What To Expect

Times Square

The most bustling area of New York City, known for its many Broadway theaters, cinemas, and electronic billboards. It is one of the places that make New York a city that never sleeps.

Broadway

Broadway is the heart of NYC's performing arts scene.

Central Park

Arguably one of the most famous parks in the world, Central Park is a manmade wonder. Set in the middle of bustling Manhattan, its grounds serve as a safe haven, not only for athletes, daydreamers, musicians, and strollers, but also for teems of migratory birds each year. One can spend an entire peaceful day roaming its grounds, gazing upon nearly 50 fountains, monuments, and sculptures or admiring its 36 bridges and arches.

Gapstow Bridge

Curving gracefully over the Pond, Gapstow is one of the iconic bridges in Central Park, offering one of the best views of the New York City skyline.

Bethesda Terrace

Bethesda Terrace, at 72nd street, seamlessly weaves architecture into the surrounding landscapes. Bethesda Terrace is considered the heart of Central Park.

Bethesda Fountain

Bethesda Fountain rises high above Bethesda Terrace, looking over the hundreds of visitors that come every day to enjoy the view of the Lake and relax at the “heart” of the Central Park. The sculpture that tops it, Angel of the Waters, was designed by Emma Stebbins in 1873 and is one of the most recognizable icons in the entire park.

Bow Bridge

The first cast-iron bridge in the Park (and the second oldest in America), the bridge was built between 1859 and 1862. Bow Bridge is named for its graceful shape, reminiscent of the bow of an archer or violinist. ... Today, Bow Bridge is one of New York's most romantic settings and a muse for photographers.

The Ramble

The Ramble is a 36-acre "wild garden." Central Park's designers imagined a tranquil spot where visitors could stroll, discover forest gardens rich with plantings, and meander along the paths. This truly is a place for the urban explorer to escape the city and get utterly lost in nature.

Ladies Pavilion

Central Park's Ladies Pavilion is a secluded spot located near 75th Street on the west side of the park, next to The Lake. The Pavilion's antique-style construction, location, and beauty have made it one of the most sought-after park locations for special events, especially weddings ceremonies, and photo shoots. The Pavilion is made from cast iron, slate, wood, and stone and is situated on The Lake at Hernshead, a rock structure that resembles the shape of a heron. The Pavilion's floor is made from Manhattan schist coping stones that had originally been part of another Central Park structure.

Strawberry Fields, John Lennon Memorial

Strawberry Fields is a living memorial to the world-famous singer, songwriter, and peace activist, John Lennon. During his career with the Beatles and in his solo work, Lennon's music gave hope and inspiration for world peace and his memory and mission lives on in Strawberry Fields. This tranquil section of Central Park was named after one of Lennon's favorite songs, "Strawberry Fields Forever."

Upper West Side

Nestled between Riverside and Central Park, the Upper West Side is one of the greenest parts of Manhattan. The Upper West Side is known for popular attractions like the Natural History Museum and Lincoln Center, but relaxed bistros and a lively bar scene defy expectations in this sparkling and cozy uptown neighborhood.

Mark was our photographer and tour guy through Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge. Although I have been to NYC many times, Mark was very informative and pointed out a lot of really cool stuff. My girlfriend who was visiting for the first time hasn't stopped talking about the tour and experience. The photos were phenomenal and very well done. I highly recommend this tour for your next visit!

We booked a PhotoTrek tour around Times Square and Central Park to capture some memories of our first family trip to NYC. Mark was great! Informative, personable and quick to put us all at our ease. He clearly loves his city and was greeted warmly by locals on his tour destinations. He took over 150 photos and they were all sent to us within the day, which we weren't expecting. There are some great shots in the deck. Novel, fun and with all of us (two adults, two tweens) looking relaxed. We now have some difficult choices as to which ones make it onto the walls at home! Thank you Mark for a unique, enjoyable and informative experience.

My husband and I went on the tour with Marc and we had a great time. We learnt a lot about the city as our guide was very knowledgeable. We left with some really great photos taken from our trip that aren't selfies! Would recommend it to others.
