This tour is about more than shooting pictures: our interactions mediated by the camera, the ability "to read" a picture, to understand why it impacts the way it does, all this determines whether a picture survives the test of time - or not. This is why I will be showing & discussing with you the pictures during the shooting, to help you reach even more natural poses. Every guest receives 20 professionally edited photos within one week. This activity takes place exclusively outdoors.

Inclusions: 20 edited portrait pictures

We took the photo tour in April this year with our 2 kind and it was an amazing experience! Liviu is kind and funny, has a lot of patience - a great guide and with photographer skills I have never met before. Our kids were thrilled with his playful style and gave them a lot trust in taking photos all over the places we went! I would definitely do it again :))

We loved this food tour, it was one of our favorite activities in Berlin! Since it was just our group Liz was able to customize it to our liking. She took us to some of her favorite spots, places we never would have found on our own. We felt like locals and oh man was the food delicious! Liz was very entertaining and charming and even helped us navigate our way to our next activity. We loved every minute of the food tour and highly recommend Liz!

First of all, a bit about our guide, Paul. He was incredible. Full of information, including history leading up to the war, and spent time on the journey telling us the background and showing things of interest. He could answer every question, and was obviously passionate about history and the area. He actually made our visit, and for that we cannot thank him enough. From purchasing the tickets to meeting our guide to getting back to our hotel, the process was easy. The journey is long on the train, followed by a 15 minute walk to Sachsenhausen, so be aware of that. The actual place - I don’t think I can put into words what it was like. The thought of being there, and hearing and imagining what the prisoners went through, was humbling, and made us reflect on how lucky we are. We didn’t take photos, as did not feel it was right to do so (our personal view), and we were also so busy listening to Paul we didn’t really think about taking any. There is a café- we thought there wasn’t so took some lunch with us, but would eat at the café if we returned as it looked nice food (soup/sandwiches/cake) and was reasonably priced. The biggest advice we would give is take a coat, even if it is not particularly cold. The wind across the open space was biting at times. We would say this is an unmissable trip, and be prepared to be moved. And ask for Paul - you won’t be disappointed.

Definitely recommended! The most fun and interesting thing I did during my week in Berlin! The bikes are super comfortable and cruising through Berlin is a great way to experience the city. The tour guide was great as well. Overall a must do in my opinion. I did both a walking and cycling tour. I recommend to do the cycling one because it's more fun to roll through the city in my opinion and you will see a lot more as well!

We are the #1 tour in Frankfurt for a reason. Our native Engish-speaking guides always try to make your tour memorable with unique tidbits of Frankfurt history as well as being passionate about showing you this beautiful city. We believe the only way to see Frankfurt is on foot where you can enter buildings and see where history was made. We show you places the tour buses can't. There is no reason to book this tour ahead of time, you can just show up at our meeting point and pay cash on the day of the tour. It will cost you less than booking ahead. It is an easy walk, with comfort breaks, snack break, and is stroller and wheelchair friendly. Private tours, group tours, and layover tours available by request when you visit our website and we answer emails promptly.

My boyfriend and I had a 7 hour layover in Oct of this year and decided to book a 2hr tour. We were not disappointed. Anita was our tour guide who met us at the airport and off we went on train to explore Frankfurt. Anita was very personable and knowledgeable as she led us through the city center to delve into history including rebuilding of city after bombing and seeing some of the main landmarks. I am a foodie so I loved the food market and was able to taste some of the native food dishes like green sauce and this truly amazingly delicious pastry with almonds (sorry forgot but name photo below). Loved that it was a walking tour as it was a great and uninhibited way to be introduced to a new city.
