A different and delightful perspective - A delightful tour through many features of the West End. Some photos were of typical tourist sites but many creative and unusual shots that most tourists wouldn’t notice or think about. Mike provided lots of gentle advice and encouragement on using the camera to make the most of the opportunities! A wonderful experience with terrific photos to take away.

Photography experience in London - Mike my guide was amazing, on time, organized and his history of the places we visited was second to non. A real personable gentleman, who offered advice and taught me some new techniques. I felt that I had known him all my life. Thanks Mike.

Photogenic West End - Photo tours are a great way to see a slice of local culture and this tour was no exception. The host was on time and brought the group through a variety of local attractions. There are many good photo ops on the tour. Additionally, the host showed us a variety of techniques to liven up even the most ordinary subject. He was accommodating and instructive. I highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommend - The photography tour with Mike was excellent! Highly recommend. Mike is personable, interested and knowledgeable. I’m a photography novice and enjoyed learning techniques and hearing about the history and really seeing places in London I thought I knew - now I truly see them. My daughter knows about photography and enjoyed sharing ideas and getting to know the city. Thank you, Mike, for a really great tour! Even when the heavens opened you had fantastic ideas and we really felt that it was a wonderful experience, whatever the weather 🙂
