Learn to take quality photos with your phone from a pro! - Leonardo was an excellent guide. He provided historical context to the sites we visited that was much better than other tours I attended. I would highly recommend this tour. I learned several new techniques to improve the use of the camera on my phone to quality photography.

Professional and knowledgeable! 100% recommend - We had the most beautiful couple photoshoot with Charlotte in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. From the very beginning, she made us feel relaxed and comfortable, which made the entire experience so natural and enjoyable. The setting in the Gothic Quarter was absolutely magical — the historic streets, charming alleys, and soft light created the perfect romantic atmosphere. Charlotte knew exactly how to use the architecture and hidden corners to capture timeless and artistic images. What we loved most was how effortless everything felt. She guided us gently while still allowing space for genuine moments between us. The photos truly reflect our connection and the special atmosphere of Barcelona. We couldn’t be happier with the results and will treasure these memories forever. We highly recommend Charlotte to any couple looking for authentic and romantic photos in Barcelona.

A Truly Special Photo Tour of El Born - I’ve been to El Born many times, but this photo tour revealed so many hidden corners I’d never seen before. It’s not overwhelming with history — the focus is on photography (which is my passion) — but along the way, I still learned fascinating things about the area. We visited beautiful, off-the-beaten-path spots like the old post office, far from the usual tourist trail. It felt like exploring with good friends who happen to be incredible photographers and know Barcelona inside out. A wonderful experience I’d recommend to anyone who loves photography and wants to see a different side of Barcelona.

Excellent and different way to explore Barcelona - Highly recommend Take a Photo Walk as a guided walking tour!! I did one with Charlotte (co-founder) for the Gothic Quarter area while in Barcelona for work. Charlotte was knowledgeable about photography and the Barcelona area and history, she was pleasant to walk with, and she was flexible based on what I was looking to achieve in the tour. I only had a few hours and a smartphone but it was so invigorating to talk with Charlotte about new ways of capturing a moment or framing a famous place in an interesting way! And even though I have been taking photos for years, she taught me tips for smartphone photography that I had no idea of, and that I've used multiple times since our photo walk. It's a great idea for a tour walk through Barcelona in a creative and new way.

Leonardo crafted this... - Leonardo crafted this photo walking tour based on his passion for Barcelona history and his creative eye for intriguing photo angles that make your pictures pop. Although I was the lone walker on this extremely sizzling July morning (go figure), Leonardo made every stop interesting with stories, details and historical context and showed me several clever photo tricks that set my pictures apart from regular tourist shots. I highly recommend him for the personal and professional touch he brings to the tour.

Exploring Barcelona at its best! - The photo walk was not touristy at all, but friendly and warm! We explored the 'real' city, where narrow alleys and ancient buildings co-exist with modern achitectural marvels. The hosts were very passionate and welcoming, which added an extra charm to the tour. Overall, I think we will come back for more!

Discovered Barcelona through a new perspective! - The photo walk completely changed how I see the city. Leo, our guide, not only knows the history, but also the lesser-known, real stories that make Barcelona so unique. He pointed out intricate details in buildings and streets, things I would have walked past without a second glance. Leo also helped us improve our photography skills, whether using a professional camera or just a phone. His tips on composition, lighting, and angles were incredibly useful! Leo has a very friendly and accommodating nature. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, whether they were beginners or experienced photographers. It wasn’t just a photo walk, it felt like exploring the city with a friend. If you’re in Barcelona and love photography (or just want to see the city from a fresh perspective), I highly recommend going with team!

Cool shots - It’s an amazing walk, very friendly, you have a little bit of everything. It’s a cool way to get fresh cool shots instead of typical tourist insta-photo while getting to know the heart of the city✨
