Cannot recommend Doc highly enough - Without a doubt the highlight of many highlights we had in San Francisco. I booked the sunrise tour with Doc and he took me to various excellent vantage points across the city, which as a tourist are not normally accessible or known. In addition to his considerable professional photographic experience Doc is also a very accomplished tour guide and provided a running commentary on the journey between sites. I managed to get the holy grail shot of the fog at the Golden Gate bridge as well as numerous other once-in-a-lifetime images. Will definitely book again and hopefully to one of his astronomy workshops. Thanks Doc.

Wonderful photo tour - Doc picks you up in a roomy and clean Land Rover. He takes you to excellent sites for some night photography before the sunrise and then places for great shots of the city as the rising sun makes it glow. His knowledge of the city is excellent. He is a skilled photographer available for suggestions on technique or settings. Will hire him again on return to the city. Highly recommend his tours.

Highly recommend Doc Miles Photo Tours - I recently traveled to San Fran and booked the Sunset Tour with Doc Miles. Unfortunately while traveling that day, I noticed the weather forecast was very bad and I contacted Doc. He quickly responded and we rescheduled for a Sunrise Tour on a different day. Doc took me to some great places and provided advice on proper camera settings along with how he would frame the picture. The results were outstanding. At a few of the stops, I took several different shots from a few different locations. Doc was extremely patient and made sure I was ready to leave before we moved to the next location. I plan to professionally print a couple of the photos to hang in our house. I wished my schedule would have allowed another tour with Doc and I will definitely book with him again the next time I am in San Fran. I would estimate my skill level to be novice/intermediate.

Terrific experience - Doc’s a great guy. Enjoyed every minute of the tour! The Sun refused to come out but there’s very little one can do about it, other than making the most out of the experience!!

amazing - I was looking on the internet for the list of the best view points to take pictures of San Fransisco. I came found the Doc miles photography tour website... luck is really good things because this tour exceeded all my hopes. The tour is fantastic, Doc is extremely professional and considerate. He knows how to take his time, give advice and adapt the tour to the specific requests of each. Incidentally it provides a super tripods. The next time I go to San Fransisco, I will return with him for a "sunset" tour !!! Thank you very much Doc!

No guide show up - The tour had been confirmed for over a month and also reconfirmed two days prior to start, but no guide show up. Went up 03:35 AM for nothing. But Viator support was very helpful and I had the money back on my credit card already they day after. A bit sad though. Not heard a word from the tour operator...
