Top 10 Photography Tours in New York, United States

April 27, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

We used this service for our small Covid-era wedding. J was a pleasure to work with--easy and attentive. Turnaround for pictures was very fast. We were thrilled with the results. She was also great with our son.

Our first PhotoTrek tour was in 2003. On that tour, I proposed. We took a second tour on our honeymoon the following year because we loved the pictures, the tour and the personal touch Marc gives so much. When we decided to come back to Mew York with our three girls, we knew we had to do another tour with Marc. I can’t tell you how thankful My wife and I are to have these memories documented with our girls. We had to reschedule our travel twice due to Covid and Marc was incredibly accommodating. On the day of our scheduled tour it was raining, but Marc still took the time to come meet us- gave us a refresher on using the subway, recommend some restaurants and got in a few pictures. We rescheduled for the next day and the experience was amazing. If you find yourself in New York, schedule some time with Marc. So great to have a personalized tour and photos with everyone in them. Extremely quick turn around with the photos and they were incredible.

I bought tickets for the speakeasy tour for my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, I was exposed to a covid positive colleague and had to quarantine for 2 weeks, ruining my husband's birthday and our Thanksgiving. I reached out to Alex's Tours PRIOR to our scheduled date to explain my situation and to ask for a refund or credit and received no response. I wanted to do the right thing by staying home. I reached out again shortly after our scheduled date and again, no response. Was recommended this tour by my father yet this was very unprofessional, disappointing and will not recommend moving forward.
