I did a 3.5 hour private morning tour with Juan Carlos in early November. Excellent experience. To start, they were very flexible on timing, which was great. They also asked me about my style so they could tailor the tour to me. The tour itself was great, very casual and flexible to allow me the time I wanted at each location. Juan Carlos gave me great feedback as we went on composition, color, light, and camera settings. He also brought his excellent tripod for me to borrow as needed. He brought me to great spots for morning light and people watching, including many I never would have found otherwise. He also gave me a ton of recommendations on things to see and do on my own after the tour. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience for any advanced photographer looking to gain a new perspective on the city. Thanks again Juan Carlos!

I booked this experience as a birthday surprise for my husband, who is a great landscape and nature photographer but had never really ventured into the world of street photography, and it did not disappoint! Mabel was a great teacher, showing us ways to utilize the light and architecture to get the best framing and most interesting perspectives. She also showed us some nifty tricks on our cameras that we had never learned before, so even without the mini tour through Barcelona, it would have been worth the cost to learn how to better use our cameras! Would highly recommend if you're looking for a different kind of experience in such an amazing city. Thank you, Mabel!

We appreciate your comments on your experience with Barcelona Photography Tours. Likewise, we are delighted that your husband enjoyed the tour as a birthday present! The city offers a wonderful mix of architectural and street photography, and we often combine the 2 subjects for contextual backgrounds in fine art street photography. We have recently created a multi-day itinerary that specialises in these 2 subjects. We look forward to reuniting on a future visit to Barcelona! Best wishes,
Laurie

For my first trip to Barcelona, I decided I wanted to do a photography tour and my research led me to the Barcelona Photography Tour website. I booked the 3.5-hour tour and met with Victoria, and it was a great decision. Not only does Victoria know the city, but she guided me through camera settings and angles, told me about the art and history of the architecture, and answered all my questions. It seems Barcelona has it all when it comes to its architecture - gothic, modern, and Roman ruins to name a few - which I wouldn't have been able to appreciate as well without learning about the history behind it. I highly recommend booking a tour with Victoria, you will end up with amazing photos and seeing hidden spots you probably wouldn't think to research and find on your own.

We were in Barcelona at the end of September and the beginning of October. Our group of four friends booked two walking tours-the first day was a morning walk and the second day was an evening walk.
We were led by the very professional and engaging Diego Patitucci both times. Diego knows the city extensively and took us to familiar sights as well as his favorite places that he knew would appeal to avid photographers like us. The Gothic quarter was especially rewarding and we returned to it during our night walk as well.
Diego provided technical tips and advice and background information on the places we went. When it got a little warm he found the perfect places to get refreshed and a bite to eat. He went at our pace and we never felt rushed. We stayed at spots we liked as long as we wanted.
We’ve been on many photography tours and walks and we know what to look for and what we want in a guide. Diego checked all the boxes. When we return, Diego will be our go-to guide. Highly recommended.

Dear friends, thank you so much for your kind words. I am pleased that you had a great tour with Diego in Barcelona! I am sorry I was not there personally, as I would love to reunite with our cameras, but I have full confidence in Diego as a talented, entertaining and personable photo guide. Hopefully our paths will cross in future and we can go out shooting together. Warm regards to all in the group,

I took a 6 hour afternoon/evening tour and a 3 hour photo-editing class with Victoria. First the tour , Victoria took me through several inner quarters of Barcelona which a great overview of the city (eg Raval, Gothic , ) as she explained the history , pointing out specific elements in architecture , along with photography tips and direction . I would recommend doing this early in one's tour to give a chance to go back and see it on your own. I was tired later in the evening and struggled a bit with my technical camera operations as it has been 4 years since I have been photographing. Victoria was very patient and we did the best. I especially enjoyed her excellent photo-editing class for Capture One , it was so systematic and understandable .Her tips and other information was very useful

Fantastic time with such a talented and knowledgeable photographer. Mabel knows the city and knows where to go to get some terrific perspectives and interesting images. Mabel added historical perspective as we walked the old city and took advantage of the scenes that were presented by the people and the so-so weather. I would highly recommend Barcelona Photography Tours. Mable will adjust to your skill level, walking pace, and desire to capture the best of the city. Five stars for sure!

I spend six days with Laurie, both in Barcelona and in the surrounding countryside. He organized things perfectly in segments to capture the light and minimize crowds. We visited all the places on my list, and he showed me many which I would never have discovered by myself. More than simply getting me to the right location at the right time, Laurie gave me invaluable photo advice, and helped me become more self-confident with street photography situations. Beyond that, Laurie is a great guy to spend time with, and I highly recommend him for getting the best possible photos in the Barcelona area.

