc loaded us up with delightful photos and knowledge as we toured the Brooklyn bridge, SoHo, and Greenwich Village. It was one of the best days of the week. Marc is fun, passionate, and a delight to be around. He is professional and full of good ideas. I would highly recommend to book him for insightful knowledge, a fun several hours, and fantastic photos to capture your memories. After all, it is the memories that fill our souls!

NYC from a different angle This was a truly AMAZING experience. My husband and I are lifelong New Yorkers but we got to see Nee York from a different angle. Our tour guide, Marc was incredible. He made the experience memorable and the photos he took were breathtaking. We took photos on the Brooklyn Bridge with hundreds of people around but in the photos the way he timed and angled them made it look like we were the only people on the bridge. We took photos in several different parts of the city and travelled around on the subway. I would recommend this for everyone that wants to capture unique pictures and create memories.

New York City Walking Food Tour This was such an enjoyable experience! Marc is a wonderful photographer and tour guide. We saw several different areas of the city, rode the subway with him, and walked on the Brooklyn Bridge. We have great photos of our trip to New York. He even guided us to a great pizza place for lunch after our tour. I highly recommend this experience!!

Fabulous tour The tour was great especially for the first day in New York. Marc showed us lots of interesting spots in couple of hours and the photos turned out to be very beautiful and remained as beautiful memories for us

Best tour in Manhattan! Wish I could give 10 stars! We did quite a few tours from bus to ferry but this was hands down by far the best experience. Our tour guide was super friendly and very informative. He made getting on the subway a breeze and his knowledge of the city was impeccable. Worth every penny!

Awesome Guy and Tour Guide/Photographer We decided to hire a tour guide, since this was my daughter’s first leisure trip to NY. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Marc was great and had a good sense of humor. My daughter and I had a great experience with Marc @ PhotoTrek Tours. He was prompt, accommodating, and professional. He met up with us at Time Square as we were running late for the appointment. He took us for a brief tour around SOHO, Greenwich Village, and a walk on the Brooklyn Bridge. He is informative, friendly, and a great photographer. He taught us how to catch the subway without getting lost, which saved me a good amount of money for the remainder of our stay in NY. The photo was good too! We plan on booking him again!

So much fun with the best tour guide in the city! We had THE BEST time with Marc. He is so much fun to hang out with and he is an awesome tour guide! Highly recommend this tour. Do it on your first day in the city so you can follow all his recommendations and learn how to use the subway. Also keep your fingers crossed for a cloudy/partly cloudy day. Some of our photos didn't come out very good because it was 100% sunny (no fault of the photographer, it's just hard to take nice photos in bright sunlight!) However, we still had so much fun and it's a day we will never forget! Book it now, do not wait!

One of the highlights of our trip to NYC. This was a great way to start our trip to NYC! We went to several different locations and had a great time. Marc was very informative and helpful. We were able to successfully navigate the subway after the tour because of his help. We received an email with our photos before we were home. I can't wait to get our pictures printed. They are wonderful!

Perfect experience and such a great way to capture a memory with your whole group! What a fun experience and a perfect way to get your whole family into a picture on your vacation rather than having someone missing to take the shot! Marc was super friendly and responsive. We had a group with some older folks and some kids who were already wiped out from a big day or touring NYC and he let us just pick just the areas of town that we were really interested in seeing and went out of his way to be sure that every member of the group had the picture that they wanted (even my 6 year old who desperately wanted a spiderman picture on the Brooklyn Bridge). We will definitely look for something like this again when we travel and hope that we end up with a guide as great as Marc. Highly recommend and many thanks to Marc again for such a great day!

Our best experience in NYC...do it!!!!! I highly recommend this tour!! Especially if you have never done NYC before. If possible request, Marc Samuels. Marc was absolutely fantastic!!! Not only did he get photos and make sure everything was perfect in the scene; but he also cared about us. He bought us water when it got hot. Asked for our input and took us to all the places we requested. As a side note, he suggested more things for us to do during our stay and we did them all and they were great suggestions!!! Marc was the most knowledgeable tour guide we encountered during our stay in NYC. And his photo eye was spot on! He took the time to capture the best photos!

Great photoshoot! It was a great experience, i have beautiful pictures of myself and i had a great time with Marc! It was money well spent. I will do it again next time i visit NY!

Must do! Marc was so nice and fun to do a walking photo tour with. He takes you to all the cool sites and does your pics for you while teaching you the subway, neighborhoods, and gives good advice for must dos and donts.

Top! Amazing experience! Marc quickly showed us around the metro and showed us the highlights in 3 hours.The photos were taken quickly and we are very happy with them.An absolute must!!

New York photos Marc was very professional on the shoot. And he had lots of patience with us since my husband was working while talking pictures. He showed us how to take the subway and took us to great places on the photo shoot. Thanks again Marc. We will get the same package again definitely

Perfect choice We had such an amazing 2 hrs with. Kennedy our photographer and tour guide. Such a lovely gent. Picked us up just off Times Square and took us on a wonderful and informative walk around the sights. Also help us understand the subway making the rest of our hols less stressful. Kennedy knew how to take a good photo aswell!!! After 48 hrs we received some beautiful photos. It was a perfect souvenir of our trip , best way to get photos together without having to find people to take them. Cant recommend this activity high enough.

Subway Education, Personal Photographer and Tour! Who Could Ask for More!? Marc Samuels, Photo Trek Tours is indead the first tour everyone should take when they first get to NYC!! He gave us a wonderful tour including Time Square, SOHO, and The Brooklyn Bridge! We rode and he educated us on traveling via subway. He took many photos and was very professional, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable!! Worth every penny and more!! Be prepared to walk, talk and be awed!!!

He hit the Marc! My husband and I wanted more than just selfies on our trip to NYC. Marc Samuels at PhotoTrek Tours was amazing. He was a true New Yorker. We appreciated his knowledge of the city, subway tutorial, and great food and entertainment recommendations. He knew the best photo spots and was patient to wait for the perfect time to take the picture to make it seem like we were the only ones there (we both know that wasn't the case). He took pictures with our phones as well, so we had instant gratification. He also emailed us with the entire photo catalog within 24 hours. Thank you, Marc. This was a great experience!

The best way to see the city Of all the experiences we had in NYC this was one of, if not THE, best. Kennedy was super friendly, knowledgable and a true professional. I've told all my friends this is something you can't miss if you visit New York. We were taken to various places of interest in the city, given lots of useful information and, in to the bargain, we also have heaps of lovely family photos we would never have taken (or been capable of taking) ourselves.Thanks Kennedy, if you ever happen to be in Tuscany and still have our number we're always good for an aperitivo!

Amazing tour memories for a lifetime’s Marc our tour guide was amazing! Amazing photo spots and great info.You get so many photos for memories of a lifetime. Well with the $$$

Can't Miss Tour/Pics!!!! The highlight of our trip. Marc was an amazing guide, made the trip fun, saw many sites and love the tons of pics he took. This is a can't miss tour!!!!!!

