Great tour & photos for our 40th anniversary!

njuybnrml, Oct 2024

Antonio has a talent! He not only educated us on some history of Rome that we did not know, but he provided wonderful pictures of us as we celebrated our 40th anniversary on this trip! We are so glad we have more than "selfies". We will book with him when we return to Rome to have pictures done in different areas.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for your words Norma, If I do this job, it’s for the pleasure of meeting people like you, sharing my knowledge of Rome and photographing them in this incredible city. Best wishes and see you soon nex time! Antonio

Absolutely wonderful experience!

Kathleen_J, Oct 2023

Our experience was even better than what we hoped for. Our photographer was talented, gracious, and a wonderful guide. We very much enjoyed walking around Rome with Antonio, and learning and seeing things that made the experience special. Antonio took a great number of wonderful pictures and was very creative with backgrounds and ideas for us to try. He was patient and enjoyable to engage with and sent us so many wonderful photos within a few short days. We couldn't be happier and will enjoy the memories for a lifetime!

Rome

NgocDung_P, Aug 2023

I had my walking tour and photos with Antionio in Rome. After you book, he will give you three options to pick from, and I picked the area around the Spanish Steps. The sights were beautiful and Antionio is kind and understanding. He delivered the photos really quickly. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes for this walk. Ladies, leave your uncomfortable heels at your hotel room, because the sights are gorgeous and you don't want to miss anything while your feet are hurting.

Honeymoon Pictures in Rome

Peggy_P, Jun 2023

Antonio helped us find many private vantage points of ancient Rome. He was also helped explain the significance of those sights.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your kind words, Peggyl! It has been a pleasure to show my city and photograph you during your honeymoon! Best regards, Antonio

Michael_S, Jun 2023

Antonio my photographer was excellent he took some wonderful solo pictures of me and gave me some nice history about the city of Rome, Italy. He deserves it. I’m happy with my photos taken by Antonio.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for your kind words, Michael! It has been a pleasure for Rome Photography Tours! Best regards, Antonio

Don't miss a chance to memorialize your incredible vacation with great photo's!

Stanley_S, Oct 2022

Antonio was my tour guide and photographer. Antonio did an excellent job all around and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him to a friend. He communicated great before and after the tour. Antonio offered several "itineraries" for our tour and did a great job of managing time. He took excellent photos in great locations and even sent me previews so I could post them the same day. Great person and fabulous photographer.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you Stan, working with you has been really special, as a photographer and as a human being. Good luck for all your life! Antonio

Perfect day

Marlene_S, Sep 2022

We booked this experience for the bachelorette of my sister. Antonio (the fotographer) was so nice. He offered us different tours through the city but was also fine with our requests. While walking through the city he shared a lot of interessting facts and stories about Rome with us. The Fotos turned out amazing. He made about 50 Fotos which he all edited and send to us the same day. They were amazing. He showed us spots we wouldn't have known about on our own and made for an excellent backround. And also made sure we had small breaks as it was a really hot day. I would definitely book this again and would recomend it to anyone HUGE Thank you to Antonio

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you for your kind words, Marlene! It has been a pleasure. Best wishes! Antonio

Jessica_T, Dec 2021

I booked Antonio for my daughter’s senior pictures while we vacationed in Rome. He was an absolute gem and a pleasure to work with. He had a ton of idea and our pictures were stunning when we received them. I’m beyond happy with our photos and highly recommend Antonio!

Melody M, Sep 2017

This was a great idea to get some really nice photos in Rome besides just selfies taken with your phone. The pictures came out very nice and Antonio was a great guide and photographer. It was a great suggestion to meet early to get photos in front of the Trevi Fountain before a lot of people turned up. If I'm in Rome again, I will definitely book another photo tour with Antonio!

annie y, Jun 2017

Antonio was such a calming influence and a lovely person to spend time with. If you want good photos of you taken around Rome, this is totally the tour for you. We walked around the city, with Antonio explaining the history behind the neighborhoods, and taking fun pictures of you. Just do it if you have time and can afford it. It'll be a great memory of your time in rome!

Having visited Rome many times and...

Nicola B, Mar 2017

Having visited Rome many times and always been behind the camera, this was a good excuse to be centre stage of the lens and veer off the main tourist beat. There is some gentle walking to be done to find the best spots and Antonio explained a lot of the sights along the way. We started at Torre Argentina, taking a scenic walk through Trastevere, which has some lovely spots for shots and ended at the Pantheon. The pictures came through the next day, which were great - you can see it takes time to get into the experience, so I recommend some practise poses and shots beforehand to get warmed up. The quality of the camera and Antonio are to be trusted. Highly recommended, think I'm addicted!

anabs, Jan 2017

This was such a great experience I highly recommend it. Our local photographer, Antonio, was great! Easy and fast communication before our meeting and he met us promptly Piazza Navona on the day of our tour. Antonio took great pictures and led us around the streets of Rome as we explored and learned so much about the places that we visited. I liked that he took pictures of the local scene in Rome - fountains, old walls, bridges, stairs and more. My friends and family were impressed by the beautiful pictures I shared with them. Antonio sent a few pictures for me to share right away on the evening of the tour and sent a link with the rest of the pictures within a few days. I am so excited to make a photo book with all these pictures from Rome. Grazie Antonio!

MOthna_H, Oct 2016

We booked a photo tour with Antonio...

Janet T, Oct 2016

We booked a photo tour with Antonio to celebrate and capture our parents 50th wedding anniversary, our first first trip to Rome as a family. We contacted Antonio via email prior to arrival to determine the location identified by our parents Villa Borghese. Antonio met us at a hotel and we walked up to the gardens. We'd discussed some backdrops and he had a few points of interest throughout the gardens. As we walked he staged gorgeous photos in natural light. He'd capture our parents, the whole family, pictures of the 5 of us and pictures of my boyfriend and I as a couple. His warm, caring personality and immediate dialogue allowed us to relax and have fun with breathtaking back grounds. As we walked through the gardens he snapped candid shots in all different combinations that really captured that beautiful afternoon and the joy of the family.

Rachelle M H, Sep 2016

This tour was very exciting, informative, and personal. We had an AMAZING time with our guide and truly learned a lot from our experience. I would recommend this tour and this guide to anyone who plans to travel to this area of Europe. The tour was well-worth the money, and I will definitely book this tour or a similar tour the next time I travel!

AnnSophie_A, Apr 2016

The photo portraits walking tour in Rome was a great experience for three reasons. First, the professional photographer guide made our trip to Rome especially memorable for our little family by taking beautiful photographs of us in Rome. Second, we have discovered another interesting facet of Rome with a local guide. Finally, the photographer guide is really professional and very nice.

Tolles Rom-Fotoshooting mit Antonio!

Andrea_H, Apr 2024

Antonio hat uns wunderbar durch Rom geführt, tolle Fotos gemacht und uns zugleich noch einiges über die Geschichte in Rom erzählt. Uns alles hat das Fotoshooting super gefallen. Eine kleine Anmerkung habe ich noch, es wäre schön, wenn Antonio etwas mehr darauf achten konnte, ob eine die Kleidung gut sitzt, oder ob ein kleiner Mauervorsprung im Weg ist. Aber das sind nur Kleinigkeiten. Es hat uns allen mit Antonio sehr viel Spaß gemacht!!!! Danke nochmal 🤗!
