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.

I wanted to end my engagement weekend on a high note and Marc delivered!! Marc was on time and friendly right off the bat! Although we booked the private central park tour he was very flexible and asked us if we wanted to incorporate any other areas into the tour. There was not a second wasted on this tour. Marc took advantage of every single element we passed by in the city (i.e. NYPD Car, Taxi cab stopped at a red light, the "18" resting on the ground for the "2018" sign of the Times Square Building etc). Marc was very fun to be around, informative, and definitely knew his way around the city and the park! He were able to hit up all of the spots I wanted to and found areas in the park that I would have never found myself. Marc was very conscientious of our time due to a flight we needed to catch that afternoon. Marc did not disappoint! He even helped us arrange a way to get back to our Air BnB. If you are the type that gets nervous asking people to move so you can take an iconic picture, Marc is going to be your man! Early Morning (8:45am) Sunday Tour was Perfect! We love all 233 of our pictures. I'll never forget how my fiancee smiled the entire tour and how she smiles as she admires your photos. Thank you, Marc! We will definitely book you again for other tours next year!!

My wife and I were visiting New York for the first time as a family with our two young boys. It's safe to say that coming from a small town, while exciting, seeing the crowds and size of New York was a little intimidating. That is, until we met Marc. The experience had the feeling you'd get when reconnecting with an old friend who's a native to the city willing to give you a personal tour....now imagine that friend being a professional photographer willing to capture your reactions every step of the way. By the time we were done, my wife, who's never lived anywhere but the town she grew up in, was hoping on and off the Subway, maneuvering around time and loving every moment of it. For a day we became New Yorkers. I can't thank Marc enough for what he gave us that day. It was everything that we hoped it would be..scratch that..it was more than we could have ever imagined. It will be an experience we'll never forget. The next time we travel we will be contacting PhotoTrek to capture or moments again. Thank you Marc!!
