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!…

This was a present for my 11 year old son who has recently shown an interest in photography. Mabel was incredibly patient & informative, and really inspired my son. He rated the tour as 10/10 and I can see can't wait to put all he's learnt into practice. Thanks so much Mabel!!!

The light last Saturday morning was perfect for a street photography tour around Poblenou, Gothic Quarter and Parc de la Ciutadella. My experienced guide Mabel coaxed me into framing my architectural shots with more foreground detail, as well as lighting street portraits in a very different way to what I'm used to. I'm delighted by the results and I'm more than happy to recommend Barcelona Photography Tours as a great introduction to a stunning city.…

My husband and I travel often and attempt to capture our memories through photography. We are novice photographers and like to take a photo tour whenever possible with locals who will be able to share the most picturesque parts of a given destination. First, we were extremely please with the price of the private tour for two (given the amount of time - 6 hours) and the ease of making the reservation. On this trip, we connected with Nico who not only showed us very interesting perspectives but really taught us in a way that expanded our ability to use our cameras and capture beautiful images on our own. We spent 6-hrs in the late afternoon and early evening, during which we learned how to use our cameras in manual mode and in darkness without flash. He helped with camera settings and composition. We continued to use these learnings throughout the rest of our stay in Barcelona, on for the remaining of our travels, and ever since. Nico offered to follow me on Instagram, critique my photos, and offer further advise. He also offered his personal email to respond to any questions about Barcelona during our stay. This was by far our favorite experience in Barcelona.…
