Tuscany is one of Italy’s most magical regions, where rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, medieval villages, and vineyards create truly breathtaking views. It’s a real paradise not only for nature and culture lovers, but also for anyone passionate about photography. This photo workshop isn’t just a trip through beautiful landscapes—it’s an intensive, hands-on learning experience. Whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced photographer, our goal is to help everyone improve both technically and artistically while exploring Tuscany’s most iconic locations.
Tuscany’s breathtaking hills, endless vineyards, cypress trees, and charming medieval villages offer constant inspiration for photographers. This isn’t a place for big city lovers—it’s for those drawn to peaceful nature, the authentic feel of the Italian countryside, and the picturesque beauty of the land. Tuscany is truly one of Europe’s top spots for landscape photography. From gently rolling hills and stunning sunrises to rustic stone houses and mystical morning mist, everything’s in place to help you capture truly unique images.
During the workshop, we don’t just visit the most beautiful locations—we also dive deeper into the technical and artisticside of photography. With a mix of individual and group sessions, hands-on exercises, and personalized feedback, we’ll help you grow your skills and take your photography to the next level.

The tour fully met all my expectations! Professional organization and a well-structured daily plan ensured that we made the most of our time. The experienced and supportive guides worked seamlessly together, providing maximum assistance throughout. The group dynamic was disciplined yet fun, making for a great shared experience. I received new tips and inspiration, encouraging me to pick up my camera more often—and maybe even take […]
Perfect light. Stunning locations. Peaceful and patient photography. Always ready to help. Excellent accommodation. That alone would be enough—but on top of that, you have Krisztián and Zsolt, whose presence is inseparable from the experience and guarantees that every aspect of the trip will be truly unforgettable.
In May 2024, I joined the BestPhotoTour photography trip to Tuscany. I set off with a bit of hesitation, as I didn’t know anyone in the group—but the experience exceeded all my expectations! The tour provided fantastic photography opportunities, and I quickly found common ground with the two organizers, Zsolt and Krisztián. Both on a personal and professional level, they delivered exceptional quality. Thank you […]
Breathtaking morning light, misty valleys, rows of cypress trees, poppy fields, golden wheat landscapes, charming Italian towns, delicious food, authentic Italian dinners—followed by evening photography sessions and long conversations over an Aperol Spritz… These are the memories that come to mind when I think of the Tuscany photography tour. This was my third trip with Krisztián and Zsolt, and […]
I joined this tour with a completely unfamiliar group, experiencing this type of organized photography trip for the first time. From the very first phone call, I felt that I was in the right place. Even without knowing me personally, Krisztián and Zsolt offered maximum support, ensuring that all my wishes were fulfilled. And finally, the moment of […]
Breathtaking landscapes, misty sunrises, a well-organized and carefully planned itinerary—yet with enough flexibility to adapt to the weather or unexpected situations. Zsolt and Krisztián’s local knowledge and professionalism added tremendous value to the tour. Everyone received the professional support and attention they needed to return home with stunning photographs. Between the early morning sunrise shoots […]
Although photography had already intrigued me due to the people around me, I embarked on this tour with absolutely no prior knowledge. I had never been to Italy either, so in every sense, this was uncharted territory for me. I didn’t even bring a digital camera—just my phone and a Smena SL along with an 8M. Needless to […]
This was my first time joining a photography tour with BestPhotoTour, and if I could, I would head straight back to Tuscany with the team right now! Krisztián and Zsolt organized the trip with the utmost attention to every detail: a comfortable car, high-quality accommodations, and the most stunning photography locations within Tuscany. During the tour, […]
Two amazing people, a breathtaking location, and a perfectly organized trip for me! If I had to sum it up briefly, these would be the words I’d use! Precision, comfortable travel, cozy accommodations, and a variety of delicious food specialties that left nothing to be desired in terms of quantity or taste. I believe that […]
Tuscany is a wonder in itself, but the boys’ organizational skills, professional expertise, attentiveness, endless patience, and, last but not least, their sense of humor truly crowned these few days. We had the chance to photograph fairytale-like landscapes, always at the right place at the right time—just as a photography tour should be—and they even […]
The way Zsolt and Krisztián showed me Tuscany was love at first sight—witnessing the landscape slowly awakening beneath the cloud cover at dawn and then drifting into sleep under the veil of darkness in the evening was pure magic! Guys, thank you for giving me a new perspective, new techniques, and a fresh way of seeing […]
I had the privilege of joining the 2022 Tuscany photography tour. From the very first moment, we were provided with useful information, and there wasn’t a single question or request that seemed impossible for them to fulfill. If something was unrealistic, they always offered a suitable alternative. The journey went smoothly—we traveled in two separate […]
Tuscany—the very name alone fills you with longing to travel to this landscape overflowing with beauty. Spring in Tuscany—can you imagine it? Unforgettable sunrise and sunset photography sessions bathed in magical light. After the morning shoot, strolls through charming Tuscan towns, enjoying fresh white bread, olive oil, cheese, and red wine while sharing lively conversations. […]
During our photography tours, it often happened that I went off on my own, searching for different spots to shoot from, capturing images from unique angles to avoid having the same photos as everyone else. These little solo adventures even got their own name—Hambalgó-style wandering. One time, after returning from one of these solo explorations, […]
A fairytale landscape, flawless organization, patience, great atmosphere, lots of laughter, brilliant photos, a complete escape from the gray reality, and an extra kilo… This is what the Tuscany photography tour meant to me.
