          Great Photography, Professionally Managed, Highly Recommended!
          The photo tour of the Bolivian salt flats and Atacama Desert in Chile was outstanding. Kevin relied on his knowledge and experience in the region to identify perfect locations for capturing incredible shots of wildlife, landscapes, and the Milky Way as well as managing the logistics of getting to and staying comfortably in some very remote locations. I have been an amateur photographer for 40+ years, but this was my first serious go at night shooting. I joked to a friend that Kevin is the Julia Child of astrophotography. He shows you step by step what you need to know and then gives you the opportunity to do it yourself. It was a great experience!

          The Experience of a LIFETIME!! An unforgettable 2 week mother daughter trip around Peru with Andean Photo Expeditions!
          I went on a two-week mother daughter trip through Peru with Andean Photo Expeditions, and it was the most unforgettable adventure I’ve ever had. Dan, the owner, was so helpful in helping us create the perfect itinerary. From the seamless logistics to the thoughtfully chosen accommodations and authentic local experiences, Andean Photo Expeditions exceeded all our expectations!! Our journey began in Lima with the Huacachina Photo tour, a highlight thanks to Dan’s expert guidance, friendly nature, and incredible photography skills. We enjoyed sandboarding and dune buggy rides and received amazing drone footage too. Dan also recommended a private bonfire dinner here and it was one of the most experiences for my mom and I. During Cusco Photo tour and exploration of the Sacred Valley, we were guided by Noe, another talented member of the team. Noe took us to hidden gems and local spots we would never have found on our own, capturing stunning photos and videos throughout the trip. His creativity and talent in videography made every moment special, and he quickly became a friend. A standout experience was the Faces of Peru tour, where we participated in an authentic cultural ceremony with the Quechua community. This unique experience was deeply moving and provided insights into Peruvian culture that we could not have accessed without Andean Photo Expeditions. Noe’s translation from Quechua to English allowed us to engage fully in the ceremony. Our itinerary also included The Moray, Mara’s and Chinchero photography tour (would never have been able to do this much without them!) A highlight here was a beautiful countryside picnic set up for us, and candid moments captured beautifully by Noe throughout. Lastly, a bucket list visit to Machu Picchu, a sunrise horseback to Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, and a final leg to Lake Titicaca - all experienced with the most incredible guide Noe. Andean Expeditions also set up two of the most unique and authentic experiences I’ve ever had - A special geodesic eco-dome camp before Humantay and a homestay experience on our own floating islands of Lake Titicaca, both hosted by the kindest families who made us feel instantly at home and prepared all of our fresh home cooked meals. Noe’s expertise in photography and videography was invaluable. As a new content creator, I learned so much from him that I will carry forward in my future travels. His dedication to capturing the perfect shots is truly so special. This was truly a trip of a lifetime, and I am immensely grateful to Dan and Noe for making it so special. I wholeheartedly recommend Andean Photo Expeditions to anyone looking for an extraordinary travel experience in South America. Thank you, Dan and Noe! I look forward to my next adventure with you both!

          Amazing 8 days tour in the Cusco area
          I just came back from 8 days tour around Cusco area with Andean Photo Expeditions. My whole experience was very positive - Dan was very responsive during the booking process, and the tour guides and the driver were very professional and knowledgeable. I had a great time on this trip to Peru, and I highly recommend this company.

          Visiting the magnificent sacred valley .
          The views from Dan’s unique viewpoints were fantastic, we were the only ones going these places. Also the visit to the indigenous community in 4200m altitude, being the only tourists, was quite an experience.

          Multi Day Photo Tour Pallay Punch, Vinicunca & 7 Lagoons
          Enjoyed a fantastic 3 day photo trip to Pallay Punch, Vinicunca & 7 Lagoons. The service I received was excellent, very helpful, very informative and prompt from my initial enquiry, to booking and throughout the trip. Everyone very helpful, attentive and well organised. My photography host Noah had perfect English and had a genuine passion and enthusiasm. It was my birthday during the trip and he organised a birthday cake and celebration. Lovely touch. All in all would highly recommend.

          Atacama
          Exceptional service and had a fantastic time. Mauro was an excellent guide of the Atacama region. His knowledge of the area and it's history is quite impressive, which greatly helped with our landscape photography of sunrises, sunsets and the milky way. He chose a really good hotel for us and his daily breakfast at the sites was a treat

          Atacama!!
          Three friends and I did a short 3-day tour of the Atacama Deaert. What an amazing place! The areas we were taken to were incredible and included two astrophotography sessions. Our guide was local and knew all the secret spots. Additionally, he was flexible and very receptive to our suggestions. The in-the1field breakfasts were absolutely delicious and greatly appreciated after shooting photos for several hours. 0verall, a wonderful experience that exceeded all our expectations! I would definitely use Andean Photo Expeditions again!

