Highlights
  • Bazzano - Embark on a 5-6 hour photographic journey around the outskirts of Bologna to explore the most picturesque sites and secret spots that only the locals know about, ensuring you capture stunning travel photographs. Your guide will transport you through undulating landscapes, historic hamlets, timeless monasteries, culminating with a serene sunset over the eroded clay hills. This hands-on tour is crafted by a photographer for fellow photography enthusiasts, aiming to uncover the most photogenic locations under optimal lighting conditions: we traverse the countryside and pastoral areas, snapping shots of breathtaking vistas as well as lesser-known treasures, and we wrap up the excursion with a tranquil sunset over the badlands and hills.

  • Photographers seek more than the average tourist experience: they have specific demands for lighting, often favoring the warm glow of the golden hour or the cool shades of the blue hour to enhance their images.

  • Taking great photos takes time, and we’re not rushed; we dedicate as much time as needed at each site until you’re pleased with your shots.

  • We explore off-the-beaten-path destinations that are not readily accessible without a vehicle, offering an authentic local experience.

The ideal time for this tour is in the late afternoon, allowing for the inclusion of a magnificent sunset over the badlands and hills.

Someone with a big passion for photography - I went to Bologna to photograph people in the water, I arrived in Bologna 3 days before the start of work, after getting to know the city I was curious to know the surroundings and the landscapes that characterize this region, I consulted TripAdvisor with the hope of finding a guide with knowledge of the region, I came across the service provided by Francesco, I read and reread and thought, why not someone who loves photography like me and who knows the most beautiful landscapes well. A time was proposed to me, the objective was to provide me with a beautiful sunset if the weather conditions allowed it, I had no availability due to other commitments and I suggested, instead of sunset why not sunrise. To my surprise he accepted. It was a few hours well spent, good company, good conversation and a friend with the same passion. Life has these surprises

A Superb Treat!! - This was a brilliant tour, really well thought out, organised and tailored to suit me! Francesco was great, he was very knowledgable in photography and of the surrounding areas. What a treat my husband and I had. Francesco drove us to fabulous locations and finished the evening off with a locally made sparking wine watching the sunset. (the bonus for me, it was my birthday). Before the trip, Francesco and I had a video call to find out exactly what we wanted to get out of the tour. For my husband and I, it was a birthday gift to me, being the photographer enthusiast and Italian obsessor. So pretty much anything would have been great.... HOWEVER this surpassed all expectations, the amount of details and time management was superb! Not only was Francesco super friendly and easy to talk to, he made us feel as ease whilst passengers in his vehicle. This tour will be suitable for beginners, intermediates and experienced photographers ( and their non photo interested companions. My husband who is not a photographer had a brilliant day). Francesco is a really nice man and I highly recommend this tour! Have FUN!

Great Experience - Our trip to Bologna would not have been as interesting without this tour. Our guide, Francesco was amazing. His knowledge of Bologna and the surrounding areas was impressive and he took us to some amazingly beautiful locations to photograph. This tour was the highlight of our time in Bologna.
