Alfama Photo Walk – Lisbon Photography Experience Led By A Local

Our guided photo walk with Carlos was excellent. We met at an easy to find park that was proximate to the route that our tour would take. Carlos was on time eager to guide us through the winding streets and alleyways of Lisbon. He is knowledgeable about cameras and camera settings and made some helpful suggestions regarding how to set up the camera for the type of photography that we would be doing. Carlos seems to know all the great spots for good photos of everything from architecture, cityscapes, and the iconic Electrico trams. He suggested several helpful Framing options at some of the locations. He also spent some extra time with us in a cafe and gave us several helpful hints regarding getting around Lisbon. I was very happy with this experience and the photos that I came away with. I would gladly go on this tour again.

Fun street photography with leader who took me to places to get interesting shots. Nice way to see neighborhoods that add to the character of Lisbon.

I met Carlos this morning for a photowalk around Lisbon and it was such a fantastic introduction to the city. I am a keen photographer so not only did we have a great chat about that throughout our walk but he also had fantastic knowledge and insight of the secrets and backstreets of the city. He has lots of stories about the different tiles, architecture and streets as you walk along. He knows all the secret spots and was keen to point out great portrait locations to bring my wife back to. He gave me some tips on taking photos and asked me about myself/interests etc to tailor the walk to me. I was very lucky to be the only person on his photo walk! Smartphone, film, digital, whatever camera - this is a great tour to start off a trip in Lisbon!

Carlos is a great guide and knows all the spots to get some iconic images in Lisbon. Along the way he shares some interesting tidbits about the city. All around great guy and I highly recommend going on a photo walk with him while you're in town.

My guide was great! He really knows his city well and was dedicated to taking me to all the fantastic spots. I also appreciated his knowledge about getting the right angels and waiting for the shot- he was generous with advice but lets you do your own thing too! A+

Terrible communication skills. We ended up not doing it because I was so confused if he booked someone else in our spot and when I asked, he did not reply. So I assumed he had someone else and cancelled but he refused to give me refund. I think Viator should give him the refund not me.

Carlos is friendly and knowledgeable. He was generous with his time and experience. Saw lots of unique sites and the pace was just right.

I had a nice time wondering around Alfama and learning about different perspectives with my camera. Carlos was a very friendly and helpful guide.

It was a fun walk and learning experience with Carlos! Bring your walking shoes in hilly Lisboa..it was fun!

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!

Loved meandering through quieter streets of Lisbon, learning how to capture and compose moments in time with pictures. Lovely experience

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 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.

My husband and I look back fondly on our day in Alfama with Carlos. His warm and friendly personality instantly put us at ease as he showed us 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 !

My Tour of Old Town Lisbon was simply wonderful. It was exactly what I was wanting. Our guide took us to out of the way places that not are 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.

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.