Thank you for your kind words, and many thanks for choosing to tour with me. Likewise, I very much enjoyed leading you on our photo tour in Barcelona and rural Catalonia. I had a great time! There is nothing in the world more satisfying as wandering with a fellow photography enthusiast around beautiful locations, creating photographic art, while watching my guests improve on their photography skills. Being knowledgeable in various photographic skills and confident in working around your camera, I am glad I was able to convey street photography techniques, and enjoyed watching your confidence improve in capturing candid shots of strangers out on the street. I look forward to reuniting in Israel with our cameras in the near future!
Best wishes, Laurie

Wonderful Barcelona night photography tour with Diego. He was very patient with me in training me to do all manual settings. I had just bought a high end camera and lens, and in the past usually used automatic settings. I learned a lot about setting aperture for depth of field, ISO and shutter speed.
Diego was very flexible to give me time at the places I found more interesting. We even experimented with staged shots using items found in the street which was very fun.
One of the best parts is that he would have me set up a shot the way I saw it and then show me additional options - "What if we viewed it from this angle". All very fun and I learned so much.
Highly recommended for people that want to elevate their photography skills. And I am so excited to now start shooting in manual mode!

I have done this sort of thing in other cities as my photography concentrates on local life. This one did not disappoint! I met Victoria at an easily found location (good communication ahead of time). She asked my interests and away we went. We visited many local neighbourhoods allowing fascinating photography. All the while, she filled me in with all sorts of history and information.
In a city as big as Barcelona I can’t recommend this enough for anyone into photography. I never would have seen all the interesting areas I saw if I hadn’t done this. I did not need instruction but she was more than willing g

I did a 3.5 hour night tour with Mabel and I found her to be an excellent teacher. She really helped me with composition and"seeing the world as the camera does". We tried several different techniques and locations. The tour has boosted my confidence in trying street/city photography and I highly recommend it.

Hi! I'm gonna be in Barcelona on Jun18-19. I'm an amateur in photography, but i'd love to have a small photo tour over the city. This is my first time in the city and it would be really great not to get into big crowds of tourists and to have a morning or evening tour - within the golden hour. Could you please advise if this is possible.. Thank you in advance!!!

#1-I don't know your business e-mail address; #2-We originally discussed a 6 hour (your terms) and that would leave us photographing in the dark at 9:00PM...any chance of going earlier in the day? and #3-I tried to ask this yesterday, it said I could only ask one question daily...why?

I'm definitely interested. It looks like Sunday 1 May 2016 would be the best day for me. I am staying at the NH Barcelona Centro. Please let me know if that date is available and what the next steps are. Also could the guide give me a tentative schedule and recommendation for equipment to bring. Thanks! Harold Troy

We will arrive in Barcelona on Friday 29 April 2016 at the end of a re-positioning cruise. I would like to take a six hour private photo tour with Nico (based on what I've read in your reviews) on either Sat or Sun 30 April or 1 May 2016. I am an Architect and when I was in college I didn't have much use for Gaudi UNTIL I had the opportunity to experience La Sagrada Familia the last time I was in Barcelona and was "blown away" by the experience. Since that time I vowed that I would return and spend a day photographing the interior of the facility. To that end I would like to spend as much time doing just that (at lease four hours). Would that be possible and what would be the cost for such an opportunity? I anxiously await your reply. Thanks! HET

Dear Harold,
Thank you for your interest in Barcelona Photography Tours and for getting in contact.
Yes, we would be delighted to accommodate you. April is our busiest month, so booking ahead is recommended. Nicolas is currently available, as is Lorenzo - our architectural photographer. Both are talented photographers and exceptional guides.
The Sagrada Familia is one of the most amazing architectural structures in the world, and is definately worth exploring, though I think 3 hours would be sufficient for this one building. We can organize "skip the queue tickets" on request. It is recommended to visit in the afternoon to shoot the outside at the Passion Facade. The warm light hits it at the right angle. I would also recommend the optional ride up the lift to shoot down and capture the amazing details of the towers. Finally, towards the end of the tour (sunlight permitting), the sun entering through the stained glass is exceptional.
3 hours at this building would also allow time to visit the nearby Hospital de San Pau (built by Dominich I Muntaner), one of the most beautiful Modernist buildings in Spain. Barcelona has 9 World Heritage Sites (the most in Europe). As I am sure you are aware, 1 or 2 days is not enough to capture the city, however I would recommend shooting 3 sites in a 6 hour tour.
The price of our 6 hour itineraries is 300.00 Euros for a private tour. The cost does not include entrance fees for our guests or the guide. Itineraries can be customized to your shooting style, preferred subjects and skill level.
Please feel free to get in contact through our website for further information.
We look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes,
Laurie

Hi,
I would like to have more information about the course. My mom and sister are in Barcelona until 22/03 and I would like to give my sister a present and I believe that the photography tour is a good one.
How long does it takes? Do they need to walk too much? Because my mom has a bad knee and cannot walk long distances.
Also, I would like to know about the price.
Kind regards,
Cibele
