5.00This tour was structured so as to optimize both lighting and location for truly scenic landscapes. There were also more opportunities for great wildlife photography than I was expecting. It pays to be flexible on the dates of this particular trip as the experience is so weather dependent. Nafees shared very helpful tips on both smartphone and DSLR camera settings and there were many opportunities to use them. As a solo female traveler I had no concerns whatsoever about my safety and security and he knows the area well. The hiking is not too demanding for someone in reasonable shape, but wearing comfortable, broken-in shoes with traction, layers and keeping the camera equipment light and compact will make the trip more enjoyable. Bring snacks to Lake Louise/Morraine and bring a cloth to wipe your camera lens or smartphone screen in case of unexpected rain.
Great Camping Adventure

5.00Nafees always has a way to make a trip personal and just for you. Even though we are in a group, he is flexible and everyone feels at ease! If you want a fun, family style yet professional trip experience this is it! I have actually done a total of 7 camping trips - Yukon, NWT, Sunshine Coast Trail, Whistler, Rockies - 3 times with East Kootenays - and more than 15 hikes! I have enjoyed every single of the trips and never a let down - except weather (but no one can plan for that!). Thanks for all the amazing memories Nafees & Nature Photohikes! I even take better photos than ever before and people compliment on my growing skills!
Outstanding trip

5.00I’m a 50 year old woman and I had the pleasure of going on this photo/hiking adventure with Nash a week ago! I had an amazing time, saw some incredible sites, Nash gave me some really valuable tips around photo composition and also showed me how to properly use my SLR Nikon camera... I was a bit hesitant at first about going on my own with a stranger for a week but Nash was truly great! Very professional, I felt safe and he got me to hike some incredible trails!! The Parker Ridge trail, just out of Jasper was my favorite!! Thank you Nash!
Wonderful Tour

5.00Nafees is such an amazing person. He is very considerate and patient with his guests, most of all the best tour guide I've ever met. He's very knowledgeable and passionate with travelling. He does not let a dull moment during the tour and also connected people. The itinerary was really great and flexible, lets you see the key places and breathtaking sceneries. Aside from that, he took really awesome photos and even taught us how to take photos better. It was indeed a fun, memorable and awesome trip. Kudos!
