For some people, travel and photography are inseparable. Whether you are an amateur or a professional, our Photo Cultural Tours are designed to accommodate the needs of those who delight in documenting their travels through their lenses. We teamed up with professional photographer who have lent their considerable expertise and travel experience to help design the very itineraries that they lead. The itineraries are designed to suit photographers; we chase light and plan our activities around optimal conditions for creating the best record of your trip. We have carefully selected photogenic sites and festivals to include into each of our Photo Cultural Journeys.
Although their emphasis is on photography, these tours are suitable for any adventurous traveler looking for a vacation that is out of the ordinary. In addition to our photography expert, the tours are also fully escorted by a cultural guide and tour leader.
