That’s precisely why we’ve crafted this DISTINCTIVE private and exclusive 4-hour Street Photography tour for a maximum of two participants (unless booked by a family or a group of companions).

You’ll capture scenes of the city stirring to life, elderly ladies greeting the morning, clergy on their way to Vatican City, street performers in the city center, and craftsmen meticulously shaping marble, wood, or gold into exquisite works.

Fantastic Start to a visit to Rome - What a fantastic way to spend my first morning in Rome! Giulio from romephotofuntours was fantastic on all fronts! Giulio asked me at the beginning of my tour what I was looking for and I specifically asked for a few things: interesting photo opportunities, photo instruction and critical feedback on my photos, and to learn about Rome from a Roman. I received all plus more and it was all blended in a positive and fun way. I learned so much about Rome and photography while getting some great photos along the way. I really liked how I was instructed and the suggestions while still having the opportunity to do things in my style. That was a great learning opportunity for me to compare and contrast what I was learning right there and later in post-production. I was very glad I booked with Giulio from romephotofuntours. Thanks Giulio, I will see you the next time I am in Italy.

Rome photography - It was an unforgettable experience which allowed us to discover a part of Rome differently while learning the basics of photography. Thanks to these valuable tips, we took superb photos. He is someone who is passionate and who adapts to our needs, in any case providing the most satisfactory response as possible. These valuable tips help me improve my technique to take excellent shots or those close to them. I highly recommend it.

Rome Street Photography - Giulio was just fantastic. I wanted to maximize my short time in Rome and have someone to guide me through the key spots and some of the less known streets and locations. We spent 6hrs starting at 5am hitting a few popular sites to get clear shots without the crowds. We then walked the streets and was grateful to receive Giulio’s expert guidance on techniques to capture difficult street shots. He helped me fine tune my settings for multiple scenarios and opened my mind to a different attitude for my photography. Giulio is an expert photographer and it’s clear that he appreciates and studies the expression of people and life. You’ll only be rewarded for selecting Giulio as your guide if you’re visiting Rome, Tuscany, or other areas of Italy.

A Fantastic Way to Spend 4 Hours - I highly recommend the private street photography tour with Giulio. He took me to some out of the way places as well as to the classic sights. Giulio is extremely personable and knowledgable about all things photography. Our 4 hours together passed very quickly and as well as showing me the best locations to photograph, he also showed me where to get the best coffee.

A perfect tour to see not only the big sites But also the amazing secrets of this wonderful city! - After two magnificent tours („Unique Rome Photo Tour from dusk to Dawn“ and „Rome, Churches, Angels & Art Photo Tour“) with Giulio I decided to book a third tour as I spent quite a long time in Rome. So I asked him for a suggestion and it was he „Rome by Day, Street Photography Tour“ he suggested. When I heard it I was at first asking myself - can I do it? Are my abilities good enough? Giulio was very motivating and could convince me to try it. And now I can say 100 % it was the right decision. After each tour I was wondering if the next tour can be better or at least reach the same level tike the recent one. And YES, it is possible. As all my tours were so different it is difficult or even impossible to say which one was the best. Each single tour was on its own way much more than I expected - simply perfect. So concerning this tour Giulio was again a perfect teacher, very patient, good in explaining even details and here especially motivating. He knows his hometown so well that he can show so many small gems, extraordinary places and knows stories about them so that not even a single question remained unanswered. Due to rain he suggested to postbone the tour for two hours which I gratefully accepted. Punctually we met at the time which we agreed on. As I wrote already in my recent reviews I strongly recommend to book a tour (or more like me) with Giulio to everyone who is interested in Rome and in taking photos. You surely won‘t be disappointed and you can spend a couple of hours with a great person and teacher as well as with a great photographer. So to come to an end - Giulio, once again mille grazie!!!

A tour for all - This tour was fantastic for many reasons. It satisfied everyone’s needs! Everyone in your group doesn’t have to be a photographer, this tour offers something for everyone! Giulio is an amazing photographer who was so very helpful in providing useful photography tips. He also took several photos of our family so now we have more then just selfies! Giulio is a wealth of information. He took us to several locations and beautiful neighborhoods. He provided us with a lot of Roman history along the way! He also selected a wonderful restaurant where the locals eat! The tour was superb. It’s a great way to see Roma with a local!

Rome + Street photography = fun photo tour! - I booked the toor a few days before my visit to Rome. Guilio took his time to understand my needs and interests and recommended a version of the tour better suited for me. The tour itself gave me an excuse to bring along my better (and much heavier) camera which begged to be put to use. We started early on on Saturday morning before the heat and tourist waves hit the streets. Giulio is an expert in a labyrinth of Rome streets and took me to places I would hardly go by myself, giving thoughtful advise and hints along the way. He has a 360-degrees view and notices people and things worth photographing. He was happy to move distractions and pretend to be a subject of photo shoot to give an excuse to shoot someone else, was helping to find the best spot for a rustic bike we found along the way, He also discussed a lot of details very useful in street photography. Although we were walking 4 hours straight without rest we had a lot of energy left, so we extended the tour for another hour which gave me a chance to explore more of Rome. We even managed to get in a small private courtyard that even Giulio wasn't able to get into before! Overall this was a great experience. I am used to photographing city streets, but doing this in a company of an expert street photography is just another experience - not only Giulio knew the city and shared his knowledge but he provided inspiration!

Join Giulio For a Very Satisfying, Soul-Touching Tour of The Eternal City! - Reviewed today "It's the little things, the tiny details, the improbable awesomeness of every, little, damn, thing" -- Anthony Bourdain (on Rome) We have been living and working in the great city of Rome for over two years but will be packing out soon. Our heavy hearts are trying to savor every last moment in the Eternal City. We stumbled upon Mr. Giulio D'Ercole's Rome Photo Fun Tours by happy accident and immediately signed up for his Street Photography Tour. I have a decent beginner's camera but I have always felt self-conscious about taking photos of street life so it has essentially been gathering dust. Giulio coaxed me out of my apprehension almost immediately! We started early in order to capture Roman citizens beginning their day in the warm light of this magnificent city. Every corner revealed a magical element that we seemed to have completely missed during our time here. Giulio is a master photographer with both an artist's and a cinematographer's eye. He is also a proud Roman citizen and possesses a deep appreciation for the city and its history. We learned so much about photography AND history during our 4 hour session. Do not hesitate to sign up for one of Giulio's tours -- he keeps the group number extremely small. The tour was pure value for money in a city often short on quality bargains! I only wished I would have taken this tour two years ago when we first arrived! You will finish your tour spent (we logged in over 10,000 steps), satisfied, and full of memories (and photos! Take a look at few of mine below!) Sincerely, Michael and Dora Rome
