"I recently had the opportunity to explore Madrid through the lens of street photography with Julio, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the start, Julio’s passion for photography and deep knowledge of the city’s diverse neighborhoods made the session both educational and inspiring.
He guided me through areas that offered a wide range of visual stories—from bustling markets and quiet alleyways to vibrant plazas full of local life. Julio doesn’t just know the best spots; he knows how to see them through a creative lens, and he teaches you to do the same.
What stood out most was his patience and understanding. He recognized that for many street photography can feel intimidating at first. But Julio’s calm, encouraging approach made it feel completely approachable. He shared practical techniques, composition tips, and clever tricks to help me capture more authentic, compelling images—all while keeping the mood relaxed and enjoyable.
Whether you're a beginner or someone looking to refine your street photography skills, I highly recommend this experience. Julio’s combination of expertise, enthusiasm, and supportive teaching style makes this more than just a photography tour—it's a genuinely enriching learning experience."

"I did 3 days of photo workshops with Julio - and I wish I could have done more. Julio arrived prepared with suggested itineraries for each session, including different locations and lighting scenarios as well as composition and technical exercises. He had reviewed my photography in advance to ensure the workshop would help me refine and improve my skills. His enthusiasm for photography, for the city of Madrid and even helping me practice Spanish made our 3 days fly by. His workshop also feels like a cultural and historical tour of Madrid as he familiarized me with this beautiful, lively city. It was such a pleasure spending time with him. I highly recommend Julio and look forward to a future opportunity to shoot with him. Gracias por todo, Julio!"

"Maria was an absolute delight. From the moment we met she taught me and inspired me to speak and love Español. She was very patient and encouraging and most of all a great teacher. I have vowed to practice so that next time we meet we can experience more beauty in Madrid. Gracias. "
"My husband and I enjoyed our time with Julio. My husband is the photographer and learned things about taking pictures from Julio. Loved that it was just the two of us with him. He took us to place and pointed out things we never would have seen while we were in Madrid. "
"My husband and I booked this tour. We are hobbyists and always do tours like this when we travel. I have never had a better experience than with Julio. He is kind, cool and interesting. He taught me more about street photography that any other workshops I have done. Simply brilliant. And he knows Madrid really well, so he adds a ton of context to places. Great experience!"

Fantastic Flamenco Experience
"My family of four absolutely loved the behind the scenes Flamenco experience with Elena. We opted for a castanet lesson which really made us appreciate the difficulty of the performances. Since the lesson was at an actual dance school we were also able to see real performers practicing for their upcoming shows. "
"A delightful walk around parts of Madrid practicing street photography. Julio was a delight, lots of fun, and took great photos! Wish there was some way to share them here. Learned some valuable tips. A super afternoon. THANKS AMIGO!"
"Julio Cesar was an incredible guide with a load of knowledge about Madrid and the streets we were walking. He also taught me some new techniques to add to my photography!! My husband also accompanied us and although he is not a photographer, he really enjoyed everything about our photo walk. He is a great guy to spend the morning with and caters the walk to what suits the customer!! I can't recommend him enough! Do yourself a favor and book him!!"
