Great photo tour - My son and I did a tour with Alexandra hoping to gain insights into taking better photographs of Street Scenes and Architecture and the tour did not disappoint!! Under Alexandra’s excellent tutelage we learned how to make much better use of our Cameras and how to compose better images. The tour was excellent and I would strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their photography or just get great images of New York.

Great 6 hour Photography Tour with David Castillo. Ups kill your photography and see the real New York. - This was an amazing tour. I learned so much about photography with tour guide David Castillo. He taught me techniques and skills and showed me areas of New York I would never have visited. These techniques I am now using with my photography. I would definitely highly recommend David if you want to up skill your photography and see the real New York. Thank you David.

Great 3 hour class with a lot learnt! - I had told Aperture that I didn't want to take normal tourist photos so wasn't sure what to expect. We met Jahne at City Hall and we walked from there to the Occulus via a couple of churches (trying to balance bright backgrounds and objects in shadow, then a boat trip to DUMBO and some great opportunities to take photos of New York from, Brooklyn. She suggested I try using Manual mode (AV is normal for me) and didn't give up on me! She was a great tutor and great company. My brother came along as a spectator and we both enjoyed chatting to her about photography and sometimes not. I would highly recommend Aperture Tours and Jahne. My next visit is to Berlin - I believe they do tours there, so watch this space.

NYC tour with Jahne Brown - I'm a professional photographer and was looking for a guide to show me some good new spots and tips on some photos I knew I wanted to get. Jahne was really great. From customizing the walk, changing plans to fit my vision of things, to providing genuinely helpful photography tips Jahne was amazing. We covered Midtown, Brooklyn/ Dumbo and the Brooklyn Bridge. Jahne was friendly and quickly picked up on my skill's strengths and weaknesses, offering substantive advice and insight. i got the extended tour and we ended up walking even a bit more into a little bit of overtime. I can't recommend Jahne enough. I think if she was able to work that well with an advanced photographer just imagine the fantastic time she must provide for beginners/ novice shutterbugs. 5 stars, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

New York skyline at night - The tour was excellent. The meeting point was sent to me before the tour, it was precise. They were also able to adjust the time and place at my request. My photographer, Jahné, was very helpful, knowledgeable.

Photographing NYC on a Rainy Day - The rain transforms NYC into a cinematic wonderland. Architecture glistens, cityscapes come alive with reflections, and street scenes exude a moody charm. Each droplet adds depth and character, revealing a side of the city that's both familiar and mysterious. Photographing in the rain captures NYC in a unique light, showcasing its resilience and beauty amidst an urban symphony of water and light. Our tour guide, David Castillo, was simply amazing as he took us on a 6 hr photo tour!

Fun and creative adventure in NYC with Jahné - I had a fantastic evening with Jahné walking around the downtown area and venturing across to Dumbo. We played with different perspectives, shutter speeds and locations. I would highly recommend Jahné as a fun, well-informed and expert teacher. I am fairly competent with my camera, and Jahné was able to show me some things I didn't even know were possible, which was brilliant. If I had not been visiting with my family, I would have booked another trip for another night to explore further and create some more images.
