What my Customers say in their Reviews: Wonderful tour! I am very happy with my choice to book this tour. I got to visit two different but beautiful locations an easy drive outside Rome, and learn to improve my photography skills at the same time. Giulio was a wonderful and easygoing teacher and helped me learn new skills and gain confidence to begin using the manual settings on my camera more often. I would happily take another tour with Giulio to visit other beautiful locations and continue increasing my photography knowledge. Jenny S. What a fantastic way to visit these two beautiful villas! Giulio drove us to the villas where he we told us about the history while showing us interesting ways to capture the beauty with our cameras. We loved the experience and would highly recommend this tour. Adrienne Hill Fabulous Guide, Photos & Location! I am so glad I took this photo tour. I've been trying to step up my photo skills and this tour with Giulio made it happen! He is an excellent teacher - both patient and kind. He is very clear and shows you step by step - if that's what you need. But we quickly went way beyond the basics. He made beautiful suggestions and let me take the images I saw (not just what's on a list like other tours). He made me a much better photographer! I liked the idea of a photo day at the two stunning Villas in Tivoli while I was visiting busy Rome. The Villas have beautiful places for photos inside and out in the amazing gardens. He knows the history well and shared interesting stories about them. We stopped for a delicious lunch in town and ended the day with a snack. It was a perfect day. I have many outstanding photos thanks to this tour! He is a perfect gentleman, expert photographer, and gracious host. I highly recommend a tour with Giulio. I am so glad I did this. I will take his Rome night photo tour next time I'm in Rome. Do not hesitate to book a tour - you will have gorgeous photos to show your family and friends too!!! Lisa Burghart Wonderful experience, if you’re looking at this tour, do it! Wonderful tour with fantastic lesson in photography. Giulio quickly assessed my skill level and then provided excellent personalized tips for improving my photography. Also very knowledgeable about the places we visited and gave great recommendations for the rest of my trip. Fantastic day despite the heatwave! Davida Wonderful! One of the best tours I had in Italy .The two villas were just wonderful and full of history our tour guide Giulio was perfect he was very informative and a perfect photographer and teacher can’t thank him enough for the wonderful day me and my husband had . Zaineb Great photography learning experience! I learned a tremendous amount that will help me take better photos in the future. Giulio is quite knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge and passion for photography. Hadrian's Villa and the Villa d'Este are both beautiful sites and I learned a lot about composition, angles, and lighting that I will be able to apply at other places. Giulio is also very personable and it was a fantastic day. I highly recommend his tours. Virginia Excellent! I surprised my daughter with this booking. I am so happy that I did. She loves photography and was going to be in Rome that day with nothing to do. This was a perfect surprise for her. He was incredible professional and she had so much fun. She took over 1400 photos that day. I would highly recommend this to any camera geek (which my daughter is). Make sure that you have a blank 64 GB memory card and wear comfortable shoes. The photos are incredible. David Learned A Lot! I had a lot of fun working with Giulio throughout my tour. He really worked with me and didn't make me feel like I was doing something wrong ever. He would take a picture and I would do the same. He was always wanting to see the shot to make sure it turned out well. At one point he could read my body language that I was unhappy with how the photos were turning out and he took the time, stopped, and made changes to my camera in order for me to have success. He also was willing to let me explore different areas on my own so that I could get photos that were interesting to me. He was also really easy to talk to and I learned a lot. Another part of the tour that I really enjoyed was that as the day went on I got more comfortable and confident in what I my photos ended up with. I highly suggest any of his tours. I have way to many photos to choose from to use in USA state photography contests. Well worth the money. Tess Unfortunately you can’t give more than 5 stars! I made the Tour to Tivoli with Giulio which was already the fourth tour which I made with Giulio. After the stunning 3 tours in 2021 it was sure that I will do another tour with him when I come back to Rome. So punctual as always he picked me early in the morning at my hotel from where we drove together to Tivoli which took approximately 45 minutes.. Arriving there the photo tour started. As always I was a bit nervous at the beginning and needed advice. So he was as always very helpful with explanation concerning the settings and the composition of the photos and later he made great suggestions to improve the photos which I took by myself. Additionally he is a very patient teacher also when you don’t understand something immediately. His extremely helpful explanations are given in a way that you keep them in your mind to use them also after the end of the tour. And what was most impressive to see is that you can see how much he loves the photography and the possibility to share his knowledge (not only about photography but also about history, the places you visit and so on) with his customers. No question is too much and also no further foto stop if there is something interesting even if it takes more time than expected. To summarize it he is a great teacher and guide, an excellent photographer, a safe driver and a kind and great man. So I highly recommend to book this or any other tour with him! You would miss a wonderful experience and time to see parts of Rome in a unique way. Thanks a lot for everything, Giulio! Annette
