Iconic New York Photo tour was Awesome! - Zim, from New York City Photo Safari, was amazing - I took so many pictures of iconic New York sites. The instructor was brilliant and I learned many new ways of taking photos. We saw many sites in Manhattan that day, including Rockefeller center, Grand Central terminal, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Empire State Building and even took a ride on the subway. Meeting Zim and the sessions I had were the best part of my trip to New York. Highly Recommended!

New York Icon, part 2 - I loved this tour. Architecture my favorite subject for taking pictures. Zim got me to see detail in buildings that I would otherwise never have noticed. She showed us how to incorporate reflections into our pictures in ways that would never have occurred to me. I emerged with some pretty darn good photos, if I do say so myself. But I couldn't have done it without Zim's inspired guidance. She's changed the way I see the world through my camera.

Seeing New York from a different perspective - We had a fantastic time and a fantastic tour with Zim! She took her time, helped us with the settings, and showed us inspiring ways to see the photo subjects differently than usual. We also had a great conversation during our walk. All in all, a really good experience and highly recommended!

Great Photo Walk - I had a lot of fun with this tour. Zim was great! She was a wealth of knowledge and gave me some great tips that I can implement next time I come to NYC and when I travel. There was four of us in the group and she was attentive to everyone. She knew how to work everyone’s camera (which can be rare, but makes it easier for everyone). She made sure we had time to get the shots, but also kept us moving. I would definitely recommend this tour!
