"We had a wonderful time with Carlos. Not only did he provide some great photography tips and picturesque locations, he also shared a lot of
interesting facts about Aflama. Additionally, we had some laughs together and stopped for a quick shot of Ginjinha with chocolate. We look forward
to another tour with Carlos during our next visit!"

"Met Carlos on 9/11 in the Alfama area of Lisbon. We walked and explored quaint little streets and and neighborhoods. Carlos was always pointing
out interesting things to photograph. We also got very close to the colorful tram cars, so much fun and challenge to capture a nice image of them.
Carlos was fun and engaging to spend a few hours with, He gave me a good start to my photography adventure in Portugal. At the end of the tour he
took me to a shop where we enjoyed some Ginga, the Cherry Liquor! I highly recommend meeting with Carlos if you want to learn about great photo
opportunities in Lisbon!"

"I clearly recommend Carlos. This is the best airbnb XP I've done so far. He's super nice, and basically it was all a good mix in between
discovering new places but also traditional liquor and relevant stories. Lisbon is his town and he knows it perfectly. He also accepted to take
some pics of me even though it was not planned. In brief he's super nice and I recommend!"

"Carlos was wonderful. We toured Alfama and I would've never found my way to the places that he showed me. He talked about the history and culture
of the neighborhood and was patience with me as I walk with a cane. I captured many wonderful photos of the tour and as a bonus we had Ginjinha in
a very small shop run by a local woman. I highly suggest this tour whether you are just looking to explore or also to capture an beautiful area of
Lisbon with a camera."

"I had an amazing morning with Carlos, discussing about the history of Lisbon and going to the back lanes of Alfama area, areas that I would not
have discovered on my own. He gave many useful tips on photography - angle, lighting, framing etc. It was a very enjoyable walk and a good
learning experience on photography. Really recommended!"

"Carlos was an excellent guide to both Lisbon and the best way to capture the highlights of the city on camera. He knew the best spots for the
lighting at different times of the day and had great pointers (e.g., "try a shot where you angle your camera to run the railing up to the door" or
"look at the alignment of the steps to the shadows," or "align the Vespa, the tree, and the street light" etc.) to create perfect shots. In
addition to the technical photography pointers, he also gave an in-depth background of the Alfama neighborhood. I highly recommend a Lisbon tour
with Carlos. Whether working with a smartphone or with top-of-the-line photo equipment, you can leave with breathtakingly stunning photos."

"I scheduled this tour for the second day of my Lisbon trip, and I'm so glad that I did! Carlos, being a local, told me very interesting
historical and some personal stories about the city and the area. Carlos asked me about my experience with photography and my interest to cater as
much as possible to what I wanted to take pictures of. His attention to detail made me appreciate photography more and helped me improve my
photos. I started with my Nikon J1 but mostly took pictures with my phone. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in improving their
photography skills regardless of their previous experience or the equipment while getting interesting stories about Lisbon!"

"I had an excellent day with Carlos, walking around Lisbon taking photos. While I consider myself a good photographer, Carlos really helped me
with my composition. Also, I felt comfortable bringing along my new travel tripod and taking some low light shots using the tripod. Carlos is very
friendly and responsive, he listens to what I was trying to achieve and learn, and he structured the tour around my needs. I never felt rushed to
move on to the next location. If you are serious about taking better pictures, invest in your hobby by getting coached by a professional like
Carlos. Well worth the money."

Carlos was really friendly and chatty, and took time to show us the best spots. As a keen amateur photographer it was great to get his insight
into how he frames photos and some tips and tricks for getting the shot right. Would highly recommend!!"

the sights and told stories about this beautiful historic area. He took us to spots to get the best pics and was full of informative tips to get
more creative and effective photos. We may be a little late with our review, but the memories of our tour and the pics we have since printed are a
pleasant reminder of the fun we had. Our favourite day in Lisbon !"

usually seen by the general touring public. He also offer suggestions on where to take pictures, how to take them, the perfect angle to get the
best picture etc. My tour last 3 hours and it was a please to be with out guide, he was personable, warm and a very nice person. I highly
recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the Old Town of Lisbon."

lit of advice in general use of a camera (I usually only shoot in auto mode), he painted out little details to add in the photos and je also has a
local knowledge being a native, so it was also like a guided tour. After the tour he messaged me more advice on spots to visit. I can definately
recommend his tour, Thank you Carlos!"

"This tour exceeded my expectations! Carlos is awesome! This is more than just taking pictures. Carlos will lead you through Alfama while sharing
it's rich history and culture. He has a well prepared plan for traveling to scenic and unique locations for creative images. He shares his
creative process to help you take advantage of the situation for composition, lighting, etc. Carlos speaks English very well and his instruction
is top notch. This activity is for: 1. the beginner or hobbyist who wants to spend time with a professional photographer to gain valuable insight
to inject momentum into their photography journey 2. the casual tourist who wants to have some photographs that they will be excited to share with
friends and family 3. the seasoned photographer or professional who wants the ideal locations from a knowledgeable professional. This is a good
value. I highly recommend this tour."

do anything at all. We soon decided to make the best of it and looked up Carlos. He was available last minute and took pictures and gave us a tour
of Lisbon with 2 hour notice. He was the saving grace of our Lisbon experience. He even tried to help us find our phone after we departed
Portugal. He is a wonderful person. Thank you Carlos for Everything!!"

"If you want to be in the right place at the right time to take beautiful photos of Alfama, look no further than this experience with Carlos. He's
a professional photographer and has mapped out a precise route that will take you through some of the most picturesque areas of this beautiful,
ancient neighborhood so that you will arrive at each place at the moment the light is at its best. Carlos is helpful, knowledgable and a lot of
fun to hang out with. On my next trip to Lisbon, I'll definitely book this experience again. It was time very well spent and a really good time
too ... Thank you Carlos!"

"Carlos provided my interested 11 yr old son with much more than the mechanics of how to or where to shot from - he gave him age and person
appropriate challenges and met my son exactly where he was in terms of interest and growth. Quite quickly into the time together Carlos felt like
a friend helping out than a guide but the whole time - at every moment - he was consistently working at ensuring my son got all that he could in
terms of photography and my son really appreciated Carlos as did I. At the end he continued to support our interest in taking in a Fado show and
we just couldn’t have been happier to meet and learn with Carlos. It was a wonderful experience and he made Lisbon feel like a wonderful place to
us - even after a stressful day of very nearly being pickpocketed on the 28 tram. The day really turned around in the company and fabulous focus
with Carlos. Highly recommend!"

"I enjoyed our photo walk very much! It was great to visit some mainly known attractions, be guided through not so touristic paths of Lisbon and
get privy in some of Carlos' "sweet spots". In his unobtrusive manner, he shared his experience regarding both: technical and creative aspects of
photography. I'm actually a hobby photographer and not a beginner, but I still got many valuable tips and inspirations from Carlos. I can just
recommend this tour."

He will take you on a journey through the neighbourhoods surrounding the castle and churches, through the narrow streets of Alfama you'll see from
perspectives you might not have noticed yourself. 5/5 stars!!"

do something like this ourselves would've taken us all day, but Carlos made it so easy and fun. Easy to meet up and he even ended our tour in an
area we wanted to visit anyways, so it made our day that much easier. Definitely book with Carlos for a great timein Lisbon!"

Carlos took us to many interesting and cool spots that you wouldn't know about and it made the long walk up and down the hills more pleasant. He
also took the time to check in to make sure that we were ok. I would totally recommend this photo walk and we only had a smartphone. Thank you
