A beautiful way to start your day in Athens - This stunning view and the photography pearls were well worth the effort of waking up early for this sunrise tour. Vasilis is both very likeable and quite knowledgeable. He assessed my skill level and equipment and tailored the content accordingly. He also kindly provided coffee and helped me get to to my next tour. Attached are some iphone shots as I have not yet edited the dslr images. Just do yourself a favor and take this tour. It is a very beautiful way to start a morning in Athens.

Must do, amazing guide, place, experience! - The Athens sunrise photo tour was an amazing and unique experience that I will never forget. Vasilis is an Athens-born professional photographer with over 30 years of experience and with an incredible love and knowledge of the city. This was a private tour, and felt like a stroll with an old friend. He will meet you where your photography level is. The spot for the tour is incredible, with sweeping views of the entire Acropolis hill, Acropolis museum, and the city below. The sun rises to the right. We started well before the sunrise, and he constantly gave tips on framing, technical aspects, and timing. He made sure we made efficient use of time, since the light changes so fast with as the sun rises. He also gave suggestions on other places to go to photograph Athens and surrounding areas, and even brought breakfast! I came out with amazing pictures, new learnings, and a new friend. I wish every travel destination had a Vasilis. Now stop reading and book a tour! It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Greece.

The Best Photo Tour in Athens - Vasilis was a patient, knowledgeable instructor who is passionate about photography. This is infectious and has inspired me to take my photography to the next level of creativity. This was a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget . I was pushed out of my comfort level and lived every minute of this experience. Definitely book a tour with Vasilis if you are looking to be inspired!

Amazing Sunrise Photo Tour - Photographing the sunrise over Athens was on my bucket list, and the highlight of my time in Athens was the Sunrise Photo Tour with Vasilis. Vasilis is such a passionate photographer, guide, and instructor, and his enthusiasm is infectious. Throughout our session, Vasilis made outstanding recommendations on composition and settings that I would not have thought of on my own, resulting in a diverse and outstanding set of sunrise photos over Athens. Vasilis also knows Athens inside and out, so he knows where to go for outstanding shots, and was great about putting Athens and our shooting location into context for me. Beyond getting great pictures, Vasilis made watching the sunrise over Athens an amazing experience. I highly recommend booking a tour or session with him while you are in Athens.

A fantastic morning! - Vasilis was excellent! Even though I’m a local, and been in that spot before, Vasilis made me see it with brand new eyes like it was the first time I visited. As a photography enthusiast, I decided to take this tour to elevate my photographic knowledge. I was totally happy with Vasilis, got away with spectacular photos and enjoy this morning very much. Thank you Vasilis!

AMAZING PHOTOS! - If you are looking for a professional photographer to do a photo walk in Athens, Photo Walks Athens is a great choice. Vasilis led me on a sunrise tour one day and a sunset tour of the city on a different day. His knowledge of Athens is vast. He was really helpful with the techniques of photography. I was able to get awesome photos of the Acropolis from vantage points I would never have been able to find on my own. It was time and money well spent.