Great Experience, this was our 2nd time doing this We did a tour with Marc 13 years ago and I had coordinated to propose to my finance. Fast forward 13 years and we decided to do the tour again with Marc and our two children. Marc does a great job doing the tour and taking the pictures, would highly recommend it!

Christmas in NYC Marc is phenomenal! I genuinely cannot say enough good things about my experience. He was so easy to get along with and made me feel at ease so I could be myself as he took pictures. He listened to what I wanted and was quick to take pictures without making it look or feel staged or overly-posed. The best part is he is very accommodating. Thank you, Marc!

Absolutely fantastic family experience We had a wonderful time with Marc and the photos show it! From the moment we booked we were in touch to confirm what we wanted from the experience. Flexible, insightful and open to suggestions, we planned a tour that covered the highlights we wanted to see and the sites that Marc knew were essential. Great recommendations for more to do and landed in a perfect location for supper too. Highly recommend this as a family souvenir - see some of the city and capture great moments. The gift of memories for Christmas this year!

Phototrek Mark is simply amazing and GOOD at what he does! We liked all the pictures!. Thank you!!!I highly recommend!

Senior pic tour My daughter and I had a blast with Marc, he was very flexible with weather issues and was accommodating to all of our wishes. Best tour we could have wished for. Perfect senior pictures! Would totally recommend.

NYC pictures Great experience! Would recommend to everyone!! Was very fun and knew a lot about the city. He knew what he was doing.

A Day We Will Never Forget! We had an absolute blast!! Mr. Kennedy was truly incredible, made my proposal to my now fiancé an experience we will never forget! He took us on a really fun adventure through the city, telling us all sorts of cool facts and knowledge he has about the places we saw along the way. He made a real effort to make sure we had a great time and get the a lot of great photos. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Thank you!

Do Not Miss Out On This Experience If you are new to the city, don’t miss this opportunity. Marc is phenomenal as a guide and a photographer. He even helped us navigate our trip to Long Island the next day. We will cherish our photos and plan to use some as senior photos! So good.

Want a guide AND a photographer like you are a VIP!? Fantastic time with Marc who helped us with so much more than pictures. Subway tips, safety tips, info on places to eat and see. This is a perfect tour to do day 1 on your trip. Plus you get great pics in 48h. Thank you!

Even on a Rainy Day! My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience with the photographer. He was extremely nice and made the both of us comfortable when posing for photos. The photographer was extremely patient, due to the weather he was enthusiastic and optimistic. The photographer is also prompt and nothing stops him from getting good shots and maintaining his professionalism.

Highly Recommend!!! Marc was an amazing photographer and tour guide! He was very accommodating and he was efficient with our time. We saw a lot in a small amount of time. Marc, also, went out of his way to make sure we got on the right subway back to our hotel.

A must do for GREAT memories, captured. Marc was fantastic!! He took so many amazing pictures for us, and showed us all around NYC. He gave us a tutorial on how to navigate the city by Subway, and save some money. :). Additionally He gave us so many recommendations for what to do around the city. He even got a 16 year old to smile a time ot two, which is no small feat!! :) Thank you Marc for making the experience one of the highlights of our trip to NYC.

Just book it! If you are even considering this, just book it!! Marc was AMAZING! Book this your first day! He not only shows you the best hot spots with great photo ops, he gives you all the NYC tips, waits for the crowd to get around you to get the best pictures, AND shows you around the subway system with tips on must see and must do. You have your own personal NYC tour guide who happens to take the BEST photos of your group. As the one always taking pictures, it was so nice not only not to have to worry about getting the pictures but also to be IN the pictures. He also took photos on our kids' phones for instant Instagram gratification. Any idea of a picture we had or grouping of people we wanted, he took. There is nothing else to think about. Just book it. I wish we could have had him take us around every day!

Great Pics that are a true keepsake Outstanding. Listened to what type of photos we wanted. Great variety. Even though the Times Square and the bridge were crowded, he knows how to get a shot that works. It was for my daughter's graduation, and she is really happy with the more artsy photos instead of just the standard pic. I would highly recommend.

Fun & Easy! Marc was great! So helpful, have great tips and advice on the city and how to get around. Flexible- gave us options on where we were going and even helped us plan out the rest of our trip with a few options depending on where our day would take us. Would absolutely go again and would highly recommend him and this tour to anyone heading to the city!

New York 3 hr tour Best thing I can recommend for anyone coming to New York. Marc was a brilliant guide and photographer. He eased us to how to use the underground, some great recommendations for local areas to visit also. But the highlight is his ability to take photos in crowed areas making it look like nobody else is around. When I return to New York I’ll be sure to book another tour with Marc to view more of this great city.

Fun photo tour! Marc made our quick visit to NYC very fun. He took us to multiple iconic locations for photos- and let me take my own as we went.

Highly recoomeded We were a group of 8 and Marc was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and fun. Our pictures are the best we have taken. He was also easy to talk to coordinate and fast in the return of his pictures. So worth it. Highly recommend.

Photo Tour in the concrete jungle. We enjoyed the two hours we spent with Marc. He made the whole experience so fun. Not only did we get some really good and fun pictures but we also got some history and recommendations for the rest of our trip. He customized our tour based on what we wanted. He is very good at poses and getting shots that look like people aren’t around when in reality there were lots of people around. Thank you Marc! Best Mother’s Day present. I will treasure these pictures forever.

Amazing day with Marc! I am so happy we did this tour!Our guide and photographer, Marc, was amazing. He went above and beyond to get spectacular shots. If you are looking to book something memorable …this is it!I’ve been to NYC many times and am always looking for new and interesting tours. To have the photos as keepsakes is so special.

Excellent Phototrek Tours May 2023 Had an excellent photo tour with Marc 1st May 2023. Marc was very patient with us as we had to rearrange a few times due to bad weather. Marc gave us lots of information about the places we were visiting. We now have lots of amazing photos which we would never had the skill or imagination to take. This is the 2nd time we have used Marc and would happily book him again. An excellent way to learn about NYC with fantastic family photos.

Great experience with Photo Trek Tours Perfect for older couples who do not take alot of selfies- Marc took more photos since our wedding !! Very knowledgeable of area and locations for perfect photo ops. Very friendly and experienced photographer.

Picture Perfect and a Dream Come True Marc of PhotoTrek Tours is an incredibly talented photographer and a spectacular tour guide. He is professional, punctual, and he provides high-quality service to his clients. He arrived to our meeting point early and he asked me several questions to be sure to tailor the tour and customize the photo shoot around my needs. During my private tour, Marc took me to sightsee several iconic NYC landmarks such as: Central Park, the Upper East Side, the Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, and the Plaza Hotel (i.e., the hotel featured in the classic holiday film, Home Alone). As an NYC native, Marc has a plethora of knowledge about the history, culture, and the many hidden gems that surround the city. In between photo takes, Marc, taught me how to navigate the subway system and he shared valuable insights about the city with me that helped make my stay in NYC more feasible and meaningful. Thanks so much for everything, Marc!

