Expecting rarer interesting views. Save your money. Just tourist places, large group, disappointing

Richard the leader was very good helping those who may not have been up to speed with their camera settings before we set off on a walk around parts of the City of London before finally ending up at Tate Modern. He encouraged us to take photos of buildings from different angles to achieve various effects rather than the standard shot as well as providing a brief history of some of the buildings we were photographing. Weather was perfect which was great for a November day and we had the added spectacle of the Lord Mayor's Show procession. A small group, eight of us, which was an ideal number for a tour of this nature gelled together and we all took something away from our experience.

Richard was amazing explaining about different camera techniques, very friendly and supportive. I had a great time :) thank you

Keith T

This was a gift and happened to take place close to where I work but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the course. We all had different abilities and some were new to this part of London but I think we all learned something. I took away some great hints and tips as well as a newfound appreciation for a part of London I often speed through on the way to catch trains or meetings! A great course for newcomers and those wanting some new insights or a new perspective on their photography.

Billy G

A really good opportunity to get some unique photos of London and its history, rather than the same old 'tourist' shots.

As someone who had got a little lazy with the auto settings on my SLR camera, this tour of London sights was ideal to get me experimenting with the camera. Nice and relaxed style and informative tips helped me to refresh and rejuvenate my use of manual settings on the camera. The well thought out tour route took in key London sights and architecture. Recommended for those a little rusty with their photography and wanting to get back their David Bailey mojo.

Alan C

Excellent and very informative,I would recommend this tour whether you are new to photography or not,the course instructor was very knowledgeable

Jobenina

I had a really relaxed, fun and informative tour, seeing parts of London I'd never been to before as well as seeing some familiar sights from a new angle (literally). My guide was friendly, helpful and easy to talk to.

We had a great afternoon learning about the City of London and lots of tips on taking photographs of the iconic buildings. Even though it turned out to be one of the coldest days of the year we loved it and would recommend to anyone. Real mix of ages and abilities on tour. Leader was excellent in his approach and attitude.
