Great photographic experience!
Emanuele was fantastic! An experienced photographer and Roman local his whole life, he was a treasure trove of fantastic places and techniques a little out of the standard box. He was able to offer insights about my photography and I am sure he has improved my skills. Highly recommended!

Fantastic photographic experience
Emanuelle was a wonderful guide with excellent knowledge of photography. I learned a lot about exposure techniques such as bracketing and exposing to the right. We photographed many of Rome's iconic landmarks in the evening light. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that our team provided such valuable instruction on exposure techniques and that you enjoyed capturing Rome's iconic landmarks in the evening light. We truly appreciate your high recommendation.

Nothing but First Class
Emmanuele was an excellent Photographer,we clicked right away.Meeting location was spot on, prompt meet up.This was by far the Best experience in my 20 days in Italy.His experience navigating and picking out locations to shoot was second to none.In our conversations he was able to communicate effectively and greatly aided my technique.I would do it again in Rome with Emanuele.If fact my experience was so good I will do another tour in other Cities in the future.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the incredible review! We cannot wait to welcome you back for another tour in Rome or another city in the future!

This photo masterclass far exceeded my expectations.
I can't say enough about this photo masterclass. Our instructor was not only extremely knowledgeable about technical photography but was a true artistic genius at composition and street photo techniques. I honestly learned more in this two hour class then in 20 years of photo experience and camera shop classes. I highly recommend this.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a phenomenal review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that our team's expertise in composition and technique helped you learn more in two hours than in 20 years of experience. We truly appreciate the high recommendation!

Perfect Way to Take Memorable Photos from Local Expert
My guide, Emanuele, was phenomenal! For nearly six hours we traversed the length of the Centro Storico and Colosseo area, talking and taking great photos along the way. As a local, he knew the perfect locations to get shots that easily rose above the standard tourist photos. He was also a great instructor, helping me every step of the way to improve my shooting skills. This was my second Aperture tour and I can't wait to take my next one.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the phenomenal review and for choosing us for your second tour! We are thrilled our team could share those local, elevated spots and help you improve your skills over such an immersive day. We can't wait to welcome you back for the next one!

Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson 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 Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson 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 Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 75 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson?
+
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 Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 13. 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 Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson?
+
Around 26 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 Rome 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 Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson 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 Rome 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 Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. 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 Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. 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 Rome?
+
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.
What is included in Rome Photography Masterclass - Private Photography Lesson?
+
Included: Private tour; Photography Professional Guide; and Local Guide. Not included: Tripod available upon request; Transportation to/from attractions; Gratuities; and Camera. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
We will meet you at the Colosseum. Because the area can be quite busy at times, we will specifically meet you at the Fontana del Colosseo, the old Colosseum Fountain on Piazza del Colosseo, next to the metro station. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
