We loved our time with our tour! It was very personal because it was only my daughter and I so he took his time with us. Showed us how to take pictures with our phones and gave us recommendations on places to eat and see. 100% recommended.

Great way to see a different side of Edinburgh and hone your skills. Vas was great at showing me how to get the right angles.

Spectacular! Thanks to Conor Mulloy for his coordination & support for this trip, big thank you to Vasileios Vasakos the Photographer who's given great tips. Absolutely superb & would definitely do it again!

Amazing experience. If you love photography and exploring the city through a photographer’s perspective and lens, it’s a must do. Had a wonderful time capturing the city and myself in the most exciting way.

For a short walking tour, well planned! We went to many good vantage points, for varied types of shots -- and got good conversation, photo advice tailored to our individual levels of skill and equipment, and recommendations for other sights and experiences to try during the rest of our trip.
Had a great time during it, and came away with some of our best photos for the trip, too.

Totally amazed by this tour. It was just not a photography tour
It was a historical one, to get to know the insights about the city centre and have the best locations to take and have pictures is priceless
I am not a photographer and being able to learn something about taking good pictures with easy tips was really great

A really fun and unusual way to experience Edinburgh. The guide gave us tips and took some pictures for us. Great way to spend some time!
Amy_S, Nov 2023
Had a wonderful time! Our guide showed us some off the beaten path places, gave some history plus I walked away with some new photography tips AND some great shots!

Having a professional photographer who knows the city and where the unique views are is a real timesaver and treat! Our guide, Vasileios, was friendly fun to be with and really knew the area for good photo ops. When he learned that I was a retired professional photographer we had that much more to talk about. For 1-1/2 hours we got to more photo locations then I would by myself. Definity the way to go and ask for Vasileios!

Our family loved getting to see some hidden photographic gems near the Edinburgh Royal Mile from our tour guide. And some tips on how to get a great shot.

Vasilieos was a wonderful guide and we met right on time. As I was the only guest, he was very accommodating to what I wanted to see and do, as well as my ability to get around, climbing stairs, etc. He gave me a lot of tips on taking a good picture and took some for me as well. I was glad there was no one else on the tour because after 45 minutes I was really tired and he had no problem ending the tour early. He accompanied me back to the "Hop On Hop Off" bus stop and made sure I got on okay. The only thing I am very sorry about it that I had no money to tip him! I was so embarrassed. I even offered to give him US dollars, but then realized I hadn't brought any money with me at all! Vasilieos was/is such a sweetheart, especially to me, an older woman who was feeling her age that day.
Response from Host, May 2023
Great you enjoyed the tour Cheryl, Vasi is a sweetheart. If you want to come back and finish the tour, let me know and we'll fit you on any tour without any cost. :)

Great tour to see the nooks and crannies of Edinburgh and stop at the best places to take pics. Our tour guide, Vasileios, was a lot of fun and a great guide.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thanks Eric, so glad you had fun finding the nooks and crannies!
Henrietta_E, Jan 2023
Our guide knew all the beautiful hidden away spots we normally wouldn't have known. He was friendly and informative and we had a great time together. Thank you.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thanks Henrietta, glad you enjoyed the tour :)
Angela_L, Aug 2022
Personalize service with this tour guide. He showed us some amazing views from little know locations. But I must say there were lots and lots of stair ways. We got to see some landmarks that were of special interest to us as well. Sweet and short!
Response from Host, May 2023
So glad you enjoyed it Angela, thanks so much

GreT sights, highly respect the guide. He was funny. He learned everyone in group by name and custom involved
Response from Host, May 2023
Always enjoy the warm up games :)
Katherine_D, Jun 2022
I booked this to learn a little bit of information on how to take better vacay pics but also to do another tour. Both expectations were fulfilled. I had a great time and, to make it even better, I was the only one on my tour so it was even better.
I can't wait to edit my photos and post them.
Helen_S, May 2022
Very entertained and knowable. Well worth it! We went down the mile and dipped into a few small closes I didn’t know were there. Lovely spots
Response from Host, Jun 2022
So great that we could show you some hidden spots! Thanks Helen,
