Photo touring with a friend - I booked 2 photo tours with Iggy. He took me to some popular areas and gave me some uncommon facts and we ventured to some uncommon areas where great photo opportunities was present if you like architectural and unique interest. While walking and talking with Iggy, I felt like I was walking with a friend who's giving me a tour of his new city, while pointing out great photo opportunities.

Best Buenos Aires experience! - We had a wonderful day with Iggy! This was a transformative experience where we learned a lot about photo taking in urban and other settings. We also received loads of information on the major sightseeing spots in Buenos Aires and had a wonderful lunch stop at the San Telmo market. Thank you Iggy!

Great Photo Walk with Iggy! - I had a great time with Iggy, exploring places of Buenos Aires that I would not have found myself and practicing different photo composition tools. He contacted me before to make sure I had all the info I needed and also sent me his presentation afterwards. Have a walk with Iggy!

Very Dissatisfied and Disappointed! - The tour sounded appealing but the tour guide didn’t show up. I later found out from the previous reviews that it seemed to be habitual. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed. I am awaiting for a full refund from TripAdvisor

A still inexplicable disappointment - I waited for 45 minutes at the point of encounter and... nobody turn up for the tour! Including the pro photographer/guide. Nobody answered at the contact telephone number. Nobody contacted me to explain. Real pity. I ended up visiting some of the places by myself. Tripadvisor responded promptly to get me a full refund. The right thing to do.
