This is a great tour/workshop for visitors as well as locals. I learned a lot about taking better photographs, using the features of my camera, and adjusting to different lighting conditions. I came home with pictures of The French Quarter that I can treasure as well as brag about! I'm already planning my next tour with Photo Safari! More

My husband and I love to learn something new whenever we travel. This photo "safari" was wonderful! We were complete rookies with our new camera and after our 2.5 hour tour (sounds like a Gilligan's Island theme song!), we were completely pumped up to practice our new insights. Chris weaved a little history into the tour but we had so... More

If you have a camera and have not taken it off of the Automatic shoot mode then this is the tour for you. You will learn how to use different modes on your digital camera and how to set up a shot for good composition. I took the afternoon 2.5 hour tour, although not a great time of day to... More

My husband and I visited New Orleans for the first time in mid-April 2012 and took this photography tour, among several others (Garden District, Katrina Tour, and Mardi Gras World). Neither of us is a professional or expert level photographer. My husband loves the technical side of photography and I like the artistic side, and this tour satisfied both of... More

I received a certificate for the American Photo Safari tour in the French Quarter from my son-in-law on Christmas. What a wonderful gift it turned out to be! Great instructor, she talked with each of us in the group and was knowledgeable regarding the cameras and settings. She led us on a guided tour and surprised me with some of... More

My wife and I signed up to take the Photo Safari on the first full day of our visit to New Orleans. We hoped we would learn a few things we could use throughout the rest of our trip. We were VERY happy with the Safari and what we learned!!! Our instructor, Chris, took all the time we needed at... More

I would highly recommend taking the tour. Not only did we learn to use all the fancy settings on our camera, we also learned about the history of New Orleans. The instructor took his time with each one of us and made sure we understood how to use our cameras. He even researched some extra information we asked about and... More

What a great tour! I had a really old camera that I never learned how to properly use. The guide was very helpful in helping me understand all the buttons and settings, all while taking us on an off-the-beaten track tour of New Orleans. More

If your lucky enough to get Chris as your instructor-you will be in for a treat ! He gave us each a very helpful photo card that I will continue to use. Chris is Very Nice and Very Professional. He gave individual attention to his group. He answered specific questions to our individual cameras. I am impressed with his knowledge... More
