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!

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!

Francesco was such a fantastic tour guide and was incredibly helpful with all questions I had about exploring Florence and polaroid photography. He explained all of the aspects of using a polaroid camera really well and showed me a lot of obscure things I would never have thought about which could affect the final photo. He is really knowledgeable about photography and has inspired me to continue doing photography after doing the tour with him! I'll always be super grateful to Francesco for inspiring me and teaching me so much in this tour! He is really friendly and it was such a great time walking around with him and exploring Florence, I highly recommend this tour!
