Venice Photography Walking Tour with Private Guide

It is a special experience to have a personal guide who is a native Venetian. Vinicio, who was delightful & knowledgeable, not only helped me with photo tips on perspective, light, telling a story, etc., but gave me a real insight into daily life in Venice. It was my 5th visit to this beautiful city, but I saw neighborhoods I had never seen before!

Excellent guide. Vinny took us to the less touristy but beautiful areas of Venice at the same time telling us the Venice way of life. A huge plus of this experience was that Vinny taught us how to compose and. take incredible photos. Priceless. Thank you Vinny! I have been getting a lot of compliments on my photo posting now.

Vinicio was wonderful and adapted the tour to our priorities - providing unique, different photography opportunities. He is a experienced, professional photographer with great tips. As a 5th generation Venetian, he gives a historical, cultural perspective that you won’t get on a standard tour (for same price). Highly recommend this private tour.

We chose the Venice walking photo tour as a confirmation gift for our granddaughter. It 'was an afternoon full of emotions and teachings for us adults, an afternoon in which we discovered another Venice, the real Venice, the one that unfortunately many visitors miss, too busy spending their time in the most known and crowded areas of this wonderful city. We brought home many shots, some really successful, but above all the joy of having given our granddaughter a special experience that was really much appreciated. Thank you Vinicio for your availability and your professionalism!

I booked an evening photo walking tour in Venice and was not disappointed. The experienced photographer was Vinicio who showed me some off-the-beaten path shots with some unique lighting that were simply amazing. It was perfect to work on exposure. I have some incredible photos as a result. Vinicio provided a tripod. He was very helpful and patient. As the streets of Venice are like a maze, it would have been difficult to shoot these particular venues on my own. I learned a lot technically. I highly recommend this tour.

<p>We love Mario. He's a fantastic photography instructor.</p>

<p>Vinicio is an excellent photography and a great tour guide. In addition to helping me with learning the functions of my camera and using manual settings, he provided a real taste of what life is like in Venice for the people that live there. I really enjoyed our conversation and took some very excellent photos. I highly recommend the twilight tour!</p>

Vinicio was a great teacher and seemed to know just where to start with these beginners. He was patient and easygoing and made it very enjoyable. Thank you!

Especially in the summer months or when the cruise ships arrive, Venice is known to be crowded with tourists which makes getting into popular places, or even photographing them difficult. Unless you want photos of people standing in front of the best sights taking selfies. We signed up for this photography walking tour with the hope the guide could show us the best spots to get pictures away from the crowds and give us a hands on experience. Our expectations were exceeded. Vin took us away from the crowded central part of Venice showing us the back streets and canals where the people live. While giving basic photography tips such as composition and camera settings, he told stories of how the city evolved and what it is like to live in the city. If you want a small group, hands on experience, this is for you. Lots of walking is involved over the three hours. This one tour will net you the 10,000 steps you seek.

<p>Thank you Vinny- we loved walking around Veice with you and seeing those sites that most tourists do not experience. Vinny's advice on photography has helped us to take better photos and to be more aware of the light and composition of the shot. A fantastic tour.</p>
