Overview

Rome Photo Fun Tours’ motto is Quality over quantity! That’s why this 4-hour Photo Tour has been designed for two people max (unless you book as a group).
With this hands-on workshop, meticulously planned by Roman photographer Giulio D’Ercole, you will go through the best scenic itinerary of Rome, guided by a professional whose aim is to provide you with a unique, fun, learning experience. Along the tour, you'll take memorable shots of famous squares, ancient ruins, gorgeous monuments, and charming backstreets to be shared with your loved ones and on your social media.
Giulio will share all the technicalities needed to improve your skills, including the art of photo Storytelling.

Check our photos and reviews and you will look no further.

If this tour is not available on the date you want to book it, it is because I will be on one of my 7-day photography workshops in Tuscany, Umbria, Apulia, or Rome and surrounding areas, offered with Italy Photo Fun Tours.

Giulio was a wonderful guide, for both photography and Italian culture. As an American I appreciated his cultural insight. His knowledge of the area and its details was impressive. A kind and patient person to spend a few hours with. He adjusts to the skill level of the participant(s) and I recommend his tour for a novice or an expert and all in between. His communication after booking and before the event was perfect.

Our photography tour with Giulio was wonderful! The 4 hours flew past despite rather wet weather. Giulio took us to a variety of places in Central Rome, some iconic Roman sights, some lesser known spots. Giulio provided invaluable advice on shooting settings, angles and general advice on photography techniques. Whilst I usually rely on shooting in "p", Giulio helped me to use the manual settings, with very pleasing results. My husband accompanied us as a non photographer and was entertained throughout by Giulio's historic and social commentary en route. We hope to do another tour, either in Rome or further afield, with Giulio next year. Highly recommended.

I spent 10 wonderful days in Rome seeing the ruins and museums and taking in the scene. I did a lot of fun things, but hands down, the BEST experience was the photo tour I took with Giulio. He met me promptly at the designated time and instantly put me at ease. He’s a smart, funny, affable guy who really knows his way around photography. From the beginning, he helped identify great shots and worked on composition with me. I used my iPhone 14 Pro Max and am thrilled with the results. I can tell a noticeable difference between the photos I took pre-tour from those during and after. But you’re not just getting expert photography help. Giulio was the best tour guide among the several I hired during my trip. His deep knowledge of all eras of Roman history will impress and enlighten you. And his easy conversational style, excellent English and sense of humor were the icing on the cake. I don’t usually gush in reviews, but I’m gushing now. Do yourself a favor and book one (or more!) of Giulio’s tours - it’s worth every euro and then some. You will not regret it!

Giulio is the best! We had such a wonderful time on his photo tour. He made things fun and memorable, plus I learned some great photography tips! He speaks perfect English so there was no language problem at all. I highly recommend him and will definitely book another tour if/when I return to Italy. Grazie mille, Giulio!

Giulio is very knowledgeable of rome, he took me to spots I would never find on my own! It’s not just sightseeing, even though we were in the classic touristic parts of rome he showed me the hidden paths to make the most of the experience and where to get the shots I wanted . I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
