Really worth your time!

If you are new to photography, this tour is for you. If you are an amateur looking to brush up on your skills, this tour is for you. If you are an experienced photographer and need to find different angle or locations in Florence, this tour is for you!
Eva made the tour effortless and allowed me to wade back into the deeper waters of photography that I miss. We worked on three types of composition, discussed light and she broke down the evening hours by type. We also talked about location and getting shots in places you might not think of.
Overall, Eva’s tour enhances your skills at whatever level you might be. It is money well spent!
Hint: Take the evening tour. It is really enjoyable.

Terrible weather, great outcome!

I did eventually have my "Private Photographic Tour of Florence", even though the heavens continued to open on us and we needed to postpone from the original date. Eva was an excellent tutor and her insights into composition, timing and lense choice for architectural photography was very insightful, especially in an old, tight city like Florence. I was able to "pick her brains" regarding not only her secret photo spots in Florence but also some techniques and settings she uses in low light photography and the couple of hours just flew by.
I'm glad I jotted down some of her words of wisdom to use later on in my trip in places like Amsterdam and Iceland where the lighting was quite challenging.

Wonderful couple of hours of Florence

Eva was a great teacher, very hands on, she manages to explain complex things in a simple and visual way. I now understand why I should my camera in a certain way and where my camera is at it's most happy.
I also enjoyed the anecdotes and references to photographers.
The tour was tailored to my interests (street photography and how to use my camera settings).
I will certainly be going on the advance tour when I am back.

Loved It!

Eva was super nice and we learned a lot about composition, lighting, the basics of photography.
What was also cool was the fact that she took us to some lesser known places to take beautiful pictures of the city!
We enjoyed it very much and would definitely recommend if you're an amateur photographer!

Great pics

I was in Florence by myself, so I looked for an opportunity to do something more than a few selfies. I was lucky I found Eva. It was fun doing the photoshooting with her. And nn the end there were so many good pictures that I had difficulties to select just 50 of them.

What a great day!

We did this tour yesterday on our last day staying in Florence. 100% would recommend. We had two very
lovely tour guides (Francesco and stanislava) and a friendly bus driver. We had a fantastic day seeing many things that we wouldn't have gotten to see on our own. It's a very big day packed full of fun activities, but had a really good mix of free time as well so you can choose how youd like to experience each place. The wine tasting was very generous portions and we also got to try lovely cheeses, breads, oils (including truffle oil), and balsamic vinegars! It was very interesting learning about the history of each place and having time to explore. A must do tour when in florence. The only thing we would say is allow plenty of time to find the meeting point as we didnt find the instructions very clear and we along with a few others we spoke to ended up running to find it on time. It would've been better to maybe meet out the front of the station and walk to where the buses are. Or have a link to the map with the specific spot to meet pinned. Other then that it was a fantastic day!

Sunset in Siena Tour

Beautiful tour I would suggest to anyone who enjoys wine and beautiful scenery. We started the tour at 3:00 pm , traveled an hour to Siena with the very handsome guide, Antonio , giving us history lessons along the way. We had one hour in gorgeous Siena to do what we pleased ( I climbed the tower, my mom toured the museum , then we shopped a bit). The best part of the entire trip was the gorgeous ride to the vineyard watching the sunset on the Tuscan hills. Once we arrived at the vineyard we had a tour of the cellar and then a beautiful family style dinner with a wine pairing upon each course.

My ONLY suggestion would be that I wish the tour had left Florence at 2:00 instead of 3:00 because by the time we arrived at the vineyard after our time in Siena it was dark and therefore I couldn't see as much of the vineyard as I would have liked. This tour is also not so friendly to those who may have trouble climbing stairs or walking long distances just FYI. Otherwise, perfecto!