Great tour and photos! We had a great experience with Marc and recommend this tour! We did the tour early in our NYC trip and it was a great introduction to different areas of the city. The subway rides/overview helped us understand how to get around and really simplified what would otherwise have been confusing and intimidating. Marc personalized the tour based on our interests and took some great photos (including many on the Brooklyn Bridge that made it seem like we were the only ones there!). He was personable, knows and loves New York, and had great recommendations for things to do after the tour.

Best tour!! We had an amazing experience with Marc! He’s knowledgeable, personable, passionate and gets the best photos… would totally recommend if you’re ever in New York!

Very memorable experience - absolutely recommend to anyone visiting NYC! Marc was great guide and great photographer. I came to NY for a short trip with my 13y daughter. He took us to some special places around NYC and captured very special moments. It was superb experience and I highly recommend him on your next trip. SO SO amazing! thank you Marc!

Best of Brooklyn We booked a four person, 2 hour Brooklyn tour with Marc Samuels and it was so memorable and worthwhile. Marc was punctual & knowledgable - and just an overall great guy. As you tour, he quickly documents and takes the family pictures, individual shots, etc. What you are paying for is not just a tour, but native knowledge of the best, most photographic spots and areas. He'll suggest places to eat and also check out. The photos are given within 24 hours (usually 1-2 days) in a zip file and are professional grade. You get like over 60+ pics to download. Christmas card done! P.S. Book the earliest time slot - it's less busy and you still have the rest of the day to explore.

Highly recommended 👌 Marc You have captured our day so perfectly we could not have asked for more from you. You have been amazing, so professional and friendly! We will continue to recommend you to everyone!!

Great experience! I highly recommend doing this. Samuel has a great eye for detail and is a gifted photographer. He's very patient and nice. We had our family pics taken; our children, 9 & 6. We got our pictures really fast and they're all just beautiful!

Amazing Tour with Amazing Pics - best event in NYC! Marc is an amazing tour guide and photographer. We met Marc and he asked us what part's of the city we wanted to see most. He outlined a customized tour for us, beginning in Time Square. He was able to get photos without other people in them (serious skill!). Marc walked us through getting around the city. We took some iconic shots in Time Square, Central Park, Brown Stones, then took the subway to the Brooklyn Bridge. Along the way he also took some shots with our phones so we could share them with our family along the way. His shot of us on the Brooklyn Bridge (Pano) w/out people in the picture and the NY Skyline in the background is amazing! He was kind and courteous. This was our best event we did in NYC. He also gave me some addresses to follow from the Brooklyn Bridge through Soho, Chelsea Market, the Highline and the subway back to our hotel at Time Square. It was an amazing experience. At the end of the night we also had an email in our inbox with a link to download all of the pictures from that day. I cannot recommend this tour with Marc enough! Thank you!

Exceptional Marc went above and beyond to accommodate both our wants and our needs. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Some how in a city of millions of people, Marc made us feel like we were the only ones in New York city! Not to mention how great the photos turned out. Well done and I highly recommend 👏

18th Birthday Whirlwind Tour Marc was THE man!! We loved the experience and the subway help in addition to the tour and photos. He made this trip so so memorable and one that we won't ever forget! This was by far the best money we spent on our visit to NYC!!

Great way to capture pictures while you get a tour Great way to tour lots of things and get great pics all together. My 13 year old enjoyed seeing the sites and taking pictures for her birthday trip. Marc is accommodating and easy to communicate with.

Marc had us at bada bing bada boom! Had a great time - Marc is funny and knowledgeable - and we came away with the best souvenirs money can buy - pics of the two of us instead of just one or the other!!

Awesome adventure Marc delivered much more than we expected. Not only did he capture unique photos in the middle of the street in Times Square, with a cab driver, atThe Plaza plus beautiful Central Park photos, but he also imparted a lot of history. Marc is extremely knowledgeable in New York history as well as a highly talented photographer. We will certainly use him again when we return to the Big Apple.

Book this company for your NYC trip- you will not be disappointed Marc is the ultimate professional. This was a birthday treat and well worth it. The photographs will be a wonderful reminder of a great holiday experience. Marc tailored the photo walk to our pace ( a couple in our late 60s).Marc educated us on the subway and plus managing several photographs in-between. We visited Times Square /Central Park / Plaza Hotel - inside and out ( brownie points with children and grandchildren - Home Alone poses included!)We ended the tour at Brooklyn Bridge - quite the backdrop .We are not used to being the centre of attention or having our photograph taken . The last time we had so many photos was when we married 43 years ago! Marc was so patient , friendly and funny and the photographs demonstrated his experience with working all ages. This company is to be highly recommended . Book and you won’t be disappointed .

Fun and enriching experience! A fun and friendly experience with Marc, our professional photographer. We recommend it 200 percent!!!

Catpure memories for a lifetime in NYC AND get a walking tour = Great investment! Marc was an awesome walking tour guide and captured photos of our family at some of our favorite NYC spots. Was particularly special for us as we used his service 15 years ago, pre-kiddos when our family visited the city and my brother proposed to his now wife in central park. Highly recommend this walking photography tour for anyone on their first or second day in the city. You learn so much about how to get around and really get a feel for your bearings, AND, have photos of your crew that you don't have to worry about getting for the rest of your trip at some of the most popular spots. Totally worth the investment! Thank you, Marc!

NYC 2023 We enjoyed our tour with Marc. He was professional, punctual, and knowledgable about the city. This was our second tour in NYC with PhotoTrek tours. We look forward to coming back and learning more in the future. Thank you Marc, and team!

Entertaining photo shoot. This was our second time taking a photo tour of New York with Marc. The photographer is super personable and takes great photos. He also shows a lot of New York, making it entertaining and fun.

A Must for Manhattan Well worth it! Our guide Kennedy was knowledgeable, funny, and patient. He absolutely made this adventure a success. He allowed us for some off the agenda im-prompt-to sites that we really wanted to see. So many great photos. The tour allows you to see places without having to see them through your camera. This is a must if you are going to Manhattan.

So happy we hired an NYC pro - great photos! Marc is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about NYC and it shows! We had a fantastic experience with him and have tons of photos to choose from... and for once, all four of us are in the photos and they're not all selfies. ;-) I especially loved exploring the neighborhoods we wouldn't have ventured into otherwise. We discovered some amazing places and, of course, delicious eats (even a kolache bakery - who knew?!)I definitely recommend hiring Marc to take you around NYC if you want to see all the "must-see" sites but also get a peek into places you'd likely otherwise not go. Totally worth it!

Super fun photos!!! Marc met my daughter and I at an easy to find location, then reviewed with us the photos we wanted and incorporated our requests. He guided us through NYC's iconic spots for professional photo shots that he orchestrated for our best look, from flagging down taxis, kicking up our heels in front of Radio City Music Hall, fun subway shenanigans and incredible shots of us on the Brooklyn Bridge that were taken with no others in the background, though the most crowded on the day before New Year's eve. Marc is a master at his craft and we are sooo grateful for the individual and paired photos of the best New Year's ever!!!

Amazing tour! Amazing time with Marc. He was very professional and friendly! We really enjoyed our tour and definitely recommend him also we got really fast all the pictures with very good quality!

