For some people, travel and photography are inseparable. Whether you are an amateur or a professional, our Photo Cultural Tours are designed to accommodate the needs of those who delight in documenting their travels through their lenses. We teamed up with photographer William Neill, who has lent his considerable expertise and travel experience to help design our itineraries to suit photographers; we chase light and plan our activities around optimal conditions for creating the best record of your trip. We have carefully selected photogenic sites and festivals to include into each of our Photo Cultural Tours.
Although their emphasis is on photography, these tours are suitable for any adventurous traveler looking for a vacation that is out of the ordinary. In addition to our photography expert, the tours are also fully escorted by a cultural guide and tour leader.
