⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable NYC Photo Tour

Our photo tour with Marc was truly one of the highlights of our New York City trip. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease, and his knowledge of the city’s history, architecture, and hidden gems added so much depth to the experience. Marc thoughtfully guided us through iconic and lesser-known locations, sharing fascinating stories while capturing stunning, natural photographs along the way. Nothing felt rushed or staged—he has an incredible ability to make the experience feel relaxed, personal, and fun. The photos he delivered are absolutely beautiful and something we will treasure for a lifetime. They perfectly capture both the energy of NYC and our time together in the city. If you’re looking for a unique, memorable, and high-quality photo experience in New York City, we cannot recommend Marc highly enough. This tour is worth every penny and then some. — Joy & Jim VanAssche

Took time in Central Park for pictures and then Brooklyn bridge. Weather wasn’t optimal but great experience and advice for our time in NYC.

Great pictures, tour, and knowledge of the city.

Our photographer, Marc Samuels, was excellent. His pictures were awesome and the tour was amazing. We covered a lot of sites of the city in a 2 hour period of time. We had a great experience and recommend it for your trip.

Marc is so friendly,...

Marc is so friendly, communicative, and knowledgeable about the scenic and sometimes hidden places in Central Park for great views and fabulous photos. I was most excited to visit Strawberry Fields Memorial, and Marc truly delivered. Highly recommend!

Marc went above and beyond to accommodate both our wants and our needs. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Some how in a city of millions of people, Marc made us feel like we were the only ones in New York city! Not to mention how great the photos turned out. Well done and I highly recommend 👏

Best experience ever!

This experience was exciting and truly an opportunity to live like a local with Marc guiding us, showing us highlights of each area we visited, getting some great pictures of our group and giving us great directions on the subway. We had some of our best fun on our trip during this time with Marc. He gave us tips of things to see and do and areas to visit that are not the typical tourist type activities so we could really experience the full value of the entire city. When it was time to end the tour, he told us exactly how to get to our next destination and made sure we were set before he left. Overall, this is a must do experience to complete any trip to New York City.
