Great photography walking tour - highly recommend
Colin was an excellent teacher and he showed me some very useful and interesting tricks. Balmain was a great location to learn photography skills and it was a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

Such a lovely morning!
Colin was an amazing guide and teacher who is incredibly knowledgeable in photography for all phone types. I did the walk with my sister and we both thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much. The little titbits about Balmain's history were great and we got some really good insights and tips on how we can improve our photos. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Mal 🙏🏾 thank you so much for this positive feedback of your experience. We are glad all of you had such a memorable time. Hope to see you again soon ✌🏾 ps now that you’ve got a bunch of tips and ideas, tag (@WeAreObservers) in your Instagram posts so we can see what you’re shooting ☀️

Response from the operator: Hi Anne! Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback 🙏🏾 These workshops are designed for exactly that reason, to make the process of photography an enjoyable experience so you learn it as a consequence of doing it.

Shane :)

Great tips to use my phones camera!
Perfect pace and such a lovely blue sky day. Colin gave us some great tips no matter what the phone. He gave us all little nuggets to go home with. WOW on some of the features I didnt even know I had. Thankyou WAO team for a great experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to write up this feedback about the PhotoWalk. I'm really happy that you've come away inspired.I read the other day that a teachers role is not just to pass on information but to inspire and impact the student so their life is changed. I hope this PhotoWalk will keep inspiring you to see the world for what it really is. Hope to see you again!

Creativity through observation
I joined the walk around Balmain learning how to use my smartphone to take more creative pictures. Colin's instructions were very easy to understand. I learned more about composition, how to take texture, how to use zoom and not use zoom and different ways to use a selfie stick without taking a selfie. Colin showed us how we can make interesting photos using water and out self timer. We are Observer's keep participants to a few which means we received personal attention. I recommend this trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you Kjellery, we are very grateful for this feedback. Thank you for recommending us. We hope to see you again soon! Shane Rozario :)

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phone Photography workshop in Sydney - Explore historic Balmain.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Phone Photography workshop in Sydney - Explore historic Balmain. cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Phone Photography workshop in Sydney - Explore historic Balmain. take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Phone Photography workshop in Sydney - Explore historic Balmain. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Phone Photography workshop in Sydney - Explore historic Balmain.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Phone Photography workshop in Sydney - Explore historic Balmain. suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Phone Photography workshop in Sydney - Explore historic Balmain.?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phone Photography workshop in Sydney - Explore historic Balmain. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
