Frequently Asked Questions about the Private Photo Tour

Is this a photo shoot or a lesson?

It can be either, or both. Some guests want a photographer to take pictures of them around the city, some want to be taught how to take better ones themselves, and plenty want a bit of each. Tell us which and we will match you accordingly.

Do I need a proper camera?

No. A phone is fine and our photographers will show you how to get far more out of it. Bring a camera if you have one and you will get more out of the teaching side.

How long is it?

Three hours, which is enough to cover several locations without rushing.

Where do we go?

To the locations our photographers actually rate, which are not always the obvious ones. The route is personalised, so if there is somewhere you have seen and want a picture of, say so.

Do we get the photographs afterwards?

Yes. The edited images are sent to you after the shoot. How many and in what form depends on which option you choose, and we will set that out clearly when you book.

Is it suitable for families or a group of friends?

Very much so. It works well for families, for honeymoons, and for groups of friends, where we sometimes turn the teaching into a friendly competition.

Is this tour suitable for guests with limited mobility?

Yes. As a private tour we tailor the route, pace and distance to you. The historic city centres are compact and mostly flat, though the streets are often cobbled with the occasional bridge or step. On request we plan a largely step-free route, and we can arrange accessible transport or a wheelchair (arranged per booking). Tell us what you need when you enquire and we will plan around it.

Less was a terrific Guide. We leaned so much from start to the VR experience finish. The meeting point would be better described with a description of the small statue we were to look for….and the VR goggles I had were foggy. I LOVE VR though so it was worth doing and then just let Kess know my goggles needed refreshing. I would like to know Kess’ great grandfathers’ name. So great an experience.

Fantastisk tur og historier langs vejen. Det afsluttede med en virtueltour i Huset hvor familien gemte sig. Jeg tror dette er bedre end selve Anne Frank huset, hbor man skal gå sammen med 80 andre!

Michael was very knowledgeable on the subject of Anne Frank and her family. He was kind and helpful in managing our group through the city streets of Amsterdam. The virtual reality section was interesting because we could take our time to explore the Secret Annex on our own, looking at the details of the living situation that the 8 people in hiding endured.

Michael took us through the tour in a very informative, nice and gentle way. We learned a lot about the life of Anne Frank and the history of Amsterdam.
