My Vintage Photo Tour Review

Published on Sep, 2023

This was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for something to do during the day. This experience is great for families or even going solo. You will see the huge landmarks while getting to capture them on something you can keep forever! Francesco is an amazing tour guide and teacher. He has so much patience and genuinely wants his students to learn.

Worthwhile Polaroid Tour

Published on Sep, 2023

If you want to take home a vintage-styled souvenir, this would be the experience to book! Francesco was patient and helpful throughout the photo tour, gave useful intel on composition. He is very knowledgeable of the scenery and where the best photos can be taken.

Fun and Memorable

Published on Sep, 2023

We had the best time! It had been a long time since we've used Polaroids so it was a fun reminder of how you can be artistic taking pictures and the excitement of it developing and seeing how it came out. Francesco was awesome! Even though it was cloudy he made sure to help us get the best spots with light, he'd give us ideas for shots but also encouraged our own creativity. He's very patient and funny and made the tour just a relaxing and fun experience. And I love how we have 8 little mementos of our time here. So glad I found this tour!

Great guide & unique keepsakes

Published on Aug, 2023

Recommended for both new and experienced photographers! Francesco is a great “camera coach” — generous with his expertise and encouragement — as well as a knowledgeable local guide. I’ve been shooting film for years but don’t know Polaroid very well. Francesco helped us get the best images possible and inspired us with his emphasis on storytelling and creative composition. We will treasure our collection of photos from the tour — what a delight!

Totally worth it!

Published on Aug, 2023

This was one of our most favourite tours we did in Italy. Francesco was very knowledgeable and personable, and we had an awesome time learning about Polaroid while taking in some of the most beautiful sites in Florence. He was super encouraging and supportive, giving us lots of tips on how to shoot the best pictures. We came away with wonderful memories and eight polaroids that represented part of our experience. Francesco and this tour are one of a kind!
