It’s more about taking photos of the city - I have to say this trip is unique and unforgettable. Pilar ( I hope I’m not making mistake of the name ) shows me a lot of fun place of the city with the story behinds. It is definitely more than a photography trip but also a story telling trip because I get to know a lot of histories about those interesting corner of the city as well. She gives the photo I taken meaning, the bloody angle, the smallpox hospital so I feel whatever I have taken is more than a photo but a whole stories behind it. I personally really like the spots she picked which are not crowded with tourists but shows the city of New York lively. I believe anyone with a explorer heart and want to take records of their exploration will enjoy the trip as much as I do.

Unique, Fun, and Informative! - I am a professional musician. During Covid shutdowns I concentrated more on home recording and making videos to put up on social media. This soon blossomed into a full-fledged interest into improving my photography skills. Picture the City was a fun afternoon excursion that combined a tour of my favorite metropolis and useful/easily applicable photography tips. I learned some new things, got some great shots for a video, and had a fun afternoon. Pilar is engaging, knowledgeable, and absolutely a delight. Whether you are a skilled photographer or just looking for a unique way to tour Manhattan, I highly recommend Picture the City. “
