- Frequently Asked Questions:
- How will I get around the city?
- 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 ($2.75 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.
- How will I receive my photos?
- Your photos will be delivered via zip-file and photo gallery no later than 48 hours after your tour.

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!!

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!

Photoshoot and Tour - The Brooklyn Bridge is amazing! Mark was very friendly. He took us to several interesting places for pictures and shared lots of information on the way. He was accommodating to our slow walking pace. He never made us feel rushed. He is an excellent tour guide. He took some pictures with our phone as well as with his camera. What we’ve seen is excellent. We are so excited to get our photos! I highly recommend spending time with Mark.

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!

Best memories to keep forever - My second time with phototrek tours. Great tour and photo shoot. Marc is super easy to communicate with and flexible with what you wish to achieve. My 9 year old was super comfortable with Marc immediately and he brought out the poser in him.
