Guide Review - New York City PhotoTrek Walking Tour
You can avoid returning from your New York City visit with this problem if you include a walking tour with Marc Samuels of New York City PhotoTrek Tours on your itinerary. After taking Marc's tour, you'll not only have many great pictures of you and your travel companions as souvenirs, but you'll also have seen a great deal of the city and become comfortable using the subway to get around Manhattan.
Marc was born and raised in New York City and currently lives in Manhattan with his family, bringing a lifetime of New York City experience to share with the visitors who take his tour. Marc knows exactly where to have you stand to capture memorable moments with iconic landmarks in the background. His friendly nature makes it easy for even camera shy folks to smile and get comfortable being photographed.
Having been on many New York City tours, I was surprised at how much ground we covered during our two-hour walking/subway tour of Manhattan and even more excited when I returned home to find an email with a link to nearly 100 photos of my husband and I that were taken during the tour.
In addition to putting your photos up on the internet quickly (making it easy to share them with family and friends), Marc will deliver a CD with the images to your hotel within 48 hours of the tour. You can easily make prints of your favorite shots from the high-resolution images provided on the CD.
