Loved it

Tanishia_H, Apr 2025
Emanuele was great! He really took the time to understand my skill level and what kind of photography I liked and catered his guidance and coaching to my needs and style. He provided great tips and took us to some great spots for unique photos of the Colosseum and Forum. It was a great way to learn more about photography.

My instructor was amazing...

Phyllis_T, Mar 2025
My instructor was amazing and took the time to really teach everything from the beginner as I have 0 experience. Lots of information to help guide me to continue to learn. Lots of great sites seen during the time as well.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

We're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience! Our team loves helping beginners build their confidence and skills while exploring amazing locations. Keep practising, and we hope to see you again on another photography adventure!

Novice photographer visits Rome

My husband and I had a great day shooting photos with Emanuele. It was awesome learning perspective from a professional urban landscape photographer. He was patient and informative and knew all the scenic gems of the city! We would love to go out with Emanuele again the next time we visit Rome.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

We’re delighted you and your husband had a fantastic day capturing Rome’s beauty and learning new perspectives. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the experience.

Learn a lot while shooting with a great guide in an amazing city.

Matt_M, Jul 2024
Emanuele was excellent. Took time to understand the level I was on then work with me to learn my camera and have me look at photography from a different perspective. He provided some amazing spots to take pictures of sites around the city (including a secret place to get an amazing shot of Trevi fountain!) My non photographer wife tagged along and was really impressed with how much I learned in a short time.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

We're glad to hear that you had a great experience and that the guidance helped you see photography from a new perspective. It's wonderful that you discovered amazing spots around the city, we know some good hidden gems around a lot of corners. Glad you got to experience them with us.

Excellent Photography Tour in Rome!

Richard_G, Jun 2024
Booking a one on one photography walking tour with Emanuele from Aperture Tours was the best! He not only helped me get some great shots, from the best locations; he also gave me some excellent advice on camera settings and street photography composition. As I only had one day in Rome this was simply the best way to see and photograph some of the most spectacular sites in Rome. I was also very grateful that Emanuele helped me get to the Metro (to get back to the station for my return trip to Naples) and he then waited to make sure I got my ticket. Emanuele is an excellent photographer and patient teacher who knows his stuff and knows the city. Highly recommend this photography walking tour with Emanuel.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Emanuelle was an excellent and patient professional photographer. His advice on the correct settings to us on my camera to compose pictures in this beautiful city was excellent. I would strongly recommend this walking tour to anybody who wants to see Rome in a different light.

Emanuele is a gifted artist and photography genius! We enjoyed his master class of lighting, composition and attention to architectural detail and then showcased with the backdrop of Rome's iconic sites. The photos & memories captured during our tour are the highlight of our vacation. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. AMAZING!
