I had a great time on the Rome, Churches, Angels and Art Photo Tour! Giulio not only took me to many beautiful churches - Basilica di San Pietro, Sant'Agnese in Agone, San Luigi dei Francesi, Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, plus a few others - he helped me with photographing statuary and special areas in several churches that I would not have known about and would not have thought to photograph. During our walks between churches, we stopped for a few minutes to photograph iconic landmarks like Castel St. Angelo and the Tiber River, the Piazza Navona and the Fontana dei Fiumi, the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. We even stopped in a restaurant where a woman was hand-rolling pasta! It was the perfect way to spend an early Saturday morning in Rome - filled with beauty and photography!

Dear Sherryl, First of all, let me apologize for the very late reply to your beautiful and enthusiastic review. Secondly, thanks a lot for the very nice and flattering words you wrote about the tour we had together. I had a great time during our photowalk and it was a great pleasure meeting you, engaging not only in photography but also in very interesting conversations. As we spoke during the photo tour, in regards to other potential future photo tours you might want to take in Italy in the future, please be aware that starting in December this year I will also be offering multi-day tours, in Rome and Latium, Umbria, Tuscany, and Apulia, three amazing and very photogenic regions in the center and south Italy. These tours will be fully customized holistic multiday journeys, tailored around your wishes, time availability, and budget. If you should be interested in them, I would be more than happy to discuss the different options and itineraries together. In the meantime, thanks again for your wonderful 5-star review. Best regards, Giulio

Another excellent tour!

Another amazing tour! This was my second tour with Giulio and he continued to impress me with his knowledge in photography and local history. He knows Rome so well, that we’re able to visit numerous churches and sites in just a single morning. This tour was an excellent value!

Hello Marlon, Thanks a lot for yet another enthusiastic 5-star review from your end. I am truly glad you liked also the Churches, Angels, and Art Photo Tour. I personally enjoyed meeting, conversing, and walking with you as we photographed not only the most important churches of Rome but also some street scenes we could capture during our beautiful photo walk. Let me also say, that is very important for me that you have acknowledged and appreciated my tour(s) in terms of value and cost. I wish you a great time in Rome and all the other beautiful places you will visit in Italy. Do not hesitate to contact me again in case you will want to have other tours in Rome or out of Rome. I would truly appreciate it, if you could please share my contacts and website, within your social media and friends. Best regards, Giulio

Hands-down the hightlight of my Rome visit!

You’re being coached by a Roman who can not only walk you to the best photo spots in Rome with his eyes closed, but because he’s a professional photographer with multi-layered knowledge and experience in different cultures and continents, he will also effortlessly guide you with your composition and camera settings. Very warm, friendly, kind, and funny. In perfect English, he gives you technical tips, gently and patiently repeating them until they sink in your head. He has loads of stories to tell, not only about the history of the sites, but pretty much else under the sun, including how to marinate rabbit and why you have to jaywalk with him on Rome’s busy streets. :) What’s not to enjoy?

When I first visited Rome almost two decades ago, I came home with lousy shots from my point-and-shoot. On this second visit, I meant to come home with the best shots possible. I’ve been teaching myself photography for five years in an effort to come up with publishable photos to include in the travel books I’m writing. Although I had a grasp of how the exposure triangle works, I’d never had the benefit of working with a pro. I’d mostly been shooting in either Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority mode, going Manual only occasionally. Giulio had me shooting in purely Manual mode, and after a couple of hours, I started feeling more confident with it.

I took three tours: Rome by Night, Rome by Day, and Churches, Angels and Art, meaning I had the benefit of Giulio’s coaching for at least twelve hours, resulting in a treasure folder of photos. I have been shooting more in Manual mode ever since. Now there’s a thick line that divides my photo files: BG and AG – Before Giulio and After Giulio. You can bet the AGs are superior to the BGs.

The booking procedure was easy; Giulio responded to my emails promptly and clearly, and he accommodated some schedule changes I needed to make. Just keep in mind that the sites you are able to cover depends largely on your skill and energy level.

Five sparkling stars; highly recommended!

Dear Odette, If my tours were good and satisfactory, your reviews not only equal but surpass them. I am so very glad you spent such good and flattering words about your photo walks with me, highlighting not just the photography technical part of them, but their fullness in terms of "experience" you had in Rome not just with a "photography guide" but rather with a person. I must say that it was a real pleasure walking through the eternal city with you, photographing, talking, and exchanging opinions, memories, and life experiences. That is exactly what makes me love this job I invented for myself, and when I read reviews like yours, I feel deeply happy and highly rewarded because I understand I was able to share not only my photography knowledge but also my passion for Rome and my love for life. I do hope our paths will cross again, maybe for future multiday tours in Umbria and Tuscany .... or for a glass of wine :-) Best regards and thanks again, Giulio
