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!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PRIVATE TOUR

Enrique_S, Jan 2019

Taking the 2-hour "Private Central Park Walking Tour with a Personal Photographer"a was one of the best decisions we made on this trup. Personal Photographer Marc was not only a great guide - very accommodating and sharing lots of info about the various areas we visited - but he was an even greater photographer who made sure there were no photobombers and had quite an eye for detail. We had a fun tour and more importantly we had lots of great photo memories to keep and cherish.

The best thing we've booked in a long time. Kennedy was a fantastic tour guide and photographer. We got our photos the next morning and they are everything we hoped they'd be and more! We ended up with more than 100 photos. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting New York City!

Chris W, May 2017

We were in NYC for our honeymoon and the tour was fantastic. We booked it for our very first morning in the city and would recommend it to anyone. Marc took some beautiful photos that we will treasure all our lives, and made us so much more comfortable in the city for the rest of our trip. Bargain.
