Venice Photography Workshops with Marco Secchi

I would like to share briefly my experience of the tours with Marco Secchi. We had decided for a photo tour with him through Venice and already booked this tour about 4-5 months in advance. The communication via email went smoothly and it was very nice to see that he mostly answered us within a few minutes and responded to questions and requests optimally. Then the tour came slowly closer and we agreed shortly 1 day before still concrete to meeting place and time. We deliberately wanted to book a tour in the morning hour (blue hour) and punctually at the appointed time we met. Marco understands his craft excellently and could show us in the course of the tours very many beautiful motifs and photo locations. Yes, here it pays off that Marco knows his city perfectly, as well as the sun position at the various locations at different times. Since we are not photographic beginners and can already use our camera it was not necessary for Marco to show us additional settings for the best photo on the camera. But I am sure: if someone needs that, Marco will be very happy to help. In addition to the photo locations, Marco also explained to us during the tour about the history and people of Venice - it was very entertaining and enjoyable. We enjoyed the tour very, very much and have fun and we recommend him and his offered tours unreservedly very happy. Thank you Marco for the tour - there were mega beautiful photos for the memory. Best regards, Alexandra and Matthias from Lake Constance.

Marco is by far and away the best photo guide that i have ever had. His creativity and the way he communicates this to you with such enthusiasm is contagious. He guides you to all the most artistic places you cannot help getting excellent photos that tell a story and that you will be proud to show to your friends and family.

It took a lot of research before deciding on booking a morning tour with Marco. I am pleased to say we were not disappointed. Marco provided a perfect mix of photograph taking options along with interesting information about Venice history - all delivered with charm and humour. Marco was happy to give help when composing photos or just take you to a location and let you do your own thing if that is what you prefer. The morning flew by too quickly, we could easily have spent the day walking the back streets of Venice with Marco. The coffee stop was an added bonus and very much appreciated!

We just returned from Venice and our third workshop with Marco. Our previous excursions were his classic walking tours which were really excellent! This trip we took his sunrise workshop. His advice and help getting our cameras set up, gave us some terrific photos as memories of this trip. As much fun as the photography, was the coffee breaks and interesting discussions, he knows the best places. If you are interested in anything photography related in Venice, Marco is the one to see. I even went out one evening and got some more terrific photos using the advice I got from him. We will be coming back to Venice, and we will definitely be looking at another of Marco's Workshops! Thanks Marco! Steve and Lucia

My sister, niece and I had a tour of Venice with Marco. It was the highlight of our trip. He's such a fun and interesting person, we could listen to his stories forever. His knowledge of the city and his eye for incredible photography was amazing. Plus getting to experience a local coffee shop with Marco was an extra treat. If you can only do one thing in Venice I would recommend taking a photo tour with Marco. I would give him 10 stars if possible.

My tour with Marco was a highlight of my Italy trip. Communication and coordination were seamless. I saw areas and sights I would not have otherwise and learned details and history of Venice. All while catching photos from the best vantage points with advise from a professional photographer.

We have twice enjoyed Photography Workshops with Marco; once with our children, in 2017, and then as a couple in 2023 - both times in Venice. Marco is a marvellous guide. He is generous with his time, patience and expertise and has many fascinating stories to share, plus a local's knowledge of the wonders of Venice. I have been able to take some lovely photos under Marco's guidance and he has drawn my eye to fresh ideas to capture a scene, a landmark, a moment. We highly recommend Marco's Photography Workshops and Tours; they have been a holiday highlight and we look forward to the next time we are in Venice to introduce our friends to his tour.
