What to expect
You'll spend two hours walking at a leisurely pace through winding medieval streets, pausing frequently to frame and shoot. Your guide will point out specific locations—architectural details, light patterns, street scenes—and explain why they work photographically. Expect hands-on critiques of images you've taken, with practical suggestions for angle, depth of field, or timing. The tour balances movement with stillness; you're not rushing to tick off landmarks but rather learning to see them as subjects. Medieval stonework, doorways, and atmospheric alleys dominate the visual palette.