Amazing experience with excellent photos! This was an amazing experience. If anyone is in NYC I highly recommend this. It was a 2 hours whirlwind tour with a crash course on transportation. What he took us to see in 2 hours would have taken us days to navigate. We got some amazing photos that I will cherish. Marc was very kind and knowledgeable in addition to being an amazing photographer.

So good that my wife said I was right The trip was outstanding so much that my wife of 3X years admitted that I was right and it was worth it. Kennedy was excellent and navigated our family through the city and the subway. The picture are great and we had fun doing it.

Loved it! Pictures are amazing My son and I loved the pictures and tour. Marc exceeded my expectations. He was very friendly and very efficient. I was surprised he was able to get all the photos I requested and some extra ones in 2 hours. Highly recommend.

Great for a family tour of Brooklyn The whole event was superb. I did the 3-hour NYC Phototrek Tour with my late wife 8 years ago - I did the Brooklyn tour with my 3 kids, aged 22, 20 and 17. All had a wonderful and enjoyable tour with 102 first class photos as a result. Strongly recommended.

Our Experience With Marc Samuels, PhotoTrek Tours We strongly recommend PhotoTrekTours for your professional photographer services. Marc’s professionalism, knowledge, and friendly NY style gave us an unforgettable experience. Photos are breathtaking!

Amazing Photos Fantastic experience, not only did we get lots of amazing photos but Marc gave us lots of background for the places we visited and knew exactly how to make each shot appear to be just us despite some of the busy locations. We went from busy Times Square to Brooklyn Bridge and quieter Brooklyn Heights area, resulting in beautiful photos. Highly recommend, it is great to have so many photos of us both at stunning locations.

Fun walking tour and excellent pictures! Marc took amazing photos and took us to place in NYC we hadn't explored. Often the photos made it look like we were the only ones there even though there were lots of tourists (particularly on the Brooklyn bridge). Marc also shared some interesting facts and information about the city - perfect combination of walking and learning and we ended up with amazing photos. My boyfriend and I wanted the pictures to get good photos of the two of us together but would also be perfect for an engagement or family photos. Highly recommend and will definitely do a tour with Marc again!

Fun 2 hours! We spent two hours touring NYC with Marc and had a blast!His photos are so fun and he knows just the right angles to make the photos perfect.He also taught us a ton about NYC and the subway system!Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience . Marc's professionalism throughout the tour and photography process was excellent. 100% recommended.

INCREDIBLE! The best thing we did all trip! Fantastic photographic memories to last forever. Mark made us feel so comfortable (I’m not a fan of being in front of the camera) & the knowledge from a local was extremely helpful. We booked for our first morning in NYC & it really did help us get our bearings. Our photos are incredible & it’s so lovely to have more than just selfies. My daughter was pants at taking pics so without this tour there wouldn’t be many holiday snaps of me. I had a specific request for a location of a picture & this was accommodated, Mark even went above & beyond to help me make a video to send home to hubby in the UK. LOVED every minute!!!!

Our first trip to New York Highly recommend anyone to book with this tour company, loved every minute, photos are fab to ❤️🗽❤️

Great family experience Marc was so great, and this was an amazing family experience for us. We got the overview of the city with a personal guide to give us tips and tricks to navigate and really get a good feel of the city and bonus of great family photos. Doing this the first morning of our trip allow us to relax and enjoy the rest of the vacation, knowing I would not have to worry about the areas we were visiting and trying to get the perfect family shots. It allowed me to be with my family more, and the pictures and company was awesome. Thanks so much Marc!!

Great tour- great picture- Marc a great tour guide It’s the perfect opportunity to see nice spots of New York and make pictures. Marc did an amazing job.

Perfect highlight reel! I didn't have much time on my hands so this tour was perfect. Marc showcased the city and gave me lots of tips that made the rest of my stay worthwhile. And the photos were beautiful. I was travelling alone and got far better pictures than I would have achieved with a selfie stick!!

AMAZING! You need this for your trip to NYC. A must! Wow! I just got back home to Atlanta after an amazing weekend in New York for my son’s birthday! Marc was absolutely amazing. Very energetic, friendly, understanding, and kind. I cannot get enough of our photos!There is no way I would have experienced the city without his help. Let alone create such beautiful memories through these photos. I even told him that I would yet again use PhotoTrek on my next trip to New York. If you’re traveling to NY, book this asap! It is soooo worth it! My phone would have probably died or run out of storage. It definitely would have been harder finding my way to all these iconic places. So yea…schedule this and just let Marc enhance your experience. YOU rock, Marc. Thank you! I will be back!! 👌👌

The BEST experience.. Marc is ACES!! Marc is FIRST CLASS!!!... So much knowledge and helpful suggestions.. we felt the excitement of NYC thru his point of view. My kids had so much fun.. we covered so much ground in 3 hours.. but the memories and pictures will last a LIFETIME. We so appreciate you Marc.. thank you!

Awesome Pics and A great Tour! Marc was awesome moving us through 5 locations. We discussed agenda before we set off and he was not only a great tour guide but took some great pictures!

This tour is one of the best! Awesome tour! Really one of the highlights of our trip to NYC. Marc is the local guy you hope for to help point out what's good and what's not so good. He's incredibly skilled and flexible while also making your tour fun and easy. Can't say enough good things!!

Amazing! Our second time on this tour and it did not disappoint. Marc is an amazing photographer and tour guide!

A MUST DO TOUR!!!! Let me start out by saying Marc was FANTASTIC at what he does! My wife and I are blown away by the quality of the pictures but also the professionalism he provided. First of all, Marc was on-time for the start of the tour. He introduced himself and promised us a GREAT experience in NYC and he didn't disappoint! The reason we recommend this tour to everyone is the lessons Marc teaches you about New York in a very short time. The lesson on where to eat, what areas to look at and most importantly, how to ride the NYC subway!! The photos, the stories, the lessons and meeting Marc made this vacation for my wife and I the BEST yet!! Please see Marc, you won't be sorry!!!

Awesome 3 Hour Tour Marc is amazing! We have done his tour with several NYC visits! Always a joy to be around and he delivers great photos!

Amazing 3 hour photo tour Took the 3 hour tour and Marc even customized the tour to hit the locations we wanted that were not necessarily a regular location. Very accommodating! Got amazing pictures and highly recommended using this company to get some great professional shots while touring the city!

Fun photography day This was a perfect day walking around New York with a super fun and knowledgeable photographer. Pictures were fantastic too!

Perfect NYC Walking Tour Marc was an excellent tour guide! It was a great way for us to explore a big city in a short amount of time. Marc made great suggestions on where to go to make the best use of our time and see everything on our list and avoid what was not on our list. Marc had interesting stories and most importantly he was fun...now onto the photos. Marc is a very experienced photographer and took some really cool shots and made us look good at the same time. I would highly recommend Marc and this tour.

The Best Experience Ever!! Marc was an incredible tour guide! He gave us tips on different eatery places, things to see around NY; not just Time Square, helped us make the right decision on which route to take, which SOHO my fav. I would recommend this tour it's worth the money and really nice photos of the family!