          We booked a 1.5 day tour in the sacred valley seeing ruins of Pisac, ollyantambo, and moray, as well as Maras salt mine with a couple great hikes. Jonathan was an unbelievable guide, extremely knowledgeable, authentic, and an all around great person with great vibes.

          Great experience with Dan with whom we visited part of Peru for a bit more than a week. He was great at finding off the beaten tracks activities as well as original venues. We particularly appreciated his ability to adapt to us and our rhythm. Being a great photographer he helped tremendously in finding the good spots and situations. Highly recommend and looking fwd to our next trip to check out the areas we didn’t have time to go to.

        My solo photography tour with Dan was a highlight of my Lima trip. He expertly guided me to hidden gems and iconic spots, helping me capture the city's vibrant culture and stunning architecture. With his tips and tricks, I was able to take some of my best photos. A truly memorable experience!

        Our two-day private photography tour in Lima was exceptional. Dan made an itinerary that was complied of what he felt was important for first time visitors as well as including our requests based on our photography interests. The photographer and driver were very warm, friendly and professional. It was like being with friends as soon as we were picked up to start our tour. The attention to details and the flexibility was wonderful. The communication was excellent from the initial request and even after the tour. The quality of service was second to none! We felt confident even before the tour that we were in good hands. Everyone involved delivered and we came home with such special memories, great images and new friends!

        I can highly recommend Dan and the team! We would not have had the wonderful experience we did without them!

        A huge thank you to Dan at Andean Photo Expeditions for being such a great guide and teacher during this tour from the moment he picked us up at our hotel to the moment he dropped us off at the end of an outstanding day. The tour was a great overview of Lima and really showed us how beautiful the city is, including some sights you might not find on your typical run-of-the mill tour. Dan managed the time perfectly and made sure we were able to fit in all the things we wanted to see and much more. And as someone who relies on my smartphone to take pictures, I appreciated that he had great tips for me as well as my friends who had photography equipment. If I ever make it back to Peru, I will make sure to book with Andean Photo Expeditions again.

        Arriving for our first time in Lima, we sought a local guide who not only catered to photographers but also would show us the lesser known and emerging spots, places where real Limenos hang out. There’s no one better to do that than Dan and his crew at Andean Photography. He provided a cultural perspective of both its history, politics and current scene . Note: downtown Lima suffers from crazy heavy traffic, so Dan and Cesar’s local knowledge really saved us from a lot of unproductive “stumble around” time. Really important to us: We were able to go into neighborhoods we wouldn’t do on our own. (Lesson: You can go edgier when you’re with someone who knows what would and would not upset the culture while photographing.) BTW- while my husband is a serious DSLR guy, I was using my smartphone and Dan was equally helpful to both of us. When we come back to visit Cuzco, we’re definitely checking in with him again, as we hear he does a great Andes tour as well.

        The best money I’ve spent in a long time!! You will see all the highlights of Lima, catered to a love of photography!! The cultural experience is unbeatable. Dan is a phenomenal guide with unique stories of each place. I felt safe and engaged the entire tour! It has reignited my love for travel photography and brought so much inspiration to pivot my career to photojournalism. I will be going on more tours with Dan and his company in the future!

        My husband and I had three wonderful days with Dan seeing Lima. We explored Colonial Lima from inside historic homes and outside in the streets and plazas. We saw highlights by day, such as a Huaca Pucllana and Casa Aliaga, and had a photo shoot at night all around the magic water circuit. Dan provided the perfect balance of historical background, cultural interpretation, modern day Peruvian influences, camera tips, and door to door service from one amazing site to the next. We hope to travel with Dan again!

        Dan was an excellent and knowledgeable guide and our day included many diverse parts of the city and some useful photography tips. I dont think we could have fit any more adventure into 7 hours. The Chorillo fish market and pier was a definite highlight.

        I only had 1 day on my trip to Peru in Lima, so I found this tour online with several great reviews and gave Dan a last-minute call to arrange a tour on the same day and I'm so glad I did. I had a private tour with Dan who picked me up from my hostel and showed me all the highlights and plenty of hidden gems around Lima too. The pace was great, not too rushed so I could take my time for good photos, talk to locals and learn more about Lima and Peru. I definitely made the most of my 1 day in Lima and would highly recommend!
