WHICH FLIGHTS SHOULD I BOOK?
Start by checking Google Flights using the multi-city option to estimate costs from your home airport. Suggested flight details will be provided once the destination is confirmed.
WHAT DOES “MODERATE” FITNESS LEVEL MEAN?
You should be comfortable:
- Lifting luggage on and off trains and in and out of vehicles
- Walking for extended periods
- Navigating uneven terrain, cobblestones, and moderate to steep inclines
Preparing with regular walking before the tour is highly recommended.
WHERE ARE WE STAYING?
We stay in clean, safe, and charming hotels, carefully chosen for their great locations, comfort, and amenities.
ARE WE SHOOTING AT DAWN AND DUSK?
Yes. We’ll take advantage of the best light throughout the day. Dusk shoots are standard, and optional dawn shoots are offered in select locations. In September, sunrise is around 6:00 am, so there may be a couple of 5:15 am wake-ups, weather permitting. Prefer to sleep in? Totally fine.
WHAT CLOTHES & SHOES SHOULD I BRING?
Comfort first, but cute is good too! A detailed packing list will be sent after your spot is confirmed.
WHAT CAMERA KIT SHOULD I BRING?
Bring what fits your goals—DSLR, mirrorless, or iPhone.