Fun NYC tour/great photos Kennedy, our photographer/tour guide, was fantastic. We were so impressed with the tour itself- easy natured, fun filled guide of NYC, and the fabulous photos were just a bonus! Would absolutely recommend this tour. Thank you!

Great way to see/learn/and get amazing pics Great experience last Saturday with PhotoTrek Tours. Learned a lot about Brooklyn/NY and got a bunch of great pic. Wife loved it

Great Experience! We had a great experience with Marc with both the tour and photography portions! He actually provided great recommendations in terms of thinking outside of Times Square and tourist-heavy locations and also recommended great food spots (especially pizza). Thank you Marc for the experience and capturing the moments of our sibling NYC trip!

Impressive shots! 1. We did the private New York Walking Tour with included fotoshooting on our first day in NYC. As prementioned, this is the best way to start your tour, as Marc is a great guide and gives you a great overview over the city, even hints where to go after the tour. Besides he knows all the great spots for doing some impressive shots. Amazing outcome! Five stars rating! Worth every $. Go check it out :)!2. Wir haben die private New York Tour incl. Fotoshooting für unseren ersten Tag in NYC gebucht gehabt. Wie schon vorher gesagt, ist das die beste Art, die eigene Zeit in New York zu starten. Marc ist ein sehr guter Stadtführer und gibt Euch einen sehr guten Überblick über die Stadt. Er hat uns auch Anregungen gegeben, wo wir nach der Tour hingehen können. Inbesondere kennt er richtig gute Plätze, an denen er mit Euch beeindruckende Bilder machen wird. Die Fotos haben uns wirklich staunen lassen!Auf jeden Fall 5 Sterne. Die Tour ist jeden $ oder Euro wert. Wir können Marc und die Tour uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Seamless An excellent way to begin your NYC journey. Marc will help you learn how to navigate the busy city in the best way possible. Professional and Fun. This will not disappoint. Well worth the $$.

It was great! We had an enjoyable time! We went all over the city, got lots of tips, and had a fun time.The photos came out great. Well worth it!

A great way to save nyc memories Marc was a good guide. Recommended and if I do anything like it in nyc another trip I will use him again. Met us closer to our hotel and tried to personalize the tour to us. Nice to chat with along way. About 24 hr turn around for picture delivery.

Thank you!!! Really great photos. It really captured our trip. It was nice having our own private photographer. A plus is that he knows the city well and gives a lot of useful information. You will not regret it this tour. Thank you!

Fabulous!! Marc was highly recommended to us by a friend who had been on a tour with him. I'm so glad I was able to book Marc for the beginning of our trip. Along with taking beautiful photos he taught us how to use the subway and transportation system. We were set after that! He is very knowledgeable and gives great information about NY. He has great spots to capture great photos. I was on a mother daughter trip and we have so many beautiful pictures to help us remember. I'm so thankful to Marc for capturing our joy on our first to New York together.

Memories for a lifetime! WOW! Our photos are amazing and just what this mama wanted of our trip to NYC!How often do you travel with family and realize that one parent is missing in most of the pictures because they were taking the pictures? Marc was great to work with - a great communicator, efficient and relaxed. Our photos were ready in less than 24 hours! He captures so much of NYC in 2 hours! He also helped explain the subway and streets. This is a great value, experience and the photos will last a lifetime!

Worth it! Marc did a great job! Photos are excellent and he packed tons of classic sites into 2 hours, plus shared tons of great info. The price is reasonable. We ended up with over 130 photos - much more than we'd get in a traditional photo shoot of the same length.

Anniversary in the City Marc exceeded my expectations hands down!!! My husband and I travelled from Florida to Times Square to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Not only does Marc have an excellent eye for photography, but he helped us navigate the streets and subways of the city. The tour was everything. This experience was beyond memorable in every way and our pics....OMG SPEECHLESS!!! We are looking forward to meeting up with Marc again during our next visit! Marc - A million thanks for an enjoyable experience. L. and L. Jeffers

Best experience ever! This experience was exciting and truly an opportunity to live like a local with Marc guiding us, showing us highlights of each area we visited, getting some great pictures of our group and giving us great directions on the subway. We had some of our best fun on our trip during this time with Marc. He gave us tips of things to see and do and areas to visit that are not the typical tourist type activities so we could really experience the full value of the entire city. When it was time to end the tour, he told us exactly how to get to our next destination and made sure we were set before he left. Overall, this is a must do experience to complete any trip to New York City.

Amazing experience Amazing experience! Marc Samuels was very kind and relaxed. The photos turned out great. Great tour and wonderful tips on places to visit.

Must Do Tour with incredible pics as a keepsake! Wow and thank you!! I booked a PhotoTrek tour our first day in NYC and it was perfect!First off it was a great tour and we learned a lot about NYC. We went to Time Square, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, and road the subway. But the most impressive thing was the pictures. This guy is a legit photographer. He had such cool picture ideas and his timing was out of this world. For example - we were on the packed Brooklyn Bridge and he snapped pics that made it appear that we are completely alone. My mind is blown.The attached pics are ones he took with my phone (almost all pics he takes with his own professional camera).

Amazing tour of NYC We had an amazing time with Marc. We learned new things about New York and got to see more than just the 'tourist' areas. We highly recommend booking a tour with Photo Trek!

Best tour ever! With proof! The entire experience was A+! Marc communicated ahead of time and was extremely knowledgeable about where to go (including bathrooms along the way!), describing each thing and place we saw (from SoHo to DUMBO) with great zeal and detail. He chose amazing spots to get our photos, and despite it being a very busy day on each leg of our walk, his photos were so well done that it looks like we were basically the only ones there. He's a true professional, and our photos are gorgeous! He perfectly captured my daughter and me as we connected as friends at this stage of life. I can't recommend this tour and Marc enough. Amazing experience and photos to show for it!!

Best photographer for NY memories Marc was on time, and spot on with the best locations for the photographs. He gave us tips and sight scenes information. We took the subway and even managed to take amazing pictures there. He was friendly, informative, accommodating and lots of fun. Will recommend 100% to book this experience. Much better souvenirs and memoirs for a lifetime.Marc, you are the best.

Private NYC Walking Tour Marc did a excellent job! I highly recommend his services if you are looking for a personal tour guide and excellent pictures along the tour.

Absolutely worth it! I brought my toddler and 4 other family members to take memorable pictures on their first trip to NY. Marc did no disappoint! He was extremely friendly and was a pleasure to hang out with for a few hours. He helped us with the subway which made me feel so much better about traveling the city. The shots are AMAZING and I am so happy I booked this. I am the usual photographer for all our outings so it was really nice to let the professional handle it. Take away the stress and book this, you won't regret it.

Fun and fantastic! A must-do in NYC! This tour was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! Kennedy, our photographer guide was so much fun! New York would have been a much different experience (and far less awesome) if we were just sightseeing by ourselves. Having your photos taken there, and being shown around by a native who truly knows and loves the city made it a more memorable and engaging experience. Also, these are the types of pictures you really can't take by yourself, I wouldn't even try! When I look back at the photos I'll remember how much fun we were having. It makes everything more memorable. Highly recommended!

