Fantastic photography tour perfect for any skill level - This was an incredible tour that I would highly recommend. Having lived here for many years, my tour guide (Zim) obviously has a deep understanding of the city and was able to give a true locals perspective. Despite being a total beginner at photography, the photo tour was perfect for me. Zim took the time to help me understand how my camera works, which settings would be right for what I want to shoot, and the fundamentals of photography. I feel this tour would be perfect for anyone with any interest in photography - from beginners through to advanced.

You will learn a lot AND have a great time! - I was fortunate enough to go on this tour with Zim on a lovely Saturday evening in July. Zim makes the most of your time, offering incredibly insightful tips and tricks that will make you reconsider what you think you know about photography! Tons of great information that would take too long to list, but the NYC locations are the perfect backdrops on which to practice your new skills.

Bellissima esperienza fotografica con Zim di NYC Photo Safari - Wonderful experience with Zim, so skilled, nice and patient! We took many pictures of iconic places (empire state bulding and grand central terminal) and situations (street photography, especially in the subway). Top notch quality! Alla prossima!

Awesome photo tour - The tour was awesome! Our local photographer was super knowledgeable, she helped me get the correct settings on my camera and gave the group great tips on how to take shots of iconic buildings in NYC. The tour was about two hours and some, and no time was wasted, we were constantly on the go.

Another excellent experience with NYC Photo Safari - Another excellent photography workshop with Zim, our instructor for the day. She is very knowledgeable, experienced and has a great way of explaining concepts as well as helping with technical advice. This is not my first experience with Zim and NYC Photo Safari and every experience has been great - I highly recommend booking a workshop with them if you live anywhere near NYC or are visiting even for a day.

Have fun learning photography! - I have been on a number of photo tours with New York City Photo Safari and must say they were great. Zim is incredible! As a former educator I know a good teacher when I meet one. Zim took time with each participant with patience, expertise, enthusiasm, and good humor. I have definitely become a better photographer. I highly recommend NYC Photo Safari it's a great way to tour NYC.

Highlight of our trip! - This tour was the highlight of our trip. Our guide and professional photograpler, David, could not have been more helpful or cordial. He gave a short tutorial about capturing images, then would check our cameras to see how we did. He always offered positive feedback and would make suggestions for the next shot. Being a kind and friendly person didn't hurt the trip either!! Highly recommend!!!
