Cancellation policy

​

1. If weather conditions will not allow the tour to happen, you are entitled to reschedule it. On my end, I’ll ensure to find you a new slot or you will be reimbursed for the total amount paid.

2. If any circumstances will prevent me to cancel the tour, I will either make anything possible to find you a new slot or you will be fully refunded.

3. If you should cancel the tour a week before the scheduled date you will be fully reimbursed. Though, 25 euros per person booked will be retained by the Company for administration costs. 

4. Should you cancel the tour 48 hours before the scheduled date you will have only the 50% of the paid amount refunded.

5. Should you cancel the tour 24 hours before the scheduled date there will be no refund.

Insurance and liability

​

Rome Photo Fun Tours is not liable for any damage or loss that might occur, hence you should hold insurance fully covering yourself, the people taking the tour with you if minors or under your responsibility, and your gear. When you will contact me to book a tour, I will send you a clear liability release document to be signed in order to avoid any potential litigation in case of accidents during the tour(s).

​
Personalized multi-day workshops 

In case you should look for special arrangements, such as personalized tours or multiple tours, e.g. a Day and Night combination tour,  a series of tours to be taken on different days, or out of town tours, I will budget for a specific private fee based on your actual requirements.

Those can be organized for individuals, couples, families, or small groups of friends.

The fee will be communicated once the tour is determined and agreed upon through email, and the payment will be processed through my platform by creating your own ticket, just like the other regular tours.

​

The booking policy for these alternative tours is as follows: 

​​​​

1. The highest number for a group is up to six people traveling together.      

2. The payment does not include medical, travel, and equipment insurance. Those should be taken care of by you or by your tour operator/travel agency.

3. Drinks, meals, the eventual costs for public or private transportation are also not included.

4. Special agreements can be taken to have aperitifs and meals arranged in characteristic bars and restaurants according to your liking.

5. Mild weather conditions such as drizzles or wind will not stop us to take our tours. ​

Language

​

The tours are normally conducted in English, but I also speak French, I do understand Spanish and I am a native Italian speaker.​​

 

​Gear

​

You can participate in the tour with any kind of equipment you have. Ideally, you should have a digital camera, a spare battery, one memory card by 32 GB and a second card as back up one wide lens ranging from 18 or 24mm to 70mm or 85 mm, and a zoom lens from 70mm to 200mm. Always make sure to have your lenses well cleaned before starting the tour. It would also be good if you could bring along a small kit to clean them, with a microfiber cloth, in case they get wet or dusty as we do the tour. Make also sure to have the camera sensor well clean before the tour. It would be wonderful if you also had either a 35mm or a 50 mm with a low F stop (1.4 to 2.8). For night tours you should have a good tripod. If you don’t have it, I will give you mine.​

​

The age range of clients

​

 Anybody from 18 to 80 years old, in medium good shape, able to walk long distances even at a slow pace. Don’t worry, we will not be running a marathon, rather take our time to take good shots and learn the technique.  Minors can participate only if accompanied by their parents or tutors holding their legal responsibility.

 

Manners

​

Monuments and statues usually don’t get offended or get hostile when you take photos of them, nor they have to sign a release for you to take a shot of them…. but some people might. It is always a good policy to be kind, open, and discreet when taking photos of people, especially during the street photography tour. Italy hosts millions of tourists every year, and we are quite used to photographers trying to portrait our colorful way of being, still, my suggestion would be using some tact, common sense, and understanding of the environment around.

Good manners and respect are also a must when taking photos in churches, and it is good to know that normally, it is not allowed to take photos during mass, while is always forbidden to use flash and tripods both in churches and museums.
