This was one of the best to do things in New York City. I got a chance to explore Central Park through the eyes of a photographer. My tour guide made it so much fun. She was very informative and captivating about all the wonderful beautiful spots in Central Park. I would definitely do it again. I can't wait to... more

We took the Village tour on Saturday the 10th of July 2010. The guide was informative and very helpful with the various camera settings. The tour starts with a photography one'o'one lesson which also works for people that don't have a state of the art SLR camera. The tour takes you along some interesting sites in the Village and tells... more

Did the central park tour. An interesting mix of a bit of history, some pointers on what sort of photos might work well and where, and technical photo tips too. 8 of us on our group which was on the larger side. Laura was an excellent guide. Take advantage of her photo knowledge too - run a couple of photos... more

The photo lesson at the beginning of the tour was very helpful and gave me a lot to think about when taking photos. The pacing of the tour was good - I enjoyed having time to take photos during the tour and the historical information was interesting. The guide was friendly with a good sense of humor and knew a... more

I went on the Photo Walkabouts tour in Central Park. It was awesome! Our tour guide, Lora, was very outgoing and very knowledgeable about both the history of the park and photography in general. I feel pretty comfortable with a camera, but I did notice that she gave one on one advice and help to those who wanted it. I... more

I took the Central Park tour and I enjoyed it a lot. The tour helps you to take better photos by composing them better. Laura, the tour guide, gives you lots of interesting information on each stop in Central Park. After she explains the site, she gives you time on your own to explore with your camera and frame your... more

A Nice Walk in Central Park" The Central Park Tour was one of the first things I did on my trip to New York City. I didn't plan it this way but it worked out well since then I thought about things differently when I took pictures on the rest of the trip. The tour guide was very friendly and... more

I took the Wall Street tour on a nice sunny day. The guide, Laura, made it fun and interesting and a good learning experience. I learned about composition and was able to ask questions which Laura gladly answered. I also learned several features I didn't even know my camera had. The history of the areas was a nice touch too. more

We took part in the Greenwich Photo tour in early April as a treat for our son who's doing photography at school but we tagged along as well. The group was very small so Laura the guide (and experienced photographer) had plenty of time to spend with each person. Greenwich has real charm with a fascinating history which Laura explained... more

If you want to combine seeing the city and learning about photography, all while having fun doing it, then this is the perfect tour. We learned techniques and photography basics from Lora and then got to go out and practice at several different fun and beautiful locations. We even got personal attention and Lora was happy to address our own... more
