We loved our experience with Tobias. We saw some beautiful sights and got professional tips on taking photos at night. Tobias really takes his time to help compose pictures that are interesting and dynamic. Truly appreciated the experience walking around some of the most beautiful sights of Vienna and learning from a professional photographer likeTobias! Thank you for the fantastic night!
Tobias was very invested in helping us learn new photography techniques on our iPhones. He was personable and easy to work with.
A lovely evening and a superb experience. Thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot - I have the pictures to prove it! Tobias was great. Very knowledgeable and patient. Would highly recommend.
Tobias was a great guide for photography and taught us some new techniques which were new to me. He is an accomplished photographer and took time with us patiently explaining the details.
Our experience on the Vienna night tour was underwhelming, to say the least. Our guide, Tobias, seemed less than fully alert — perhaps already a couple of drinks down, given the late hour. The "tour" consisted of walking a couple of blocks, during which Tobias pointed out little of significance. He took just one family photo at a traffic light, which he later emailed to us. Most landmarks were declared "closed" or "not worth seeing" at night. The promised "snacks" amounted to a single piece of chocolate each. Disappointingly, there was no insight into the city's history, beauty, or architecture. For the steep price, this was a complete waste of time and money. Avoid!
When traveling to a new area, I know what I want to photograph, but knowing where the best spots to photograph from takes a lot of time to figure out. In order to save time, I like to hire a photography guide early in the trip. A good photography guide not only gives you tips on how to photograph your favorite locations, but also helps you plan the rest of your trip with great recommendations on the best local restaurants and places to visit. Antonio, was definitely helped me get oriented on my five day vacation in Rome with some great recommendations while taking me to the right spots to photograph some of the areas great Icons. I traveled in late October-early November 2024. Due to a lot of construction in Rome at this time, some popular spots were not possible to photograph. If you are serious about getting specific photos, do your research before hand.
The trip was amazing the weather was amazing. Eddie Sambo and Juan Abicoles saw to our every need. They are a dynamic Duo. We love them, they are like family.Jose minaya is also great!. Adriana boez is the best Bartender at the level bar. We love her. Franklin German is a great waiter, he is the best! We had Antonia Guzman taking care of our room. She was the best., always had a smile 😊 We just love the level experience. Janis and Peter ❤️
If you are a hobby photographer, you can't miss this experience with Tobias. We started the tour at 930 pm. Tobias not only took us to some of the best spots in Vienna's central district, he also gave handy tips on photo composition, camera handling etc. As much as we enjoyed the sights, as a hobby photographer, I found his tips invaluable. Thanks Tobias!
Professional, guide gave great insights, changed my photography for the better. Sights were beautiful, love taking pictures at night.
Wonderful!! Tobias was a great host. We were running late and he communicated really well to meet him. He gave excellent photography tips for our iphone photos and also took excellent photos of us. He also shared great Vienna info. A perfect walking tour for the first night!!
Tobias is an excellent photographer. I came into the experience with basic knowledge of photography, and Tobias met me where I was at. He challenged me to take new types of shots and showed me new techniques. The buildings were beautiful, and Tobias gave me the freedom to change some of the stops, so we could spend more time in places I was interested in. Truly an awesome experience. I would highly encourage anyone to do this. 10/10 most memorable experience of my trip to Europe - Chris R
Excellent experience. My guide was experience and gave some good insite. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning night photography.
Our tour guide Tobias Steinmaurer was very patient with us. He helped us on the camera settings when I wasn't sure. He was enthusastic in taking us to places with good oppertunity to capture beautiful and unique pictures. He didn't rush us instead was willing to spend a little bit longer time than it was supposed to in a very cold night. I highly recommend Tobias.
Tobias is a wonderful person who took us to almost all nice places in the city for a photo tour. He was really nice and had excellent knowledge of what he is doing. We enjoyed the walking tour very much!
Its a walking tour😂😂. Tomas did a wonderful job describing the major highlights near the old city. He provided wonderful picture taking tips. We wound up with some cool nite pictures
This activity is beyond over priced. Our guide barely spoke to us. He did not know how to assist me in putting my IPhone on night mode. A fellow participant assisted me. Truly a ridiculous amount of money to walk around to sites that are lit, everyone could do that on their own.
Tobi is lovely and I enjoyed seeing the city at night time with a local who was happy to answer my questions. Some nice photos were an added bonus. Thanks again!
It was an amazing tour. Not only for experienced photographers but also beginners. Tobias it’s very patience and knows a lot of photography. I highly recommend this tour.
It was a lot of fun seeing parts of Vienna at night time. Beautiful city. The instructor was great and very knowledgeable!
This was a great tour. Tobias is a very professional photographer - he knew the best locations for evening photos but also where and how to take the best photos.
Very worthwhile trip. Tobias is a professional photographer who not only knew the right locations for evening photos but also where and how to take the best photos. This tour hit the top night time attractions and upgraded my photography game.
Outstanding photo tour - not only that Tobias showed us the most spectacular buildings/ areas in Vienna at night but also that he supported everyone with the cameras settings (independent if DSLR or smartphone). Tobias is really knowledgeable about the history in Vienna and most important a really wonderful human! We enjoyed every minute of this tour.
A brilliant way to see the city at night and get some great photos. Toby was a perfect guide and is very knowledgeable and helped all of us to get some great shots, even with our phones. Highly recommend this tour.
