A unique way to see the city and end up with some souvenir photos. I'd highly recommend this to other travelers.
Francesco was excellent with my 5 year old son and helped us both understand how the cameras worked and how to get the best photos. I was really impressed with the quality of photos we achieved thanks to his guidance. He was patient and kind to my son who wanted to add “this tour is the best ever - you are the best!”. We even got a lovely photo of me and my son by the river. Thank you for helping to make our trip to Florence a great one! I would highly recommend.
This was such a fun way to see the city of Florence! Our guide was good with kids, taught them the basics of Polaroid photography, and then we went on a hunt for the best picture. They learned about composition, lighting, and more importantly explored the city in a fun way! Our kids are 8 and 10 and said this was the favorite tour of our 2 week Italy trip.
We loved our Polaroid tour with Francesco! Both my kids loved it (7yrs and 10yrs)! The tips about taking good Polaroid photos and the conversation were great and gelato was yummy! A very fun and unique way to explore the city! My youngest says it was his favourite tour guide of the trip :)
I did this walking tour with my wife and my 2 children (ages 6 and 8). I needed have been concerned about the length of the tour for my kids as Francesco was amazing with them and kept their interest throughout the whole experience! He worked brilliantly well with the kids by providing them ideas, tips and technical information but leaving them to their own artistry. The kids absolutely loved the whole experience and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour as well. It was the highlight for our Florence trip and I would thoroughly recommend it.
Thank you so much Vishal! It's been a great Polaroid Tour! Your kids mastered Polaroid like a breeze and I'm glad you all enjoyed the experience :) Francesco
This was a truly unique and wonderful experience. The guide was so personable and we learnt so much about photography and the city. It was so much fun to wander the city taking Polaroids of beautiful images. He was so sweet with the young kids and kept them engaged. I would highly recommend this tour to families!
Thank you Jaya for the review! Yes, the goal is always to keep the kids engaged and provide a fun and pleasing experience for the whole family :) Thank you for coming at the Polaroid Tour! Francesco
Fabulous Polaroid tour- francesco was a fun and knowledgeable host, he showed us some excellent photo options and made the day interesting and informative. Our 2 girls aged 13&14 loved it but this would be a great tour for anyone aged about 7-8 upwards!
Thank you Susie! Yes, at the Polaroid Tour everyone aged 6 years upwards can perfectly use the cameras and fully enjoy the experience. I'm glad your girls had fun and took some great Polaroid to take home :) Thank you Francesco
My family of four including two teenagers loved this tour. Francesco was able to keep my teens engaged throughout the entire task which is not an easy task. Would highly recommend this tour for everyone.
We had a great time with Francesco! He was patient and engaging with my family, especially my 8 year old daughter. He is very knowledgeable and was always trying to help us find the best lighting and angles. This tour was a fun way to see different parts of central Florence.
Thank you Sarah for the review! At the Polaroid Tour we learn how to avoid mistakes and how to use the natural light at its best to get the most out of the Polaroids. Thank you for appreciating the creative approach and the selected spots :) Francesco
Loved it! If you want to learn about Florence, take some great photos, and have some fun with a smart, local guide, Francesco is fantastic! Our family enjoyed the afternoon and seeing the photos afterwards are a treasure! He helped our kiddos take the photos that will make a memory through their unique lenses. 100% recommend and would do again.
