PHOTO ESCAPES · PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS IN PORTUGAL
Good photography tours in Portugal fill up weeks ahead and the sunrise slots go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Explore Porto with photographer José Santos, capturing 25 edited portraits at historic sights, viewpoints, and colorful streets in three hours.
“Jose was a pleasure to work with such a genuine person, and his work speaks for itself. Very professional and creative love his work. I’ll be booking again next year for a couple’s photo shoot.”
Review of Terceira’s private full-day photo tour, with trails, volcanic sights, hotel pickup, expert guidance, and practical booking advice.
“Juca is highly knowledgeable in the field of photography, archeology, AND the geology of Terceira. If you’re looking to make sure you get the best viewpoints and snapshots here on Terceira while getting a detailed understanding of the land upon which you stand, then you have to book this.”
Review of Lisbon’s 2-hour street art photo tour, with hill climbs, castle views, guide tips, pricing, accessibility, and booking advice.
“Pedro is kind and sweet! He showed us the best art in Lisbon! It was very interesting and fun! Thank you Pedro!”
Explore Lisbon’s Alfama with a local photographer, learning street, tram, architectural, and viewpoint photography in a small three-hour group.
“Terrible communication skills. We ended up not doing it because I was so confused if he booked someone else in our spot and when I asked, he did not reply. So I assumed he had someone else and cancelled but he refused to give me refund. I think Viator should give him the refund not me.”
See Lisbon’s top viewpoints, squares, Pink Street, and Rossio Station while a private guide helps create memorable photos.
“We were at the meeting point on time and no guide showed up. I called and they said they had cancelled our tour because of “a problem with the guide”. No one ever told us ahead of time, and we wasted an Uber ride to the meeting point. My credit card was charged the day before and I had a confirmation number. Very disappointing.”
Explore Alfama with local photographer Carlos on a relaxed 3-hour photo walk with hands-on tips, scenic views, and small-group attention.
“This was a good fun activity and Carlos was a great guy. He gave us some tips on technique and took us to some great spots to get some interesting shots. We got to see some interesting parts of Alfama and not just the usual tourist stuff. A really enjoyable morning.”
