What to do and see in Brooklyn, New York (NY): The Best Photography Tours
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Elias was our assigned photographer he understood our needs perfectly and worked with us very well. He took the most amazing pictures of my daughter. Even though I did not want my own picture taken he also convinced me of that. Many locations are closed in Morocco currently because of covid but we found many beautiful alternate locations instead. There is so much beauty in Marrakech you will definitely want to document it with this group. Pictures were delivered to us two days later while we were still on vacation. I asked for a few edits and the group was very cooperative in providing them.

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.

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.

DO NOT BOOK!!! I got engaged on September 5th and have yet to see a single picture and it is now October 9th. They'll blame all delays on COVID-19, which is fine, I understand they may be working with a "skeleton staff", but it is like pulling teeth to get any sort of answer from them. Email is the only route to get in touch with the office and they do not answer... I'm talking a weeks delay in response time which is extremely frustrating. Yes, they have a phone number, but the phone number leads to an answering service who say they'll tell Tim you called and that he will call you back. Shocker, neither my Fiancé nor myself have received a phone call and we have called in multiple times over the course of the month. The only good part about working with this company was our photographer, Miria. She made us feel comfortable and had some great ideas for shots following our engagement. Sadly, I'm not hopefully we'll being seeing any of the photos Miria took on our engagement day. $400 down the drain.
