The Tuscany photo tour filled two of my travel desires. First, to visit rural Tuscany in a non-intrusive intimate way and two, to linger as long as I desired taking photos. My criteria were simple: no big bus, no 5 hotels in 7 day, no beaten path. Improving my photo skills would be a nice bonus. My hopes were more than fulfilled. Traveling with a small band of lively spirits with Drake and Randy as our drivers and guides was like being with family. We stayed in Siena and moved only once, to the farm at Pieve where we were greeted like old friends. And the grand dinner at Luca’s new restaurant was the experience that will never be matched.

As for accommodations,the breathtaking scenery was not just outside our door, but literally outside our windows. Our itinerary took us within a radius of just 30 km from our base yet seemed like more.

By covering less ground, and through photography, you can connect with place in a much more personal and creative way. Even though I am not an accomplished photographer, the instructors made me feel like one.

Just as gifted coaches make their sport look easy, Drake and Randy make photography and travel seem effortless. And the group, oh my. The shared laughs, the meals together, the food, the wine and Tuscany — I’ve found my favorite way to travel.

We have enjoyed two Italy Workshops – Tuscany and the Italian Riviera – and we plan to take a third to the Dolomites. The tours are well organized, fun, flexible and a great learning experience. Participants are made to feel comfortable no matter what their level of photographic skill. Accommodations are pleasant and convenient. Drake knows Italy well and he also knows the best times and locations for the perfect photos. We highly recommend these tours for an enjoyable photographic experience in Italy.

The Cinque Terre and Italian Riviera workshop was an unforgettable experience. The towns we visited are gorgeous and rich in subject matter, and Drake and Randy’s intimate knowledge of the area really enhances the trip. Both are expert photographers who love to share their craft – and they are genuinely enjoyable to travel with! Logistics are well managed, including excellent hotel and restaurant choices. The pace is perfect, with plenty of time to photograph and ample time to relax and experience Italy. Overall, the workshop is a combination of a great learning experience and an awesome vacation. You will be inspired not only by the beautiful setting, but also by the images and knowledge shared by your fellow workshop participants.

If you love photography and love to travel, Italy Workshops will not disappoint. In addition to being incredible photographers, Drake and his team are just nice people! They have sponsored these workshops for many years and are extremely knowledgeable about where you need to be to capture the images you’ll be proud of when you return home. Regardless of how much you know – or don’t know – about capturing and editing images, they are patient and willing to help.

I have been to Italy twice, both times with Italy Workshops. First, I went to Tuscany where I fell in love with Italy’s landscapes, people, language, food and, of course, wine! The second trip was the Cinque Terre and Italian Riviera tour. My husband, who is not a photographer, loved both trips. There are plenty of opportunities for partners to explore or enjoy free time if they’d rather not be with the group the entire time.

Drake and his team know many of the locals. They also know the language and how to get around, which takes the hassle out of trip planning and allows you to focus on getting the images you want. Italy Workshops is a great value for the experience and you will walk away with cherished images and memories to last a lifetime.
