Memorable Experience Captured in Venice

Shawn_R, May 2024
Our photographer (Michael) and Gondolier (Tommy) were clearly professionals and experts at what they do. Admittedly, we had just travels into Venice and Michael’s calming demeanor helped peel away the fatigue, which led to a memorable experience. As a couple with little kids, we never get a chance to take couple pictures, so this was a nice treat and experience. Thank you so much!

Photoshoot of a lifetime

Rebecca_N, Apr 2024
We had a great experience with our photographer Michael! It is hard when you are traveling from another country and not sure how to contact a photographer, so this agency service where they will arrange the photographer for you is great! Michael Zennaro was an amazing photographer and you can see all of his work on his website as well. The photos he took will be cherished for a lifetime ❤️

You gotta do this tour/shoot

Caleb_B, Mar 2024
Marco was fantastic. Knew exactly where to go for memorable shots. Can’t wait to see the photos. This was so much fun; even ended by a spectacular restaurant to wrap Up The evening!

Misty, moody and magical

Mary_V, Feb 2024
Great experience with the photographer and gondolier! We had a misty morning photo shoot with a few empty Venecian alleyway and bridges which amplified the experience. A bit cold but was February! A very memorable experience.

Very professional, gorgeous pictures

Sarah_F, Feb 2024
Michael was an excellent photographer, we love all of the pictures and he took us to great spots that were away from the really busy areas to get the most perfect pictures. He was easy to talk to and made our photoshoot fun!

Such a great experience!

AMANDA_R, Aug 2023
The gondola ride was so nice and pleasant. The gondolier was great and the photographer was awesome, going above and beyond to help with restaurant ideas, tourist attractions and shopping.

Wonderful Evening and Memories Forever

We were in Venice for two nights. It was the end of our trip with our kids before our son leaves for college. I wanted a way to document our time in Venice and get some family pictures. This tour was the perfect way to see a bit of Venice, ride on a gondola and get family pictures. Sara and Mauro were the perfect tour guide and photographer. Sara shared with us stories of her city and her family. Mauro took the most beautiful pictures for us. We can't thank them enough for helping us create wonderful memories.

Beautiful photos in a beautiful city

alexia_v, May 2023
What a wonderful experience. Michael was kind and personable and made shooting a breeze for my husband and I. He showed us all over Venice and found quiet nooks to take some beautiful photos. The gondola ride was lovely throughout the beautiful city. Highly recommend this experience!

Amazing!

Cindy_A, Feb 2023
We had a wonderful time. As a couple it is difficult to take pictures together when we travel other than selfies. It was a fun experience and our photographer Michael was so patient and friendly. We were in Carnival costume so was stopped every few minutes by other tourists wanting to take our picture. He patiently waited as we were celebrities for a few minutes. The gondola ride was so amazing. I can’t hardly wait to see the pictures.

Incredible photos

Oliver_U, Oct 2022
We have had many photographers in all metropolises, like Paris, London, New York, etc. but Mauro took by far the most beautiful photos. I would book this again at any time!

Wonderful time!

Nohea_A, Oct 2022
Our family had a great time catching some beautiful moments in Venice with Giussepe and our photographer. They were so courteous and lovely to spend time with. We are looking forward to seeing our family pictures!

Awesome experience

We had such a great time, it was full of fun. Michael Zennaro was our photographer, very experienced and so much patience. We loved everything about this photo shoot and the Gondola ride.

Fun time in Venice

Ann_R, Jul 2022
We had a great time doing this photo shoot! Michael was wonderful and did such a good job! We are very pleased with the photos that we received.

100% Highly Recommend Booking Michael for this tour!!

Laura_B, Jun 2022
Michael was AMAZING!! He was fun and personable! He made our entire family feel comfortable (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and had some great hidden away spots for great pictures! He gave us tips on poses to get the best shots, even for our different body types, so we all looked good. He even answered our questions and gave us tips on beaches, water taxis and local traditional snacks for Venice! Highly recommend!!

Not to miss while in Venice

Beata, Apr 2022
There is no doubt: the photographer and gondola. Michael was a fantastic guy. Not just a photographer.. He has shown us beautiful places and made a fantastic photos. This is highly recommended.

Simply amazing!

Anand_T, Nov 2021
Giuseppe our tour guide and the photographer were amazing! Giuseppe was a great guy and helped make the proposal to my partner special. I cannot thank him enough!

Well organised and enjoyable

Charlotte_S, Nov 2019
We were collected from our hotel on time by Giuseppe the guide and Mauro the photographer, both were friendly and professional. Mauro clearly knew good scenic locations in the area and made us feel at ease - neither of us had done anything like this before. We were celebrating our engagement and we would highly recommended it to others.

Excellent service

Glenn_I, Aug 2019
They met us personally at the hotel, coordinated the event and locations that were off the normal path of tourist and memorable

Amazing experience and incredible photos!

I booked this as a surprise proposal for my girlfriend and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Sylvia, our guide was very knowledgeable and funny and even set us up with a dinner reservation for after the photo shoot. The photo shoot itself was great, our photographer knew all the secret spots where you could get more privacy and all kinds of amazing shots. The final photos we received were beautiful. Would absolutely recommend to anybody who is looking for a romantic once-in-lifetime experience while they’re in Venice!

Fantastic Opportunity

ptryc, Jun 2019
This was a great opportunity to enjoy Venice and obtain terrific photos without having to worry about getting selfies.yourself. This tour combined a coordinator with a photographer which was a great combination. The photographer could work his magic with backgrounds and the coordinator helped get us from point to point around Venice for the best photos at all the hot spots. Giordana was excellent at coordinating and Mauro did the photo work. Well worth the investment for a very memorable visit to Venice.

AMAZING TIME

Ryan_C, Apr 2019
Marco was amazing, he put us totally at ease and knew everything about Venice he knew ahead of my plans to propose during the gondola ride and took amazing pictures at the exact moment. He made it special helped us back to our taxi and put so much effort into everything. I cannot reconmend him enough.

Amazing amazing amazing!!!

Fantastic tour and beautiful photos

Tammy_A, Jul 2018
Our photographer Marco was amazing. Not only did he take beautiful and special photographs but he was a fantastic tour guide. We loved learning about Venice from a Venetian. He helped us feel at ease while taking the photographs and the finished products were stunning. Do not hesitate to book this deal. It is expensive but worth every penny.

This was an AMAZING tour. Our photographer Alberto was so knowledgeable and such a friendly person. We had our 22 months old infant with us and Alberto was so kind and accommodating that he held our sleeping baby in one hand and took pictures with the other. He had an amazing knowledge of Venice and gave his deep insights about each location we visited, taking amazing pictures which, we will cherish our whole life. The gondola ride was an icing on the cake. It was truly an amazing experience all thanks to Alberto. I highly recommend this.

James_M, Jul 2018
I was not looking for this kind of tour to start with. I was wanting to book a gondola ride and this tour popped up with it. I love taking photos so this tour was right up my alley. I decided to book this tour because the reviews were so high. Marco was our photographer, he and the pictures are great

Sharifah N, Jul 2018
My husband and I chose this tour for our post-wedding photo shoot. It was worth it! Best decision ever. Our photographer Giordana Losi and our tour guide I'm so sorry I forgot his name were wonderful. They brought us to the quiet streets of Venice and suggested great poses for us. The photos were beautiful and very well taken and edited. Exceeded expectations! Great for couples. However, try not to wear heels as there is a lot of walking involved.
