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

Marc is an amazing tour guide! I did not know what to expect going in but was not disappointed! He gave us everything we asked for and MORE! His personality is so well for this work because he genuinely makes you feel comfortable while in a crowd taking the BEST photos of you! I really want to come back in the summer and have a part two! Do not hesitate! 10/10 experience and got our pics the next day!
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!
Mark was great, professional and experienced. Wonderful shots and memories of our family trip and my son’s senior pics. Enjoyed our photo 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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!!
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.
Great experience last Saturday with PhotoTrek Tours. Learned a lot about Brooklyn/NY and got a bunch of great pic. Wife loved it
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!!
An unexpected highlight from our vacation! Would recommend!!!!!!!!!! An amazing time. Fast paced - lots of different shots!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 :)
We had a 3-hour photography tour of NYC and Brooklyn. We had an amazing experience with our photographer Marc , he was a GREAT guide and he was also wonderful in giving us tips on things to do and see in NYC. I’m so happy we did this tour and will always be able to enjoy our pictures. I would not hesitate in recommending Photo Trek tours to anyone visiting NYC. It's a must to!! Thanks again Marc :)
Marc knew all the perfect places to get great photos! We started in the West Village and got some cool street shots, then took the subway to the Brooklyn Bridge where we walked across and go some great shots! Once across the river, Marc knew all the corners and alleys to get really good photos. He sent my photos to me just two days later, and I'm really pleased! Next time I'm in NYC I'm choosing another area to get more photos, and I'm telling everyone who visits they should hire Marc!
My son and I visited NYC for the third time and we wanted to check some places we haven't seen in our previous trips, I found this tour with a personal photographer that I thought is the perfect idea.' Marc was knowledgeable of the area, made it fun and the photo shooting was so natural, I totally recommend this tour with him, it worth your money and the photos are spectacular! Next time in NYC I will reach out for our next experience.
Thank you, Marc, for another incredible tour In NYC! We enjoyed exploring Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, and the Village with you! Your knowledge of the city, fun personality, and willingness to go off the beaten path to capture one important photo for us made a rainy day extra-memorable! Each tour with you keeps getting better ... see ya next time! @phototrektours
It was nice having a tour of hot spots in NYC and having photos of my husband and I together. Marc was very knowledgable of the area and showed us around!
Awesome photos and memories of this trip to New York with my son. To me the views from the bridge are the best of the city, don’t forget to take the time to admire it. And wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking up and down the bridge, parts of Soho and Brooklyn, which I enjoyed very much. Have fun!
This is a must do! We went to parts of the city we would have never gone and also have some great pictures! Marc is an awesome tour guide and answered so many questions and showed us how to get around New York. He also gave us some great advice on where to eat and what to see. We highly recommend this if you want some great pictures and want to go to some great locations!!!
Fantastic photo's; been in places we never would have visited ourselves; great tips for other places from a local! Thank you very much, Marc.
Since I always take the photos on vacation, I am not usually in the photos. I decided to book this tour so that I didn't have to be the photographer for a change. I had always wanted to visit Brooklyn, so it was a win-win booking this tour. I was a little anxious because most of the reviews were for the NYC tours, but it turned out great! Marc Samuels was fantastic. He was in contact prior to the tour, even providing me with subway info to get to the meeting place in SOHO. The 2 hours was packed and Marc took LOTS of photos of the 4 of us. We loved that it was a private tour for just us. It was informative & fun. If I were to make a suggestion to those booking, I would recommend booking avoiding the midday sun (for better photos) by booking early in the day or late afternoon. That being said, Marc takes so many that you certainly will have some beautiful memories to keep. Our photos arrived within 48hrs. and they were great! The tour covers a lot of ground, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. I would highly recommend this tour. The views of the city from Brooklyn are beautiful.
What a great start to our holiday! Marc was so friendly and made the whole experience so much fun. We chose the 3 hour tour as we wanted to see Brooklyn and walk over Brooklyn Bridge. Marc offered tips and advice as we went along and would pick up on what sort of photo's we were after and made sure we were happy with them. We received the photos within 24 hours and we're so happy with them. We've got over 200 fantastic photo's to treasure of our family trip. We'd totally recommend doing this tour, especially to get photo's with all the family in. Many thanks Marc
When we booked a two hour photo tour I really had no idea what to expect as it was included in a Honeymoon tour of NYC. Marc Samuels was an absolute Gem!! Not only did he snap some of our favorite photos from the trip but he also helped us to navigate the subway, showed us some historical landmarks, and was an all around wealth of knowledge when it came to helping us find our way around NYC. A local through and through, he really keyed us in to exactly what it was we were looking to do for our trip. I have to be honest when I say, I tipped 50 dollars, and the reason was solely focused on the fact that he was genuine man who really appreciated the city and the people he was working with, and that was well received by both me and my wife. We both highly recommend Marc and will seek him out for the next visit we make to NYC.. Thanks again for everything!!
Thanks to Marc Samuels for the wonderful photos and visit to Brooklyne, Dumbo and Soho. My daughter and I had a great afternoon
Marc Samuel you're the best photografer-guide in N.Y.C.! Received at home with a zip-file the beautiful souvenir photos taken by our favorite photographer with his best friend on the occasion of a special birthday. Marc is a very kind and friendly man, he does his job with passion and takes care of every detail. He picks you up at the Hotel, advises you and knows how to turn the time available into a very special event. After living with him this 2nd experience I can only recommend this type of Service. In three hours it took us to Brooklyn, Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights and then ended at Chelsea Market. Try it out and you'll be thrilled!