Perfect tour What a great day with Marc! So knowledgeable! Highly recommend taking this at the start of your trip- then you will be confident to ride subway etc the rest of your time in nyc.

Awesome Photo Seasion Our photographer was Kennedy and he was absolutely amazing! Not only did he show us a great time. He also gave us so many recommendations of things to make sure we did and it did not disappoint!! This was one of the highlights of our trip and Kennedy was absolutely amazing!! You definitely should make this part of your New York trip!

Can't recommend highly enough! Well Worth It! Marc provided the best walking tour that we have experienced in our travels. I encourage anyone visiting New York to take this tour. Marc was personable, and enjoyable. He had interesting information about New York, didn't push his knowledge, but instead offered details if the timing was right. He got us around the city quickly, with his local ability to know the subways, and he took us to the best places not only to see, but to take pictures. I ask, "who wouldn't want great pictures of their trip to New York?' Well, look no further ~ for an unbelievable low price, we left owning nearly 70 outstanding images of our time in New York with Marc. Thumbs up to Trip Advisor and to Marc of PhotoTrek Tours. This is a first class experience.

This was GREAT! Book it now! Marc is great! He was helpful (especially with the subway) knowledgeable about NY and we love the pics. Very friendly and enjoyable to work with. He custom designed the tour to accommodate what we wanted. Loved it!

Best way to see city Marc was absolutely fantastic. This is the best way to see the city, worth every penny and then some. We booked our session on first full day we where there, Marc gave us great advice on navigating so when we where done we had no problems, we where a lot more comfortable in the city for rest of our stay. And you get amazing shots you will never get with a selfie stick. Best purchase of the whole trip!

A Christmas Gift we will appreciate forever!! Marc was so awesome to work with!! He is a wealth of information about the beautiful scenic places he took us too and very talented as a photographer! He was so flexible for our photo desires and got some amazing shots I cant wait to post to social media and print to frame!! Highly recommend we received our tour as a christmas gift and now have memories we will never forget and the amazing pics to match!

A 'must do' experience in New York What a fantastic introduction to New York. Marc was amazing. Throughout the whole walk, he gave us so much advice about where to go, what to see and how to get there. Trying to work out the subway was looking pretty daunting until Marc showed us how easy it was. The photo's were fabulous too. From Times Square, to the subway and all across to Brooklyn Bridge, the photo's were better than we could ever have expected. This is a 'must do' if you're thinking of visiting The Big Apple.

Amazing time An unexpected highlight from our vacation! Would recommend!!!!!!!!!! Anamazing time. Fast paced - lots of different shots!

Fun and informative! Great photos! Marc was wonderful! We enjoyed our time as he guided us through some of the best photo spots. Highly recommend! We will look him up again when we return.

The best part of our trip to NYC!!!! The best pictures ever!!! Marc's tours are ten plus stars! Every NYC trip we go on Marc's tour. The pictures are amazing! He is so much fun and knows everything about NY. As soon as I decide on the date that we're going back to NYC in the spring, the first thing I'm going to do is book another tour with Marc. I promise, you will not be disappointed!

Amazing Photographer. The Photographer was such a nice person and very professional. I would recommend booking if you're in New York. The scenes were amazing.

New York City Visit This was our first trip to New York City with our boys and we wanted to have some special photos of our visit. Marc is super friendly. We all loved his energy and his professionalism. He shared with us lots of important information about the city and how to move around. He provided us with over 100 photos that exceeded our expectations. This was money well spent. We do recommend his services.

Five Star Rating and 5 being The Best Marc was a great tour guide/photographer. Not only was he prompt but very informative as well as people oriented. I would definitely highly recommend not to pass up a great opportunity to learn about the city while simultaneously being photographed. My photos were available the following day and without hesitation I give Marc 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you Marc.

Best tour for a memorable trip to NYC Excellent experience.. Marc was an awesome guide.. very helpful, Knowledgeable about the area, wonderful photographer.. and knows all the best places to go to make the most of your NYC vacation and truly have a spectacularly memorable trip.. highly recommend for any 1st time visit to New york.. or even any who may be returning .. you will not be disappointed

Amazing Experience In New York! Marc was amazing to spend time with. Not only did he know the city well, he has a wonderful sense of humor and a great eye for photography! My wife and I did the 2 hour photo tour and it went by so quickly. Marc took us around to some great places for pictures and helped us plan our itinerary. He helped us get around on the subway and back to our hotel afterwards. This was well worth it. We cannot wait to go back and book another photo tour with Marc. Plus...the pictures were ready for us to download very quickly. Such a great time with Marc and Photo Trek Tours!

Great professional quality photos in NYC!! Marc was great to work with! Mark took my wife, our 3 year old daughter, and I on a 2 hour photo tour around NYC. We were able to get through a lot of the main attractions in the city, and the photos turned out great! He is a wealth of knowledge about NYC/Brooklyn, and helped us get some really fantastic photos while we were in town that would have otherwise been impossible. His communication prior to our tour, and immediately after (including delivery of all the digital prints) made the whole process a breeze. I would highly recommend Marc!!

Private Photo Tour Well Worth It I love pictures of our trips and vacations and was pondering getting a personal photographer for our trip to New York. The pictures I saw of the Brooklyn Bridge sold it for me. After booking the tour, Marc promptly contacted me and we discussed points of interest we wanted to see and how it would work out. His communication was excellent, we arrived at our meeting point early and lo and behold he was there already. We received his attention the entire time and he took great care of us. Our small group consisted of myself, the wife and our 14 yr old niece who was in hog heaven that she was having her picture taken by a professional. I had requested pictures of us together as a family, then my wife and myself and then finally the niece all by herself. Marc accommodated us with no issues. Marc took us around to the places we wanted to go and he also provided a brief history lesson about our stops. After the tour we were beyond satisfied, ....and then we received the pictures. Oh my the pictures were absolutely AMAZING!!! Right now we are trying to decide which ones to have enlarged. We went to Central Park two days later, I wish we had Marc with us then but hey we plan on returning and when we do we will arrange to have our pics taken by him. If you're on the fence about getting a photographer, DO IT, it's worth the time and money! Thanks Marc!

Perfect in every way. Marc exceeded our expectations. He was knowledgeable, flexible, and helpful. Oh - and he took some amazing photos also. Worth every penny. Met us in Times Square, helped us navigate the subway, and led us to explore Brooklyn where we spent time in places we wouldn't have found otherwise. This isn't just some guy with a camera. He is a professional who takes some of the best photos you could ask for. Don't hesitate - book this man!

Highly Recommended We scheduled the photo tour for the morning of our first day which worked out great. Not only did we get great pictures and a quick tour of a handful of locations we got some historical background of the locations and Marc gave us great tips of places to check out the rest of our day/trip. I'd definitely recommend the trip to anyone planning a trip to NY city and try to squeeze it in early in your trip.

