Loved the Lisbon Night Photo Tour. My guide, Cecile led me to places in Lisbon that I otherwise would not have seen nor experienced. Cecile offered wonderful composition recommendations in locations that, I think, showed the local side of life in Lisbon. If you love the changing evening light and want to bring back photos of Lisbon that capture the spirit of place, you cannot do better than this tour and Cecile as your guide.
Cecile was a fantastic guide and provided great suggestions on where to photograph in central Portugal. We shared travel stories and photography tips. It was a treat having her expertise on the area for the very short time I was in Lisbon. I recommend Aperture Tours and Cecile to anyone looking for an expedient way to find photogenic gems in Lisbon.
Delighted you enjoyed your time exploring Lisbon with us. We're so pleased the experience helped you uncover some of the city's photographic highlights, even on a short visit. Our team always enjoys exchanging stories and tips with fellow travellers.
Celeste was knowledgeable about the spots to photograph. Unfortunately, we rented a tripod so we could do longer exposure night photography, but the tripod didn't have a standard arcade swiss type adapter, so we were unable to use it, unless we removed our brackets, which were hooked to our straps, etc. It was hard to shoot decent night shots handheld at longer shutter speeds without using tripod. Celeste did offer us to put our cards in her camera, but I shoot a different brand. She did take us all over, and we saw great sites, but we're somewhat disappointed in how our photos turned out.
We’re glad to hear that Cécile (not Celeste) was able to guide you to some fantastic photographic spots and offer assistance along the way. Regarding the tripod, our photographers carry a Manfrotto Befree tripod, which is compatible with most standard camera setups. With so many possible camera and bracket combinations, we do our best to accommodate as many setups as possible. However, unique brackets and strap systems can occasionally require extra adjustments—something we’re more than happy to help with when we’re informed before the tour. This allows us to plan ahead and avoid surprises. While removing a tripod plate is often a quick fix (and easily reattached), we understand that adjusting gear on the spot can feel inconvenient. That’s why we encourage anyone with specialised setups to reach out to us in advance so we can provide the smoothest experience possible. We’re pleased that Cécile offered creative solutions to help make the most of the evening and that you were able to explore some incredible sights with her guidance. We always strive to deliver exceptional experiences, and we look forward to welcoming you—and anyone else with special requests—on future tours.
I was out most of the day yesterday with Cecile from Aperture Tours in Lisbon. They were so kind to arrange my specific itinerary which I appreciated very much. Cecile was very knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions and advice about how to shoot different subjects. I have used Aperture Tours' photographers in several cities and they are always very professional, helpful, and friendly. I always recommend them to friends who are traveling.
We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience in Lisbon and appreciated the customised itinerary. It’s fantastic that the guidance was helpful and that you’ve enjoyed our tours in multiple cities.
I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my Lisbon Street Photo Tour (on October 6th) with Miguel - he is a wonderful guide, who I’d highly recommend to photographers of every level. Miguel took me to a variety of locations and was very accommodating to all of my requests. A+++++++++
So many plus signs after that A. We are thrilled you had a great time with us in Lisbon.
I've done the Lisboa photo tour with Cecile . What I can I say. Perfectly organized, good locations. I liked having Cecile guided me to great spots. She provided me not only deep technical know-how but also good tips for creativity. Cecile is a perfect guide and it's fun being with her on a tour.
We're thrilled to hear that you had a perfect experience on our Lisbon photo tour. We take pride in organizing well-planned tours and selecting great locations. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon!
