Florence with Withlocals

"This tour was awesome. Such a cool and unique way to learn about Florence and photography. "

"Francesco is amazing! This experience is perfect to learn tips and tricks of photography, take fantastic photos and learn about Florence. Using Polaroid cameras and with expert coaching from Francesco my son (10) had a great time and learnt so much. The excitement of finally seeing our photos at the end of the tour was great fun. Bravo Francesco for a wonderful time and Grazie Mille!"

"We took the Polaroid tour with Francesco. Was a unique and interesting way to see and appreciate Florence. We had a lot of fun and ended up with pics to make a photo album for generations. Francesco was patient, friendly, and passionate. "

"This experience was the standout family favourite! We booked this tour at the end of our time in Florence, and the inspired opportunity in using Polaroids provided an unique way to both capture the city but also bridge the experience of both adults and teens. Learning how to frame and value a series of single composed images completely engaged our whole family and Francesco’s patient and considered approach was excellent, particularly with each our children. We are thrilled to have these special images as a memory of our time in this beautiful city!"

"Francesco is an amazing guide - taking his Polaroid tour was a perfect way to see Florence. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! He was so welcoming and put a lot of thought and care into our experience. Francesco showed us how to use the Polaroid cameras in terms of lighting, angles, composition and photographic techniques unique to Polaroid photography. My husband and I have fond nostalgic memories of using Polaroid cameras when we were children, whereas our cyber-age daughter was enchanted the novelty of the camera. We loved getting to explore the streets and scenes of Florence with such a friendly and knowledgable guide. Our favorite photo from the week in Italy was the photo Francesco took (with his own digital camera) of us holding the Polaroid cameras after we stopped to eat the best gelato in Florence (a shop Francesco recommended to us). The Polaroid photos are now back home on our mantle, reminding us of our lovely trip to Italy. Thank you, Francesco! You are a gem!"

"Had such an amazing time with Francesco on the Polaroid Tour! It truly is a unique experience to take you back in time to thoughtfully see Florence through a very thoughtful way. His knowledge of the use of Polaroid style matched with his love for the city makes an amazing experience! With 2 teenagers along, having such an engaging way to see the beautiful city of Florence was second to none! Highly recommend for anyone/everyone for amazing souvenirs to bring home from your trip!"

"We had a fantastic time. Francesco is very informative, a wonderful photography teacher. Both kids (11 and 14) were entertained the whole time and the camera was a great way for them to get to know Florence. Highly recommend. "

"this was the best! my 10 year LOVED taking the pictures but more over she loved with being Francesco. He made her feel so comfotable and she truely fell in love with photos and picture taking! what an amazing way to see the city! thank you Francesco for an amazing day! "

"This was the most fantastic experience. The weather was terrible and Francesco kept my kids engaged the whole time. He was very giving if his time and expertise and his local knowledge. He showed us hidden gems of Florence that we would otherwise have never seen. A must book tour for adults if you want to learn more about photography and get a nice souvenir from your trip. And a must do with kids for a unique engaging tour. "

"We enjoyed a great day with Francesco. He educated us in how to use a Polaroid, how to frame pictures, how to manipulate lighting to make our photos most effective. He was kind, patient and thoughtful - a wonderful day overall!"
