Explore Rome after dark with photographer Giulio, learning night photography at St. Peter’s, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and the Colosseum.

“This is one of the best tours I’ve ever done—and if I were to only do one in Rome, this would be it. Giulio is a professional photographer and film maker who has worked around the world before returning who’s Rome home. His Italian history stories have just the right amount of detail; his documentary making experience comes through. He will ask about your equipment and interests. I brought my iPhone and asked for guidance on composition. He explained design principles and for each shot, showed me how to reshoot more effectively. It’s an enjoyable evening and I have striking photos of major landmarks —vastly better than my normal snaps.”

Learn camera skills while photographing Venice landmarks, sunset, and night scenes on a private three-hour lesson with a professional guide.

“Things didn’t go quite as planned (a nice way of saying “camera trouble”) but we made the most of it. I’m more of a hands-on learner and never knew where to start with this camera after moving up from a bridge-type from a different company, so let it languish in a drawer for years. This tour was a great opportunity to figure things out with some expert guidance, and also see some locations I might not otherwise have found. I booked this experience for the beginning of my trip and I’ve been able to use the knowledge I gained pretty much every day since.”
