Book Martin Smith for your next photo tour. - Martin was the best. He is friendly, explains things about the camera with clear instructions, and gives advice on how to perform different photo techniques.

Edinburgh Day and Night Photos - We booked the experience, with a view to being able to print off one of our photos to a large print to frame and put up in the house. We both had different experience and knowledge levels. To begin with we sat for a coffee with Martin to have a chat to establish our knowledge and what we wanted to get out of the experience. It was an eye opening and refreshing way of looking at taking a photo. Not just the technical aspects but also the creative aspects and composition. We have both come away with new ideas of what we want to try and do next. Making sure we take loads of photos and make decisions after. Get advise on how to use the cameras to adjust f numbers and shutter speeds. We both loved the night time photography and the light trails.

Night Photography Tour - What a great experience! Martin was an exceptional tour guide who started the tour discussing my goals and expectations. He then took me to a variety of locations and vantage points that I would have struggled to find on my own given my short time in Edinburgh. He was such a gentleman and helped to carry my tripod and camera gear. He provided valuable input on improving my compositions to make my images more impactful. I would highly recommend Martin as a photography guide!

Best tour on my holiday - Martin was a wonderful guide. Because the rest of my group bailed on me, he spent time really helping work out how to get the most out of our time together. I really enjoyed learning from him and my photography really improved. He has a relaxing, cheerful and supportive manner. Best tour on my holiday.

Edinburgh Photography Tour - Martin was very helpful and patient guiding me throughout the tour and providing some essential tips. We spoke about my experience with photography and Martin tailored the tour to match my skills and educated me in the process. I was initially nervous about how this would go, but Martin ensured I could learn and also enjoy the tour, giving me feedback on the pics and making suggestions. Aperture Tours was very hands-on with their communication and follow-ups, asking questions about what I wanted to do. I highly recommend doing this tour irrespective of your photography skills, as Martin is great at offering help/advice.

We had a GREAT day and by the end I was much more comfortable with how to use my camera to get great memories! - Our guide Martin was amazing!!! We didn't know what to expect but had concerns that we would be stuck with an arrogant photographer that just barked out orders and told us what pictures to take. This was absolutely NOT the case. Martin was VERY engaging and very easy to work with! I loved that he started the day with a quick sit down to get to know us and find out what our goals were for the day and what we hope to learn. He made the day very fun and educational! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