This was a great tour and a cool way to experience the city of Vienna in the night. Tobias provided a lot of history about each spot we visited and also gave lots of photography tips and recommendations.
A very competent and well-equipped photographer (I think her name was Madeleine) picked me up on time and showed me beautiful locations for night views of important buildings in the center of Vienna. It rained a little, which wasn't a problem at all. I believe with their help anyone can produce impressive photos.
Wonderful experience, was the first tour arriving at Vienna by noon, so it was a great way to see Vienna for the first time by night and the magnificent buildings that Tobías show us that are in the tour and the plus is that Tobías show us the perfect spot and tips to take great photos. Nice person. My photos are great ! Thanks you so much !
Had a great time! Your guide was very knowledgeable and we visited several spots that I would have never found. If you look for a guide to get you great night shots, look no further!
Our guide was Superb. He proved Ed Great advice for selection of locations for the photographs and photography techniques.
This is a walking tour which was not stated in the description. The many churches and old world buildings were lit up with color, worthy of the perfect picture. Toby showed us how to take the best shot.
Toby was excellent. Really knows his photography and knows the good spots for night shots. Got a lot of nice photos that wouldn’t have been possible on my own in the city.
This was a fun way to explore Vienna at night & an excellent way to learn some photography tips & tricks. Tobias was very knowledgeable in both knowledge of the city & of photography. A unique experience to enjoy the city!
I had a great time with Tobias. He is very kind and talented person. We visited beautiful places for about 2.5 hours and took great photos.It also provides technical and compositional support.
Worth every penny Tobias was awesome. Very well informed and friendly. Great knowledge and easy to converse with its wasn’t hard to have a conversation. He took a cool pic with his camera and gave great pointers for pictures . He was right on time and went a bit extra. I would highly recommend!
A great evening visiting and photographing sights we would not have found on our own. Highly recommended.
We had a beautiful evening for our photo walk and really enjoyed being guided with good advice and interesting information about Vienna itself.
Vienna photo tour Great experience with Tobias. He was very professional , friendly and helpful. He had a well planned itinerary, provided tips on getting good night time exposure to capture the lights, and a great overview of all the places we photographed. Vienna has such beautiful buildings and architecture. Highly recommend as a great way to not only get good pictures but also for a great experience overall.
I loved this adventure! I wasn’t sure what to expect but was pleased with the professionalism of the event and how informative Tobias was with the perfect way to take photos of the best spots. You could see the thoughts going through his mind to capture the exact right photo and lighting. Very cool experience and neat way to see the city at night! Highly recommend this for anyone wanting great photos and a relaxing way to walk the city at night.
Very nice guy. I’m sorry, I don’t remember your name! Seeing Vienna at night was a much different experience than during the day especially at the Albertina looking down at the Vienna State Opera House, the Hofburg and Karlskirche. If you just like looking at amazing buildings at night I would recommend this tour. You don’t have to be a photographer. I just took pictures with my phone.
The tour was fantastic! Toby gave us a good overview of Vienna, showed us how to navigate the city and answered our questions about the country’s history and culture. As a professional photographer, he is very knowledgeable and helped us with our technical camera settings. He also had great ideas around photo compositions, the best places to shoot from and encouraged us to experiment with different night photography techniques. Really enjoyed it!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the photo tour with Toby. As a total beginner myself, Toby was so patient with me and talked me through the basics and ensuring I was able to take memorable and quality photo shots. His enthusiasm and technical expertise in photography has really helped me. With him giving out his childhood favourite chocolate at the end of the tour was a nice touch to round things up! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Vienna!
The tour we took was one of the highlights of our trip to Vienna. Tobias gave us some good tips and showed interesting tricks with long exposure. My husband took photos with his camera and they came out great. But even those I took with my iPhone (uploaded here) turned surprisingly good. We learned a lot of new interesting things, both about photography and Vienna! Thank you for the tour Tobias!
Great tour with Tobias! He was able to give me some of the history behind many of them locations and advice on the perfect spots for the best photos. Many thanks
Tobias gave us a wonderful photo tour of one of the most beautiful cities in the world at night. My daughter and I really appreciated his knowledge and experience in photography and his patience. It was raining on the night of our tour so he was gracious in holding our umbrellas over us so we could get the shots without getting our lenses spotted with water as he got soaked. His enthusiasm for the city and his profession was not dampened by the weather. Our shot of the opera house with the light trails and lights reflecting off the wet pavement was the favorite of our entire tour of Germany and Austria. Tobias works very hard to make sure you return with photos worthy of making art out of when you return home. He is great about helping both novices and hobbyists to learn something new about their cameras and how to find the perfect shot at night. Thank you Tobias for a beautiful introduction to your city.
Our guide was very friendly and provided history and some great photo spots on this walking tour. He shared his favorite photo locations and best angles and offered camera settings to get the best result.
Excellent experience with Tobias. I was able to visit some nice locations to get some great photographs. The fact that he is an experienced working photographer from Vienna was awesome.
Vienna is so beautiful at night. Thank you Tobi for this amazing tour. And by the way: The Mozart- chocolate you gave me was sooo tasty! :) ;)
Experienced guide, remained patient and gave advice until I got my perfect picture. Had a nice evening.
Gregor was so knowledgeable about photography and also the history of Vienna. I picked up some new photography tips and also more history of Vienna. He wax very nice, and made the trip fun.
The photo tour was great. The places we saw were special. Tobias, de photographer had a lot to tell us. It was really, really great.
