A Photo Tour is a sightseeing tour driven by a professional photographer that will lead you to places, not always obvious, where to take the most significant photographs of the city itself. The Photo Tour, lasting one up to eight hours, does not provide a full technical support or education but rather some suggestions on how to get the best image in that situation. Having a Photo Tour means being able to know the hidden sides of a city and often the most important ones in terms of image.
