Excellent experience and highly recommend as a way to improve your photos and get a good guide knowledgeable about the city and history. Saw a lot of out-of-the-way places we would otherwise have missed and got some terrific photos and photog tips as well.

Steve was excellent. We book these tours to get an artists perspective on the city. We expect the photographer to know unique locations to get great shots that capture the essence of the city, to provide guidance on composition, use of light and perspective and finally give suggestions on getting the best photographs from our camera's. Steve did all that in a charming and congenial way.

I enjoyed the tour a great deal. Steve Bisgrove was my guide. He started by finding out my level of knowledge and then teaching me things that were just beyond where I was. I had never had a photography class and so some of the things he taught me were really basic, which is exactly what I needed. Steave taught me a bit about composition, as much as I could absorb really. He taught me about the primary settings on my camera and how they impacted the picture. He told me about additional information I needed to learn, and suggested sites to get that information when I have time. I found the instruction very helpful. The walk included discussion of topic selection and hints about where to look to find interesting subjects to photograph, in any city really, since there is no shortage in Rome. I believe that anyone would find 4 hours with Steve useful and informative, and they will take better and more interesting pictures at the end. I would say that the percentage of my photos that look good in a slide show went from about 20 to more like 80 as a result of the instruction. THANKS STEVE. I could have imporved the experiance by letting him know what camera I use before the trip.

I took a walking tour of ancient Rome on Monday, June 14th with Steve and I have to say it was fantastic. I was expecting a group of 6 but to my surprise it was a one on one tour. Steve’s knowledge of Rome was excellent and it was terrific seeing Rome from his point of view. He knew all the best locations for incredible photographs. Best of all, Steve was an excellent teacher. This tour was much better than I had anticipated.

I just took this tour and my photos from it are fantastic. I learn more about how to take cool photos on this tour than I could have imagined. I especially like the techniques we learned for shooting at night, like in my picture of St. Peter's Square. Some people on the tour just had little point and shoot cameras but they got great shots too. Do this tour when you arrive, that way all your photos will be good!

Steve meets you as arranged on time and takes you on somewhat of a guided tour around while taking photos. I chose the 9am tour, which landed up being terrible time for photos - really harsh light and shadows.
