Invaluable Experience for Beginner-Level Dabbler
Elizabeth_S, Mar 2024
Things didn’t go quite as planned (a nice way of saying “camera trouble”) but we made the most of it. I’m more of a hands-on learner and never knew where to start with this camera after moving up from a bridge-type from a different company, so let it languish in a drawer for years. This tour was a great opportunity to figure things out with some expert guidance, and also see some locations I might not otherwise have found. I booked this experience for the beginning of my trip and I’ve been able to use the knowledge I gained pretty much every day since.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for your feedback! Despite some camera troubles, it's great to hear the tour provided valuable hands-on learning and uncovered hidden locations for you. Booking at the beginning of your trip proved beneficial, allowing you to apply new skills throughout. We're delighted to have supported your photography journey and hope you continue to enjoy capturing memorable shots!
Nighttime Photography in Venice
Catharine_M, Jun 2023
I loved being the only student for my Venice Night Photography class having one-on-one time with Marco for the entire 3 1/2hrs. Marco came prepared as my returned tripod was not available so we used his Fotopod miniature tripod which with my DSLR Canon camera. He taught me how to take night time photos in Manual verse AV and how to set my camera's timer in coordination with my Manual settings to achieve some spectacular nighttime photos. I was use to using my remote release timer in the past. All in all the evening was a grand success.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience during your Venice Night Photography tour! We are happy you got all the personalized attention throughout the entire session to capture the best nighttime photos in and learn Manual mode and take control of your camera. We're delighted to hear that the evening was a grand success.

Really loved this photo tour. We went to the area where the locals live and I took some of my favorite photos of the city! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, May 2020
While the tourist sights are beautiful, real street photography lives in the places Venetians live. We are happy we could share this with you.
Excellente expérience
AnneSophie_G, Sep 2021
Excellente expérience avec Nicoletta qui, outre le fait d’être une excellente photographe très pédagogue , a été une guide parfaite dans Venise. Merci !
