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

The Photo Walk-about was the highlight of my New York City trip! Our guide, Lora Danley, was extremely knowledgeable about both photography and park history. Lora was able to convey instructions on how to use your camera and choosing the subject of your photo in a very user-friendly manner. Her delightful sense of humor made for a delightful day in... more

Having been to New York several times before I was looking for something different for this trip. I did the central park tour on which there were only 2 of us the day that I took part.

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 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

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
