“Our group of 4 had a fantastic experience on our Canyon X tour. All reported it being well worth the 5 hrs driven in the car to get there and back to our resort. We immediately formed a bond with our tour guide, Nick. He had a great sense of humor and offered repeatedly to take pictures for us using our cell phones. He answered our questions and didn't rush us to move along. We took loads of awesome pictures of sun streaming into the canyon on different rock formations as we wove our way through different sections. We'll remember this for years to come!”

Review of Boston’s small-group architecture and photo walk, covering Back Bay, Beacon Hill, landmarks, guide Saba, value, and practical tips.
“Saba was very informative, and had not only the history to share about the places we went, but had all of the photo tips one could need. Should you need them. She’s done the tours for 22 years and one of her favorite spots to show the groups is a little street which is well photographed. I have the distinct honor of deciding to not photograph that street which, Saba told me, I was the only one in 22 years not to. It was great to learn so much history, and to see so much and so short of time as a first time visitor to Boston. Highly recommended.”
Learn Central Park photography from a local pro, with small-group coaching at Bethesda Terrace, Shakespeare Garden, and other scenic stops.
“My 15 year old son took the “tour” and learned so much. It’s definitely more of a workshop with lots of instruction on how to best use your camera features. The small group size (in his case only 2 people) meant everyone got individual time. His instructor was super experienced and got him thinking on how he could use this hobby to earn a living.”
Review of Oahu’s 3-hour sunrise photo tour, with Sandy Beach, Makapu‘u Point, Halona Blow Hole, hotel pickup, photos, and a Leonard’s malasada.
“The sunrise photo tour was our favorite part of our Hawaii trip! Even though we aren't morning people, the early start to see the sunrise was well worth it. Kurt was so nice and did everything he could to make it a great experience for everyone. He taught us a lot about photography as well, to help everyone take some memorable pictures. The malasadas at the end were a delicious treat!”
