Great guide and photographer. Nicholas showed us the best spots and best angels to take the best photos. One could not find a better guide in BA. Finally, he is not intrusive which is important for us.
Hi Chris, Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It was an absolute pleasure showing you around Buenos Aires and helping capture some of the city's best spots. I always aim to give my clients the space to enjoy their creative process without feeling rushed or intruded upon, so I’m incredibly glad to hear that you appreciated that approach. Whenever you find yourself back in Argentina, you know where to find me. Wishing you all the best!! Nicholas
We had an amazing experience with Nik in Buenos Aires. He’s incredibly kind, soft-spoken, and made us feel welcome from the start. What I loved most was how personal the experience felt—he took the time to get to know us and shared his own stories, making it feel like we were exploring the city with a friend. Seeing BA through his eyes was truly special. As a photographer, he went above and beyond. He had looked at my work in advance and tailored the tour to my interest in street and travel photography. He pushed me to think more intentionally about my compositions and shots, and that made a real difference. He never rushed us - the focus was always on the experience. The thoughtful and constructive feedback he gave me in our photo review session is something I’ll carry with me going forward. It was such a fun, enriching experience - learning, exploring, and seeing BA in a completely new way. Nik - I hope you organize a tour in the US someday, I’d love to join again or hopefully in another corner of the world!
Thank you so much Malini for these incredibly kind words! It was an absolute pleasure spending time with you and Abhi, exploring Buenos Aires together. Knowing that the experience felt personal and genuine makes me so happy, because that's exactly what I aim for: not just a tour, but a real connection and a shared adventure. You're the kind of traveler and creative soul that makes this work so fulfilling. The photo review session is always one of my favorite parts, and I loved seeing how you reflected on and engaged with each shot. As for a tour in the US, finger crossed. I love the idea. Until then, keep shooting with intention and curiosity. Warmest greetings, and safe travels wherever the road takes you next!!
We hired Nicholas Tinelli for a full-day tour in Buenos Aires before our Antarctic cruise, and it was the highlight of our stay. Nicholas took us through several diverse neighborhoods, each with its own unique character, and helped us capture truly fantastic photos. We were so impressed with his expertise that we booked him again for a half-day tour when we returned from our cruise! Beyond his technical photography skills, Nicholas is a wealth of knowledge. He shared fascinating insights into the city's history and culture, which added so much depth to our visit. If you want to go beyond simple snapshots and really see the authentic beauty of Buenos Aires, I cannot recommend Nicholas highly enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot to me. Spending a full day exploring the city together and reconnecting after your cruise was a real pleasure. I’m always grateful when I can share not just photography, but also the stories, history, and everyday Argentinian culture. Thank you again for your trust and enthusiasm — I hope our paths cross again someday, whether back in Argentina or in the US!!
Nicholas curated two fantastic days of photography experiences for me, including a trip outside Buenos Aires to visit a gaucho and his horse plus a combined city from above and twilight tour. From golden hour epic country scenes, to iconic urban twilight shots, this was an amazing opportunity to see what makes this region so special. He offered great advice throughout our time together, and I’m thrilled with the results. Don’t hesitate to book with him if you come to Argentina. You will not regret it!
Hi Scott, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It truly means a lot. Those two days were a real highlight for me as well — from the countryside moments spent with the gaucho and his horse, to the time spent walking in downtown BA. You approached every situation with enthusiasm and a great eye, which made the whole experience even more rewarding. For me, hearing that you’re happy with your results — is always the best outcome. Thank you as well for the recommendation. I hope our paths cross again for another photographic adventure somewhere in the world! All the best, Nicholas
Nicholas Tinelli is absolutely incredible — a 5-star review isn’t enough for this fabulous soul! He is knowledgeable, passionate, patient, and genuinely caring. I learned so much during our time together, felt completely at ease, and had so much fun. His love for photography and for Buenos Aires shines through in everything he does. What makes him truly special is that he offers assistance and guidance even after your private session, ensuring your photos turn out beautifully. We only wish he lived closer so we could see him again!
Dear Ann, Reading your message truly touched me — thank you for such generous and heartfelt words. A 5-star review is already a gift, but what you wrote goes far beyond that, and I’m deeply grateful. It was such a joy to share my passion for photography with you and to explore Buenos Aires together. This city has a special rhythm and soul, and seeing you connect with it — camera in hand — made the experience incredibly meaningful for me as well. I’m especially happy that you felt at ease and had fun while learning. That balance is so important to me. Photography isn’t just about technique; it’s about confidence, curiosity, and enjoying the process. And of course, I’m always glad to continue offering guidance afterward — your images deserve the same care even once the session is over. Distance aside, I hope our paths cross again someday — whether here in Buenos Aires or somewhere else in the world with beautiful light waiting for us. A warm greeting, Nicholas
Custom location and experience based on my photo interests and camera. Incorporated several areas include one that was discussed during the tour. Guide known to some historic establishments for exclusive access and photo subjects. Received suggestions on good compositions for those areas. Guide also took some photos of us, the guests, and shared for our memories.
we were passing though Buenos Aires on our way to the Antarctic, and we decided that the best way to utilize our time there was to hire a professional guide, after a quick online search, we found nicholas, he did not disappoint not only is he an exceptional photographer. He's also an excellent guide. he responded quickly to all my inquiries helped us arrange transportation and met us at our hotel, from beginning to end, he went out of his way to ensure that we had a successful photo shoot definitely five out of five stars
Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a real pleasure guiding you and helping make the most of your time here, from planning logistics to the photo tour itself. I’m very happy to hear that you felt well supported throughout the experience and that the session met your expectations. Thank you again for your trust and for the kind words. I hope to see you back again in BA!!
