We spent a wonderful morning touring beautiful Bruges with Andy. He gave us a lot of information about Bruges, it's history and the way of life for the locals. He showed us a good cross-section of the city, from the canals, to architecture, to some quiet streets with little details that I would not have noticed As two enthusiastic photographers he spent time encouraging us to try some different compositions and spending time showing us some tips and tricks. Andy has real passion and energy for his work and it shows. I would really recommend a tour with Andy.

I was fortunate to spend a few hours with Andy checking out some of the less-visited places in Bruge a couple of days ago. What I valued most was learning how to make the most of a photo shoot location from all aspects, as well as technical tips and cool history facts. If you like taking photos and wish to see Bruge and improve your street photo technique, I would highly recommend this tour.

Andy McSweeney picked me up at the collection point. He informed me of how the tour would look like and he showed me the locations which were interesting to take photo's from. Also showing the examples from his tablet, to see the variety . There was plenty of room for questions and ideas. The passionate Andy,also told me a lot about the history of Brugge as well, which I found a bonus. Andy is guy who is really passionate about his photography as well as a person who is easy to approach and very likeable. All in all, had a nice photo tour in Brugge, with future (photo) visits for sure !

I was the only one who showed up for the tour, but Andy still ran it just for me, which was awesome! He was super nice and really knowledgeable about Bruges, sharing interesting facts about the city while taking me to some incredible spots. His tips on using my camera were super helpful, and I learned a ton. I came away with some great photos. Highly recommend if you want to improve your photography and explore Bruges from a unique perspective!

I had a great time with Andy on this photo tour of Bruges. Andy is friendly, personable, and gave me so many tips to improve my photography skills. I felt comfortable asking him questions about photography and about the city. He was patient and gave me time to practice taking pictures of the city. He also showed me different methods and settings to improve the pictures taken from my phone. I appreciated that he took me to very scenic and less crowded, less-touristy areas outside of the city center. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to have fun, learn about photography, and take beautiful photographs of Bruges!

Our tour guide was excellent. Gave lots of advice and knew all the good places. It was like touring with a friend. He pointed out multiple points of interest we would never have spotted and helped out with photo tips. Would highly recommend and hope to do another tour if I return.

As a semi-pro photographer, I questioned whether I needed to do a tour in a city like Bruges, but after corresponding with Andy, I decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did. From the start, he was very prompt in responses and my questions. I ended up doing the private Edges of Brugge, which is the one I'd recommend as it gets you away from the busiest canals of the city center. What I always like about a good, well-organized photo tour is that they're such an efficient way of maximizing your chances to get good shots. A place like Bruges that is fairly small and beautiful everywhere might seem super easy photograph well, but its sometimes hard to get unique shots that don't look like the same ones most others get. Andy was great about getting me to spots that had unique compositional opportunities and the potential for things to develop, like places where a boat could come through a great spot of the frame and add another dimension to it. I also appreciated that it was a good cross-section of the city, from the canals, to architecture, to some quiet streets, to little details that I would probably not have noticed. He also encouraged me to try some different compositions that I wouldn't have normally, and I ended up with some unique angles that showed the streets and buildings from a perspective I wouldn't usually think to try. Andy has real passion and energy for this work and it shows. One tip I would give is that the private tour is very reasonably-priced and the way to go. You can have a flexible start time and I'd suggest starting early, like maybe 8-9 am or so, so you can get out ahead of the boats and crowds. It's much quieter and you can get some great reflections in the water as it's very still before the boats start out. Really great experience all the way!

I booked the tour for a friend and myself. We both like to take photos but are anything else than experienced! :) So we thought, maybe we learn something new and see spots we would not discover on our own. And our expectation got exciedet by miles!!! Not only was Andy our guide an absolut pro behind the camera but as well super friendly, organized and absolutly well informed about historical information and interesting storys. He took us to so many amazing places, showed us example pictures with different angels, different focus and lightning. Explained from which position he took the picture and than gave us plenty of time to either recreate his shot or experiment on our own. Is was absolutly amazing how much a detail can influence the outcome! He really opend our eyes to see things differently, be creative and try out new things. When you traveling to Brügge, defenetely plan one of Andys tours! We would book again anny time again! Thank you so much Andy, we really had an amazing time!

Andy was a wealth of information and extremely supportive. Even as a photographer with some experience it was great to get some tips and suggestions for great photos.

Enjoyed it so much, I booked a second tour the following morning. Great way to see the city with a long-time resident AND come away with some wonderful photos. As an extra bonus, Andy brought a folding bike for my wife, who is not a photographer, to come along on the workshop and share in the experience.

This was the best photo tour I’ve ever experienced! Andy is a pro and he shares his amazing photos and helps you get the creative angles and gives you the proper settings and i informative tips about photography and history. BEST PHOTO TOUR EVER!

Andy was great! He gave us history of Brugge as well as photo tips and a way of changing up your first look at a photography subject. Very enjoyable time spent taking photos I would have missed!

Excellent photo tour. Andy was knowledgeable, fun, patient and helpful. The small group experience was perfect. We really enjoyed it! I highly recommend this.

I did the "Edges of Bruge" tour on Sunday morning. Andy is a smooth talker with a great knowledge about Bruges and even more about photography. He gave me a lot of tips and tricks, both about settings and composition. It was a very exciting and learning experience. I went home with a lot of beautiful photos. Looking forward to do the "Shades of Bruges" tour in fall.

If you love photography even just as a complete beginner like me, then this tour is for you. Andy is so patient and friendly and goes out of his way to help you get the best shots in Bruges. He tells you about Bruges while you're walking around and you dont walk far at all. When you stop at a location he immediately shows you his shots and then encourages you to try them or if you want to do something different then he's fine with that as well. From a beginner to an advanced you'll have a blast with Andy and the tour!

Andy is an inspiration for both the town of Brugge and the art of photography. He was incredibly generous in sharing his craft with us, and what made the tour truly special was that he customised his tips to our specific cameras. He used his own images to show what can be done with composition and light, and within two hours we no longer felt like novices. We are beginner/ intermediate photographers who Andy treated as peers and had such constructive feedback for all of our questions. He took us to a number of off-the-beaten-path locales where tourists and cars were less visible and gave us the time to enjoy the site and learn more about its importance, from both a historical and creative perspective. His passion for his city, his craft and for life in general shined through and left us feeling inspired and excited to continue our journey as aspiring travel photographers. Thank you Andy!

my dad and my 10 year old son went on this tour together and LOVED it. Great for all ages. Highly recommend.

Andy an excellent and relaxed host, guiding us to scenic spots with some of his own shots to inspire us. Never overbearing and very helpful, assisting both beginner and more advanced photographers. Morning tour was great as we seemed to beat the majority of the tourist crowd, who appeared later through the day. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic 2 hours! This tour was the most fun thing I did on my trip. Not only did I get tips for taking better photos, but we got a very personalized tour, which my husband (non-camera +1) very much enjoyed. Andy was most kind and helpful to me, an amateur iPhone photographer. Love his photography philosophy. I cannot wait to edit the photos I took!

Es war ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Neben den vielen Tips für Fotomotive haben wir ein paar Hintergrundinformationen zu Stadt und Menschen bekommen.
