- Most of the tour will require a good deal of walking, however, because the tours are exclusive to your group, you can and will go at a pace that you are comfortable with. There may be occasions when you will need to go from one part of NYC to another (Times Square to the Brooklyn Bridge). The most efficient way to travel is by subway ($2.90 per person, per ride). If you prefer a cab this can be arranged (no more than 4 people to a cab). The cost will be at the expense of the group, usually about $10 - $15 from most points within Manhattan. If you do take a subway ride, this will be documented as part of the New York City experience.
- Your photos will be delivered via zip-file and photo gallery no later than 48 hours after your tour.

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.

New York Must Do - We did a New York photo tour with Marc and he was absolutely terrific. He knew all the iconic spots, the hidden gems, and exactly where to stand to get the kind of shots you frame, not forget. His knowledge of the city is unreal, and he made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and genuinely memorable. He gave us local tips and taught us how to catch the Subway.
If you want someone who actually knows what they’re doing (and won’t leave you with dodgy angles and double chins), Marc is your guy. Highly recommend this tour.

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 !

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!