Best part of our vacation! Our first PhotoTrek tour was in 2003. On that tour, I proposed. We took a second tour on our honeymoon the following year because we loved the pictures, the tour and the personal touch Marc gives so much. When we decided to come back to Mew York with our three girls, we knew we had to do another tour with Marc. I can’t tell you how thankful My wife and I are to have these memories documented with our girls. We had to reschedule our travel twice due to Covid and Marc was incredibly accommodating. On the day of our scheduled tour it was raining, but Marc still took the time to come meet us- gave us a refresher on using the subway, recommend some restaurants and got in a few pictures. We rescheduled for the next day and the experience was amazing. If you find yourself in New York, schedule some time with Marc. So great to have a personalized tour and photos with everyone in them. Extremely quick turn around with the photos and they were incredible.

Fantastic Morning in the Park Our photo tour was awesome! Marc was a great guide and was an even better photographer. He knew a ton of great spots for intimate and unique shots in Central Park and the Upper West Side. Would definitely recommend PhotoTrek Tours!

Exhiliratig We absolutely loved the tour. Marc was very great! He was energetic and had a great personality. He made the tour exciting and fun. Also, he takes great photos!

A fantastic tour! Marc is a great photographer- so creative and energetic!!! We really enjoyed his knowledge and appreciation of all the different neighborhoods.

So much fun! Our photographer Marc Samuels was a wealth of information about New York City. He took us all over--from Times Square to Central Park to Brooklyn... and he taught us about using the subway. The photos he snapped were awesome. He recommended sites to see, restaurants, etc. It was a great way to kick off our first full day in the big city! Would totally recommend this to other travels to New York.

Fun Tour Captured in Photographs! My favorite souvenirs of a trip are always the photographs, and it was great to run around NYC with Marc and not have to worry about being behind the camera or ask strangers to take our photo. We have been to NYC many times, and Marc was more than willing to customize our tour. We did Times Square, SoHo, shots on the subway, misc. places along the way, and the highlight, which was the Brooklyn Bridge. Since we were in town for the Billy Joel concert at Madison Square Garden that night, Marc even brought us to MSG and took our photo in front of the marquee featuring Billy Joel. The next day Marc sent over 100 photos. Download was a snap. I definitely recommend this tour. It is a fast two hours but fun, different, and I don't know of another tour where you get to take home dozens of photos. Just be prepared as it is NYC after all and you'll often need to be quick to get the shot. Thanks Marc!

Photo tour with Marc Marc was fantastic, informative, knowledgeable and super friendly. Made the day really worthwhile. The best way to see parts of the New York City and take home some great memories! This tour was so amazing that it combined a tour of the city, facts about the area, tips on where I should go during my time in NYC, and some wonderful photos! The tour was interesting from the minute I got to 42nd str until he left me at the Dumbo. Even when he was leaving me he made sure I knew how to get back. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Great start to the holiday.... :) Just want to say a HUGE thank you Marc for our tour in NYC,was so nice to not always be behind the camera lens, your wealth of knowledge help and advice and amazing pics you took for us very much appreciated...it really made our trip so much better... thank you...oh and we managed to negotiate the subway with no problems after you explained how to use it...thank you, highly recommended :)👌👌

DO THIS!! My fiancé and I were visiting New York City all the way from Texas and wanted some fun shots around the city. Marc not only took beautiful photos, but also was an incredible tour guide. It felt like we learned more and saw more of NYC in those 2 hours than we had the 2 days we had already been there. We are so happy we have so many great shots to remember our trip by. Marc, thank you SO much for everything! We would seriously consider doing this again the next time we come. Definitely something you should do!

Fantastic, would recommend to anyone Marc is a great photographer and tour guide. He will take you to lots of places you wouldn't have otherwise visited. For anyone on the fence about booking, I would 100% recommend to book.

Amazing Tour of NYC Marc Samuels guided me and my bestie on a fabulous walking tour of NYC! I wasn't sure what to expect, but he far exceeded my expectations! He helped us create wonderful memories of our trip with some amazing photos that we will cherish. If you are going to NYC setting up a tour with Marc is a MUST!

Great experience and photos! Who doesn’t want to have some great photos taken while sight seeing?!? Marc was awesome and gave a lot of great information about local places along the way. He tailors the tour to your interests. The photos are great quality and will be cherished for a lifetime!

Had a Blast with Kennedy!! We had so much fun with Kennedy!! It was like being in NYC with our best friend. He took us to so many places, our pics are excellent, he gave suggestions for places to visit/eat, and how to get around easily. This was the first thing we chose to do in NYC and it was the best choice. Kennedy really put us in the spirit of NYC and made us feel comfortable about getting around the city. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!!

Awesome Way to Make NYC Personal and Memorable! I am SO thankful that we took a leap of faith and booked this! Marc was awesome- very helpful, friendly and made the photoshoot exactly what we wanted- and knew things we didn't even know we wanted! It is worth every cent to get oriented with the city, have amazing photos to look back on and have a great day in the city!

Marc was just amazing One of THE best event we booked on our 1week stay in NY! Marc Samuels was our guide and he was incredible. Apart from constantly asking us what we want to see (what we surely did not know ;) he "judged us" and he "judged right": giving us just the most perfect 3.5 hours! We visited the next days several of the places he pointed out to us and we can only recommend him a lot! And btw: we got the nicest pictures of us ever. Truly a great event! Thanks a lot!!

Brilliant Tour - Made To Feel Very Special We originally had our tour booked for Sunday. The weather forecast unfortunately was predicting a wash out. Marc got in touch the day before and we rearranged our tour with Kennedy the next Tuesday.Blue cloudless skies awaited us at the meeting point in Times Square. To say we felt like movie stars is an understatement.Kennedy was polite, knowledgeable and very funny. There was not a point during the tour where we felt disinterested......pure fun all the way.We saw New York in very much a different light.....much more up close and personal than the other tours we attended. The main advantage is this tour allows you to orientate yourself and get to know the streets very quickly allowing you to get around very easily for the remainder of your stay.Times Square, Central Park, The Plaza, a ride on the Subway, to name a few are all included. The tour quite rightly ends on the magnificent Brooklyn Bridge where we spent time with Kennedy who expertly described the structures history (as he did at every stop on the tour.)Be prepared to walk so wear comfortable shoes. You will also smile loads not just because you are being snapped every few minutes but because it is so much fun!This is a must for first timers in NYC and worth every penny spent. We received our photographs within 24 hours...........nearly 200 of them!A brilliant morning with a fantastic host. Thank you Kennedy and Marc. It made our visit to your great city unforgettable.

NYC tour fantastic The best thing we booked. Great information on tour help with getting around subway etc. Excellent photos fantastic knowledge of NYC invaluable

So awesome! This was by far one of my favorite things we did on our trip! Marc was so knowledgeable about NYC and took really great photos! He’s so creative and we are absolutely thrilled with the outcome. He gave us great places to visit and told us history about Central Park and the city. I HIGHLY recommend this service to everyone!!!!!

