We'd never been to new york before and one of the things we really wanted to do was see cental park. We didn't know exactly where to go so we wanted to take a tour to see some of the highlights. We also both really like photography and so we thought this tour would be good for us. We got... more

I had wanted to take this tour for a while since I first learned about it. I finally had the time and it definitely lived up to all my expectations. I learned a lot about photography and I think my photos improved on the tour. It was also nice to be guided around Greenwich Village since I just moved to... more

I went on the Wall Street tour and it was definitely one of the best things I did in New York. I had just gotten a new camera which I was excited to try out but I didn't know too much about. Luckily our guide was able to help me figure out all the features. I learned to see things... more

I took the Central Park tour as a treat for my birthday in early September. The tour greatly exceeded my expectations and I came home with some terrific looking photos. The guide is an insightful photographer and very knowledgeable about the history of the park and its surroundings. The tour is also a great bargain for NYC and the amount... more

Enjoyed this activity and would take other friends. Kim and I saw downtown Manhattan and learned awesome tips on how to use our cameras, mine camera included. Wall Street is a great place to practice photography. I would love to try the other tour in Greenwich Village. I had an amazing time and my latest craze is now taking pictures.... more

On a recent trip to New York City, our family took the Central Park tour. Our 10 and 12 year olds enjoyed exploring the park with their cameras. The tour is well-organized and a perfect activity for seeing the park that will not bust the budget. Tarheeldad0835 more

I took the Greenwich Village tour and had a wonderful time. The tour went at a nice leisurely pace. The fact that Lora (our tour guide) was willing to look at my photos and give advice and comments helped immensely. The next time I'm in New York City, I'm planning to take the Central Park tour. more

I took the Photo Walkabouts Tour of Greenwich Village and not only got a great tour but also some excellent photos. You can learn how to get better composed photos from the tips that Lora gives. I have a much better feel for the pictures that capture the distinctive qualities of the place. Lora's historical knowledge of the location and... more

This photo tour was so much more than I expected. I took the Greenwich Village and Central Park tours. I loved the historical information, but my favorite part was learning about my camera. I learned to use the manual settings on my camera. She also taught me to take a picture panning the camera so that the background is moving... more
