I booked the tour four my daughter (13y) passioned about photography and myself, and we were lucky to be just the 2 of us on the tour. We absolutely enjoyed it. We received very useful tips and advices for taking great pictures, pros and cons of different the photo equipments. All this together with interesting stories about Barcelona, while walking some narrow pitoresque back streets of the city. Thank you Andrei for this great experience!

A great experience
What a great guide and experience. We had a great time scurrying about some of the side streets of the gothic part of town. I was shown elements of this interesting area that I would normally have walked passed. It was raining in the morning quite heavily and I was offered another time out of courtesy but decided to go ahead with the tour anyway due to my tight schedule. I was still accommodated and the weather got better as the tour went along.
Operator response
Thank you Steven for your nice review. Indeed he rainy weather stops when we start our photo experience :). Sometimes we get scare without reason ;) And yes, we had a great time together and I want to thank you for that as well because always is about the both parts.

Photo tips – great advice
I loved your tips on camera setting and hints on improving the composition in my photos. One of your highlight, for me, it was the part of the tour where I could see your way of shooting – seeing shots through your eyes is inspirational. Also knowing the stories behind the places that I shoot were very nice as I had the whole picture in my mind. Inspirational experience! Keep the good work Andrei!

The best way to tour a city is through the eyes of a photographer
I loved this! Andrei’s deep passion for photography shines through his teaching, plus his knowledge of the city made for a wonderfully unique tour of Barcelona. He also taught me about the tools on my camera so I can stop relying on the Auto function. I highly recommend this experience if you want to learn how to tour a city and view photography with a new perspective.