Great tour, amazing photos! Marc Samuels took us on a lovely tour including Central Park, Times Square, the Brooklyn Bridge and more! We have amazing family photos and learned a lot, too!

New York Walking Tour This tour was great! Marc was super easy to work with and lots of fun. He was also very knowledgeable and we got some great photos!!

Fantastic Tour Without Feeling Like A Tourist We loved this tour/photos with Marc. It was the highlight of our trip. He took us to several places for pictures, all while sharing the history of NYC, giving us recommendations, and teaching us the ins and outs of the NYC subway. We felt like we were walking around with a good friend from the city who was showing us the sights. We did not feel like tourists (which was why I loved it) and the photos were totally unobtrusive as we walked. This is a GREAT way to get a tour of the city and learn where to go, what to do, and how to get there. Marc’s recommendations were top notch, and things you wouldn’t get from a travel book. And, of course, we came home with some wonderful pictures in iconic spots! Highly recommend!

Best Tour Ever + Memories! We are so glad we did this! Four of us friends traveled to NY and thought this would be a fun way to commemorate the trip. Marc was our guide/photographer and he was wonderful. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and customized the tour to what we wanted to see! Would 100% do it again!

Where has this been all my life? Wonderful tour and photography session with Kennedy! It was so fun to go through New York and see the sights and not have to worry about getting out our cameras, taking selfies, or trying to talk strangers into taking our pictures. Pictures turned out great!!

Must do! Marc was great, timely, flexible with our change in schedule, and very knowledgeable about the city. I will say at first glance of the photos (on my phone) I was a little disappointed, BUT as it turns out I can see the full photo on my laptop and phone was cutting off half the photo. Nonetheless photos came out great. Be prepared for lots of walking. Below is my favorite photo Marc captured of my husband and I.

Fabulous experience with a fabulous guide/photographer! My family were visiting NYC and we wanted to experience this awesome city with a guide who can also function as a photographer, since there's nothing more disappointing than those awful selfie/phone shots that don't capture the moment or landmark when you need it most. That's where Marc come in. He's a friendly and knowledgeable guide who took us to various landmarks in the city, and took photos of us at every location, in various angles, and with both group shots and individual shots.He was even kind and patient enough to take some duplicate shots with our phones! All in all, we had a great time with him and learned a lot about this incredible city...and best of all, by the next day we had a link sent to our emails containing GORGEOUS photos of every location we visited. There is no way we could have captured these kind of images with our phones or even a professional camera (unless you don't mind one member of your group missing in the image). Our extended family have been raving about our shots and we're so pleased we booked this awesome and original format of touring. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!

10th Birthday Photoshoot We booked Marc for our girls (best friends) 10th Birthday trip. We got a ton of amazing photos and the girls learned a ton about navigating the city, especially the subway. He graciously accommodated our requests for a location not on the typical list and gave us options on what we could fit in during our 3 hours. So glad we made the haul to the Brooklyn Bridge, we would have never done that on our own and he knew the perfect spots to get great shots. Turn around time was super fast and we got a lot of images. Highly recommend

Great afternoon with Mark My wife and I did the photo tour with Mark. He was great we met him in midtown and we discussed what we had seen in the prior couple of days in the city. Mark put together a fun tour of Times Square and center all park. We got some great pictures and had a lot of fun seeing things we would have missed without him. If you are thinking about booking this tour do it you won’t regret the choice

Anniversary Adventure For our anniversary, my wife and I decided that we wanted to be a tourist in our backyard. Kennedy, our tour guide and private photographer, made it a fun and informative day for us. He was kind and courteous, funny, professional, and personable. The best part is that we had a great time and he was able to capture these special memories for us to cherish for all time.Also, I have to mention how great Marc was. Although I did not get to meet him in person, he was very responsive to every email, text, and telephone call. He also agreed to do a 3 hour tour, when there was only a 2 hour tour slotted. I also have to mention that Kennedy was very accommodating to our schedule, meeting us 30 minutes before our scheduled time. When I think back on the whole experience, it could not have been any better and will definitely book another one of their other tours. I highly recommend Photo Trek Tours!

Click! Kennedy was a masterful tour guide. He led us through the streets of downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn while capturing amazing shots. As tourists in our town, we had seen many of these places before, but through Kennedy, we were able to enjoy the scenery while he captured quintessential shots of us. It was also fun to hear his great stories while he walked us in and out of the neighborhoods of NY. You don't need to be from out of town to learn more about where you live.

Vacation What an awesome experience. Kennedy, our photographer, put us at ease and was a complete pleasure to work with. He showed us everything we could hope for in the time available and was so entertaining and informative and was soooo funny. Great experience - I highly recommend.

Excellent memories!! Delighted by this tour with Marc, who was able to perfectly immortalize our little trip to New York. Excellent memories full of eyes, and photos full of emotion! There were three of us, so it was the perfect opportunity to bring back unforgettable photos, while fully enjoying the stay. We highly recommend this activity, special mention for our guide Marc, who shared his New York experience with us and was able to recommend great places!

NYC Tour Great tour to get you out in different parts of the city. It gives you a little subway experience if you have none in NYC. Brooklyn Bridge was our favorite.

What a great tour! If you are ever in New York City this is definitely a must! Marc takes you to all of the highlights and gives you a lot of information along the way. He showed us how to maneuver the subway system, which was amazing! Thank you for such a great start to my first trip to New York!

This tour was one of the top highlights of our trip to NY! Marc was amazing and made our tour interesting and fun! We were on a mother/daughter/granddaughter trip. Marc captured amazing moments in the photography that will create lasting memories for us! Marc made us feel comfortable and safe in the big city. He also took us to places we would have not gone on our own. I cannot recommend Marc and this tour enough!!!

PhotoTrek It was a great tour. He was very informative. He was good on time and helped us to find local places to see. Thanks so much!

Funny and interesting tour and Photoshoot It was the second visit in New York, and this time I wanted photos with all of us together. I was happy, to find Marc on trip advisor and booked a three hours tour. Marc was very flexible, he asked us, what we had already seen last year. We managed to see a lot of sightseeing places and got a lot of interesting information. Marc made a lot of very nice photos and was extremely funny. We had a lot of fun, too, and I cal really recommend this tour.

GREAT family pics Marc was AWESOME! This trip was a "celebration vacation", 20 yrs of marriage, oldest graduating HS and turning 18 and our youngest turning 16. Great info about NYC and great tips from Marc for stuff to see off the beaten path. AMAZING pics to capture the family vacation! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

One I will never forget! Marc was amazing. He got us to so many locations and plenty of shots within our 3hr window. Brooklyn Bridge will forever be the highlight of the tour for me, as unbeknown to me my partner proposed to me and Marc was able to capture the moment perfectly with as little other people in the shot possible even tho the bridge was packed! Marc has some serious photography skills!! NYC will forever have my heart and we are already planning to come back. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Marc as your photographer and we will book him again when we come back and explore more of NYC. Thanks Marc :)

What a great idea . Having been to NYC five times, I didn't know about this service. What a brilliant idea. I'll probably try it next time.
