About our Photo Tours
Adventures thru the Lens Photo Tours are Urban Adventures. The goal is for travelers to:
• Discover and experience a city through the eyes of a local photographer.
• Encourage the observation of new viewpoints and interesting details which might easily be overlooked.
• To improve photography technique.
• To have a more interesting experience and involvement when visiting a city.
• Have fun
Our Photographer has in-depth local knowledge, a passion for their city and for the art of photography. Photographers are carefully selected for their breadth of style and experience in either travel or photo-documentary/reportage.
So bring your camera and be prepared to walk, shoot and click.
