Tuscany Photography - Tours

Hello travelers.

I'm looking for a 3 to 5-day Photography Tour of the beautiful Orcia area in Tuscany.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

It is pretty easy to do yourself. Start with RS Best of Tuscany driving tour and then expand it to your further interests. The recommended tour can easily fill a day if you do all the stops. Plan your trip around a day La Foce Gardens are available to tour and make a reservation. Montepulciano and Montalcino provide good bases and plenty of photography opportunities (and wine). A wander to Asciano, Abbey di Monte Oliveto Maggiore and the Crete Senesi are not terribly far, or Cortona or even into Chianti. The weather in October is superb.

I took a photography tour in Italy a number of years ago and really enjoyed it. It was based in the Val d'Orcia area. However, I don't think that the tour I took is still operating.

You should be able to find lots of tours by doing a search. Perhaps this one would work for you - https://www.tuscanyphotographytours.com/tours/ .

Schteffi: I only wish I planned on having a car. The RS driving tours would be perfect - I thought the same when I read it.
I need someone with a car that knows the areas for photos, though it sounds like the entire area is quite spectacular! Thanks.

Ken: I reached out to that same group, and a couple of others. I was relying on my trusted RS travelers for personal recommendations beyond my internet search. This group looks fabulous, though were booked for my time.

Mignon: That photographer's work is beautiful. The website content is very dated...he may no longer be very active in Tuscany. I bookmarked it for the future when I hope to go to Germany, where he may be based :)

This is a great group. Thank you all!

I know for sure that he is still in Tuscany and not in Germany. He is busy getting his Agriturismo ready. But of course up to you to send a mail :-)