We’ll spend four nights in a charming hotel in the Val d’Orcia region, which we believe is the most picturesque area in all of Tuscany. This landscape offers an incredible variety of photo opportunities: classic green hills, winding roads lined with cypress trees, quaint farmhouses, villas, chapels, and untouched medieval towns—all perfect settings for photography. Spring is the ideal season to visit: the landscape turns vibrant green, the meadows burst with wildflowers, and the early morning mist adds a mystical touch to the scenery.
During the Tuscany photo workshop, we always shoot during the best light conditions—sunrise and sunset. In between, we explore nearby villages, giving you time for a relaxed stroll through typical Italian streets, sipping espresso at a cozy café, browsing local shops, or photographing the quiet beauty of everyday Italian life—narrow alleys, weathered buildings, and authentic scenes full of charm.
Throughout our time here, the main focus will be capturing the harmony between landscape and architecture. We’ll pay special attention to composition, light, and color, encouraging you to use them creatively and intentionally. The program below is just a general guide—we stay flexible and adapt to the weather and light conditions to make sure you get the best possible photo experience.
Arrival in Tuscany, check-in at the hotel, and introduction to the group. An early group dinner, followed by a sunset photography session at a nearby location, where the golden light and iconic cypress trees create the perfect composition.
At dawn, we set off for Podere Belvedere and the famous Gladiator House, capturing the most magical morning light over the Tuscan countryside. After breakfast, we explore the medieval streets of Monticchiello for street photography, followed by a visit to the Punto Panoramico Cipreses en Zigzag viewpoint. In the evening, we enjoy a group dinner at the hotel, then head out for a sunset photography session on the hillside of Agriturismo Terrapille, where the legendary wheat field scene from Gladiator was filmed. Later at night, upon request, we offer a photo review and analysis session, where we go through the images taken during the day.
We begin the day with a sunrise shoot at Poggio Covili, where the cypress-lined roads cast perfect leading lines across the landscape. After breakfast, we explore Pienza, capturing its charming streets through street photography, and photographing the stunning Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio. An early dinner at the hotel, followed by a sunset session near Tuscany Grove, where the tree clusters embracing the rolling hills create a picturesque and timeless scene.
We start the day with a sunrise shoot at the Cappella della Madonna viewpoint, capturing the soft morning light over the Tuscan countryside. Afterwards, we explore the medieval towns of Montepulciano and Montefollonico, focusing on street photography and the unique atmosphere of these historic streets. For our final sunset session, we head to the iconic, cypress-lined winding road of Agriturismo Baccoleno, capturing one of Tuscany’s most legendary landscapes.
A relaxed morning breakfast, followed by a review of our best shots from the trip. Then, it’s time to head home, taking with us a week full of inspiration, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable photography moments!
This photo workshop is more than just a trip—it’s a space to learn, grow, and get personal guidance from pro photographers. Our goal is that you return home not only with unforgettable memories, but also with new knowledge and stunning images. To capture the best possible photos, sometimes a bit of sacrifice is needed. Weather changes or other unexpected factors may occasionally affect the planned schedule. But your safety always comes first. If something gets postponed or rescheduled, it’s only to ensure you get the best possible experience.
We reserve the right to make program changes if needed.
The main focus of this trip is photography. If something unexpected comes up and a scheduled activity can’t happen at the planned time, our guide will do their best to rearrange or adjust it. We want you to have an amazing time—but we also make the final calls, and it’s important that all participants respect these decisions.
To join the trip, good physical health is required. Serious cardiovascular issues or neurological/mental health disorders may be exclusion criteria. If you’re unsure about your condition, it’s essential to check with your doctor beforehand.
Our guides will help you find the perfect angle, the best composition, and make the most out of the available light.
We work with every participant individually and stay flexible to adapt to the conditions around us.
If the weather or lighting isn’t quite right, we’ll come back to the same spot—because we want you to capture your subject in the best possible conditions.
One thing’s for sure: thanks to your camera’s memory (and your own), the memories of this trip will stay with you forever.

Helpful staff. Great buffet breakfast, generous buffet dinner. There is also a very good restaurant. There are also good restaurants near the hotel. Good shops nearby and Wednesday’s city market is a must-see! Aperol Spritz is available at the hotel’s bar, which would be a mistake to miss.
Tour guide
I hiked, climbed mountains, and then I wanted to bring home what I saw in the mountains, so photography came into my life as a hobby, and after ten years as a profession. I’ve shared my experiences and what I’ve seen with the public in several exhibitions and travelogues. Since I decided to get the FIAP (Fédération Internationale de I’Art Photographique), I have been awarded special prizes, distinctions and acceptances in international competitions. I want to show our travellers the exciting and varied world of landscape photography.
Tour guide
I started my photography journey with bird photography, achieving great results in both national and international competitions. Over time, my interest shifted towards landscape photography, and soon, I also delved into the fascinating world of drone photography. My work has been successfully recognized in prestigious competitions such as National Geographic, Nature Photographer of the Year, Magical Hungary, PCCS International Salon, Sony, vadon.ro, IBP Dreamscapes International Salon, MAFOSZ, FIAP, Pannonia Reflections, BPOTY, and WildLifePhoto. My photographs are featured in permanent exhibitions, and I have also published several self-published books showcasing my work.
Tour guide
Photography is not just a hobby for me – it is a passion inspired by my love of nature. I am fascinated by the beauty of the landscape and the uniqueness of the built environment. Photographic tours allow us to get closer to the wonders of nature, to discover the beauty that surrounds us and to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Besides landscape photography, interior and street photography have a special place in my life. In 2023, I tried to deepen my knowledge in this field by taking a course in Street Photography at MOME. My pictures try to capture the special atmosphere of each location, the magic of the moment and the diversity of the world.
