Patricia has built something really special here with her photo tours. What stands out across every review is her genuine warmth and ability to tailor each experience to her guests' specific needs and skill levels. People consistently mention how she makes them feel like they're exploring with a friend rather than just taking a tour. Her dual expertise in photography and local history creates a rich experience where you're learning composition techniques while discovering hidden spots around the city that you'd never find on your own. The photography instruction itself is surprisingly versatile. Beginners get patient guidance on basic concepts, experienced photographers pick up fresh perspectives on composition and lighting, and everyone seems to leave with new iPhone camera skills they didn't expect to learn. Patricia emphasizes storytelling over simple snapshots, teaching guests how subtle adjustments in framing and light can completely transform an image. Several reviewers mention returning for multiple tours or wishing she offered the same experience in other cities. The tours work beautifully for solo travelers, families, and special occasions, with guests consistently describing the time as well-spent and the results as noticeably improved photos.
It was a great experience, with Patricia providing wonderful tips and ideas on ways to compose a picture and tell the story - not to just document. I would do it all over again to continue learning and understanding better composition and photography.
