Excellent! Highlight of...

Excellent! Highlight of the trip. Pedro was such a wonderful teacher, we all learned so much and had a wonderful time even though it rained.

Amazing - loved the tour!

Honestly, this has been the highlight of my trip so far. The tour was so great - to see real and quaint Lisbon with a local who knew the area was super knowledgeable and chill. I've done these type of photo-walks on many travel / visiting new places, but this one was the best. Pedro was super knowledgeable about the camera and although I've done many classes in the past, I still walked away with several tips and things to think about to take my photography forward. He also was respectful of the type of photography that I like to do, looked at my photos after and gave me ideas on composition. He was also a cool guy to spend a few hours with. The places in Alfama were really beautiful and real places too - places I would not have found on my own. I came away with 4-5 shots that I really like - which after a few hours being out is way better than what I could do on my own. Plus all the suggestions that really pushed my thinking. And it was so enjoyable. Absolutely loved the tour -- so glad that I booked it. Pedro was super. If you're into photography, book the tour!

Excellent!

Pedro was excellent. Great communication pre-tour to set-up meeting point. We spent a good deal of time talking about composing pictures and theory, but it a very practical, everyday use way - which is exactly what I was looking for. We then headed out into Alana where he helped me work through what we had discussed - what did I see, what story was I trying to tell. He also provided technical advice on using my specific camera. And he knows the neighborhood. Next time I’m here, I definitely want to try the golden hour tour.
