Simply the BEST!

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

Operator response

Can not thank you enough for your kind words. So glad you were pleased. Glad to know you will treasure the photos.

Best Photo Tour

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!

Operator response

Thank you so much Asia for your review. So great to meet you and Mike. I hope the photos provide you both with lifetime memories.

Take the tour!!! 🌃🍎🚕🗽

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.

Highly recoomeded

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.

Best of Brooklyn

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.
