Rome Photo Fun Tours’ priority is always Quality over quantity! That’s why this UNIQUE private and exclusive 4 hours Street Photography tour has been designed for two people max (unless you'll book as a family or a group of friends). Walking through old neighborhoods, morning markets, Trastevere narrow streets, and old squares, you'll capture Roman life as it unfolds. You'll be shooting the eternal city waking up, old women opening windows to the new day, nuns and priests going to the Vatican City, street artists performing downtown, while artisans still handwork marble, wood or gold to create their beauties. Shooting all this, professionally guided by my experience and deep local knowledge of Rome, will make your street photography tour an unforgettable experience. Street photography is challenging, but if you enjoy putting your skills on the line to capture life in the making, this is one of the most rewarding tours you can have, the one that will make you really feel the essence of Rome! A free photo review can also be provided upon request. Why is this the best street photography workshop in Rome? Check our photos and reviews, and I guarantee you'll look no further.
