The reviews speak for themselves:

Wonderful Experience. Well worth it. - I was travelling solo, and my daughter had requested selfies. I saw this experience on Trip Advisor, and went for it. I am so glad I did. Chiara has mastered the art of making you feel comfortable and producing excellent photos. She uses both her camera and her iphone. We walked to iconic places, took photos, and after had a coffee before she returned to Palermo. Chiara airdropped the iPhone photos right away, and sent me the link to the camera photos the next day. The price is excellent for the results you get. (Reviewed at: 2024-10-04)
