Photo Trips · PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS IN ROME
Good photography tours in Rome fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 8 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride as a passenger with a professional Vespa driver through Rome’s historic center. You’ll stop at the Colosseum, Orange Garden, Acqua Paola Fountain, and Janiculum Hill, with photos taken along the way. English and Turkish guides lead small groups of up to 10.
“We loved our Vespa tour through Rome!!! Lived out our Lizzie McGuire dreams! They did a great job:)”
Meet your driver at a city-center hotel or convenient meeting point, then see Rome from the back of a Vespa. Guides such as Eric, Leo, and Elmar lead you past the Colosseum, Orange Garden, Trastevere, and Janiculum Hill, while taking photos along the way.
“Amazing!!! The Vespa tour was my favorite part of Rome. Highly Recommend!!!”
Join professional photographer Marco for a 4.5-hour evening workshop through Rome. You will photograph the Colosseum, St. Peter’s, Castel Sant’Angelo, the Forums, and more, with hands-on coaching for cameras and phones. A non-photographer friend joins free, and hotel drop-off is included.
“What a magical evening seeing Rome both lit up and in shadows. Marco did an excellent job helping me get the best photos from my iPhone (I didn’t know that it had this capability). Marco knew all the spots to get the most interesting photos and provided the coaching to capture magnificent photos. He also offered thoughtful dialogue and historical context. Please note this is primarily a walking tour so you also can take in the sights, sounds, and aromas from local shops and outdoor venues. Highly recommend!”

“I give this 20 out of 5 stars! Do not walk - RUN and book this tour. You will learn so much about Rome and photography. Worth every penny! Enjoy!”

“Giulio is very knowledgeable of rome, he took me to spots I would never find on my own! It’s not just sightseeing, even though we were in the classic touristic parts of rome he showed me the hidden paths to make the most of the experience and where to get the shots I wanted .

“Dear all, I booked this tour with Vahid for my daughters 24. birthday on her first day in town as a surprise, because she travelled with her boyfriend to Rome. Before, inbetween and afterwards Vahid was always so so helpful and easy, always quick answers! The flight was delayed-no prob', he just changed times. My daughter was so over the moon after the tour and said (like all reviews here) that it was amazing, the best what she could imagine for her first day, the route was so nice and that Vahid was such a superbe guide. And I got a picture from the tour from Vahid!! So I was…”