I was traveling in Buenos Aires with my mom and her friend, both of whom are avid photographers. I booked a semi-last minute photography tour for them with Nicholas on our first night here, scheduling it for the following evening. I was able to message Nicholas over WhatsApp. He was very responsive and took all the information I gave him about our goals. I explained to him that while I was familiar with the city from having lived here, I did not really know what the optimal photo areas were, particularly when it comes to evening and nighttime photography. Moreover, since my mom and her friend were experienced photographers, they wanted to take photos of specific things (notably the street art in Palermo Soho). Nicholas was very helping in coming up with an itinerary for us. He met us at our apartment before the scheduled time and even brought two tripods for us to use (which we requested and ended up not using - poor guy had to carry them around for a few hours). We were able to shoot photos during the golden hour and at sunset into twilight of various views of Buenos Aires, in line with what we asked for. Nicholas is an extremely friendly and personable guy. It was clear from speaking with him that he's very passionate about photography. During our outing, he was highly attentive of our needs and even provided both my mom and her friend (who's an award winning photographer), many pointers and suggestions. It's rare to find someone who is so willing to teach others his tips and tricks of the trade, much less being able to effectively communicate them to others. I highly recommend Nicholas as a photography tour guide or as a photographer, and 100% wouldn't hesitate to schedule this again.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and generous review. It truly means a lot to read such detailed feedback, especially knowing the tour was shared with experienced photographers. I really enjoyed planning the itinerary with you and adapting it to your specific goals, particularly focusing on evening light and the street art in Palermo Soho. Golden hour into twilight is always a special moment in Buenos Aires, and I’m glad we were able to make the most of it together. It was a pleasure spending time with your mom and her friend — their experience and curiosity made the walk even more engaging. I’m always happy to share techniques and ideas, and it’s great to hear that the exchange was valuable and enjoyable for them. Thank you again for your recommendation and trust, especially on a semi last-minute booking. I’d be delighted to photograph or explore the city with you again anytime you’re back in Buenos Aires.
Thanks to a birthday present I had the opportunity to take this photo tour of Buenos Aires City. I arrived without knowing what to expect: what Nicholas would be like as a guide, what places we would visit, or how much I could learn to improve my photos. Nicholas was the perfect guide. He took me to really interesting places and, with a very practical approach, taught me techniques that I could incorporate immediately into my way of photographing. In addition to being a great professional, he is a very friendly person: his treatment is cordial and his way of explaining, clear and patient, makes learning a pleasure. Like I said, I didn't know what I'd be up against. Today, after experiencing this experience, I am convinced that this tour can contribute a lot to anyone who does. I highly recommend it and thank Nicholas very much.
Muchas gracias por tus palabras y por compartir tu experiencia Domingo. Me alegra mucho saber que el tour superó tus expectativas y que las técnicas vistas pudieron incorporarse de inmediato a tu forma de fotografiar. Ese es precisamente el objetivo: que la experiencia sea práctica, clara y útil desde el primer momento, más allá del recorrido o de los lugares visitados. Fue un verdadero placer acompañarte y recorrer la ciudad con vos. Gracias también por destacar el trato y la forma de enseñar; crear un ambiente cómodo y cercano es fundamental para que el aprendizaje fluya. Te agradezco sinceramente la recomendación y la confianza. Me alegra haber sido parte de este regalo y de tu proceso fotográfico.
I had an amazing photo tour in La Boca with Nicholas Tinelli, and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my time in Buenos Aires. From the very beginning, Nicholas was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to understand what kind of photos I wanted and explained how the session would flow, which made me feel relaxed and confident right away. La Boca is vibrant, colorful, and full of character, and Nicholas knows this neighborhood perfectly. He guided me through the most iconic spots as well as lesser-known corners that made the photos feel authentic and unique. From the famous colorful streets to artistic details and textured backgrounds, he knew exactly how to create stunning images. He has an incredible eye for light and composition, and together, we were able to capture the energy, culture, and soul of La Boca. He was patient, encouraging, and full of great local insights, which made the tour feel more like exploring La Boca with a local friend than a formal photo tour. His professionalism, combined with his warm personality, made the experience effortless and fun.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review. I truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience. It was a pleasure photographing you in La Boca and exploring the neighborhood together. I’m really glad you felt comfortable and confident from the beginning — creating a relaxed atmosphere is essential for authentic images. La Boca has such a strong visual identity and energy, and I’m happy we were able to capture not only its iconic colors but also its quieter, more personal corners.
