We had our tour with Marc today and had an amazing experience! This tour was the best part of our quick trip to NYC. Marc had a great personality, was great with our children, and captured amazing photos. This is a must do for anyone visiting NYC!

We were shown the beating heart of NYC. The hustle, the bustle, the “buzz” !! An exhilarating way to be introduced to NYC and appreciate its lifestyle. Great photographic memories. Fantastic value as well!! Paul from Melbourne, Australia.

He was patient when our one-year-old was being a little unpredictable. He made sure we were ok on time and on who would and wouldn’t be in pictures.
I’m so glad we were able to get on his schedule, and I’m recommending the tour to all of my friends venturing to the city!
One I will never forget!

Amazing Tour of NYC
Great experience and photos!
Who doesn’t want to have some great photos taken while sight seeing?!? Our guide 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!

Perfect NYC Experience!

Anne Berta
1. Very informative
2. You see a LOT! (which you can go and explore more in-depth later should you wish to)
3. You get quality photos as memories
4. We did the “sex n the city” tour and Photo Trek tours were MUCH
5. You get a choice of where to visit – (I wouldn’t mind going back one day to do more!!!!) It is fast-paced to ensure you get to see so much (which wasn’t a problem for us but should this be for you I would suggest maybe book a longer session??)
Terrific Tour & Photos… Highly Recommended
Our photographer and tour guide, Marc Samuels, was absolutely terrific. Would highly recommend Marc and doing the tour at the beginning of your trip to New York. Not only do you get a lay of the land and recommendations but you get great photos so you don’t need to worry about getting them later.
The Best Experience of our trip!
Great afternoon with Marc
Photo tour with Kennedy
Top highlight of our trip to NY!
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!!!
Priceless Tour!!!
This was by far the greatest adventure. our tour was with photographer Kennedy…enjoyed all the knowledge and great memories captured!! Our adventure started at Time Square, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, and Grand Central Station. Definitely a must do. Kennedy captured so many great memories we will forever be able to look back on!!
April Matheny
We visited NYC in September 2018. Marc’s tour was one of the first things we did! He’s full of knowledge and tips for your visit. We highly recommend Marc!!!
Just has to be done!
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.
Loved the pictures, and the tour guide!
Took my son to NYC for his Spring Break. Thought it would be cool to do the photographer tour. Definitely was a great experience, and my son and I both really liked the photographer! The pictures came out GREAT too. Highly recommend!
Great tour and guide
Excellent experience. Tour guide made it fun and captured beautiful pictures as well as listened to what we wanted.
Lindy Pratten
Tailored for our needs, started at The Plaza, then in to Central Park. Great way to see a small, but varied, portion of the park, with a good photographer and guide. Some great shots in various locations, good tips about the city and what to see and do. Walking shoes are best. Would highly recommend.
Ariane Zerfass
We loved our experience with Marc so educational and patient since I was on 1 crutch and took a little longer to get around…. He is a definite asset for NYC. Showed us sites we would have never ventured! Thank you so much!
So awesome!

Photo trek tour
The experience was fabulous. A great way to see part of the city. ie. Time Square, Central Park and Brooklyn Bridge. Customizable to your liking. Marc, the photographer, was personable and punctual. He has been doing photo tours for over 15 years! My wife and I would recommend this without hesitation!
Perfect start to New York
We had a wonderful start of our trip to New York with Kennedy. Can’t think of a better first day with introduction to the subway system and hundreds of beautiful and fun photos at some of the most iconic points in and around of Manhattan.
Highlight of New York
First time in the city
Highly recommend
Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. We will definitely book with him again. It was the perfect birthday gift for our 16 year old daughter. We have tons of awesome photos to remember our time in NYC, and acquainted us with the subway system and other places to see off the beaten path.
