What our Guests are Saying
I can't wait to go back!
What made the trip truly special was the small size of the group and the personal attention and guidance each of us received. As well, Drake’s knowledge of the area and his well-established relationships with locals made me feel like I was on my own private tour. Combine these things with amazing food and fantastic accommodations, and honestly, I can’t think of a better way to experience Italy. I can’t wait to go back!

The experience of a lifetime!
I’ve never had workshop instructors show such genuine interest in the participants – Joel & Drake provided something truly special. I learned as much in a week with you two as I learned in two semesters of photography classes because you were IN the field with us mentoring and reinforcing what we learned in “class” as we went.
It was the experience of a lifetime. Thanks so much!