Excellent

Eva is an excellent teacher. I am sure everyone from absolute beginners to professional photographers would learn from spending time with her in beautiful Florence (Firenze). All photographers have different styles, tastes and needs and it is great to get fresh ideas from someone who spends every day recording the city, the people and the events of this unique place. Most of us who travel with a camera, however accomplished, allow faults to creep into our work. Eva is excellent at spotting these and very helpful in suggesting techniques to avoid them. I had two sessions of two hours with Eva and feel I and my pictures will have benefitted greatly. Eva showed me her special project an wedding photography portfolios, too. Do explore her site as Photo Walkabouts are only part of this talented person’s work. J.D’Arcy

I booked this tour just one day before my arrival to Florence. I did not have any idea what to expect and was surprised to receive an immediate confirmation for my booking for the next day. I met Eva, the photographer on the meeting point as agreed. She was asking me what I am interested to see and given that I just arrived to the city I asked her to bring me around. I can’t be thankful enough to her as she showed me some of the secret spots of the city which I couldn’t visit on my own!!! She was also teaching me how can I take better photos of the city and how can I use my camera properly. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it to everybody!

Amazing day trip!

My mother and I went on the Assisi and Cortona day trip on our vacation to Italy and had a wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Giulio, was very attentive, informative, and professional, and helped make the tour a wonderful experience. Cortona was lovely and we had ample time to explore the town. I absolutely loved Assisi and the tour of the town and the Basilicas was fantastic. My one constructive feedback would be to maybe let folks know ahead of time about the strict dress codes in some of the churches regarding exposed arms. The Catholic churches in the USA do not have a dress code so we were caught off guard a bit by that.

The Florence at night tour with Vincenzo was amazing! You get to see so much (wear comfortable shoes), and experiencing the city at night is so unique. Vincenzo knows a lot about the history of Florence and shared tons of facts and stories with us. We were engrossed the whole time, and the time just flew by. My boyfriend and I were also the only people on the tour so it was actually such a great experience. Would highly recommend the night time tour with Vincenzo, but I think you couldn’t go wrong with any of his other tours also because he was a super great guide.

What a fantastic experience! My husband and I went on this tour, and we enjoyed EVERYTHING about it. Vincenzo was so friendly and and knowledgeable. He introduced us to the lesser-known areas of the city and provided many interesting facts about the history of its landmarks and people. He also offered to take several pictures of us throughout the evening and gave us a great reccomendation for food at the end of the night. Very personable, a wonderful tour for those wanting a unique perspective of the beautiful city of Florence!

Excellent way to spend a day in Tuscany

We throughly enjoyed this day trip, covering a lot of Tuscany with no stress.
Our tour guide Eva Maria was unfailingly cheerful , patient and energetic, dealing with a large bus load and speaking both English and Spanish.
I left an expensive hat at the last stop and Eva phoned the winery for me, collected the hat on her next visit, and posted it back to me in Australia, refusing reimbursement for all her efforts.It was very kind of her, thanks again Eva Maria!

My wife and I hired Dorin for a vacation shoot in Florence and we were not disappointed. He was prompt to arrive at our meeting point, and knew his way all around Florence and had plenty of great suggestions for where to capture iconic scenery. The retouched photos were very well done and were given to us quickly. Definitely worth booking Dorin for your next vacation if you don't want to be stuck holding your selfie stick!

It would be a mistake to visit Florence and not have your photograph taken by Eva! On the occasion of my first time in the gorgeous city and a recent birthday, Eva took me to quiet streets and busy palazzos to capture my love of travel, my happiness of being alive and the fedora hat that was my constant companion. How lucky I was to find her!

Great experience for the whole family!

We loved our tour with Eva and learned so much from her. She was great with each member of our family including the kids (ages 6, 8, 9, 11). We worked on several types of photography including architecture, landscape and portraits. Our only regret is that we didn’t book our session with Eva earlier in our trip.

You'll look great on the photos even if you believe that you are not photogenic

I just picked this tour at random, I don't like having my photo taken but realised I go on hoilday and have no picture of myself so I though I would give this a try! It was one of the best idea as the pictures came out great! Eva is really a professional photographer, she knows what she is doing!
