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

We did the full day tour, split between morning and evening. Martina was an excellent teacher and adjusted the tuition to suit our interests and abilities, we visited some fascinating spots not normally included on a tour. Recommendations for eating, further sightseeing and great coffee were an added bonus! Our photography and composition skills have definitely improved and we’ve found some less touristy spots in the Gothic Quarter that we’ll be returning to. A great way to explore Barcelona and gather some lasting skills on the way.…

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 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.…

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!…
