It were such nice hours to spend with Mike on the tour. I learned a lot on photography and made some really nice pictures. He’s very knowledgeable about the area we were, and he took me to a lot of interesting places. I would recommend anyone to book a tour with him and learn more about photography and hear interesting stories!
A different and delightful perspective

A delightful tour through many features of the West End. Some photos were of typical tourist sites but many creative and unusual shots that most tourists wouldn’t notice or think about. Mike provided lots of gentle advice and encouragement on using the camera to make the most of the opportunities! A wonderful experience with terrific photos to take away.

Mike my guide was amazing, on time, organized and his history of the places we visited was second to non. A real personable gentleman, who offered advice and taught me some new techniques. I felt that I had known him all my life. Thanks Mike.

Photo tours are a great way to see a slice of local culture and this tour was no exception. The host was on time and brought the group through a variety of local attractions. There are many good photo ops on the tour. Additionally, the host showed us a variety of techniques to liven up even the most ordinary subject. He was accommodating and instructive. I highly recommend this tour.
