Francesco is a very friendly individual who has a wealth of knowledge on Polaroid cameras and the film that they use. I had an excellent time on the tour. The other people in my group were friendly as well, so this was a great time all round. There are only positives I can think of - no negatives! I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning to shoot with a Polaroid camera + getting to take pictures of beautiful spots in the city of Florence. The gelato at the end was tasty! 😁

This was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for something to do during the day. This experience is great for families or even going solo. You will see the huge landmarks while getting to capture them on something you can keep forever! Francesco is an amazing tour guide and teacher. He has so much patience and genuinely wants his students to learn.

We had the best time! It had been a long time since we've used Polaroids so it was a fun reminder of how you can be artistic taking pictures and the excitement of it developing and seeing how it came out. Francesco was awesome! Even though it was cloudy he made sure to help us get the best spots with light, he'd give us ideas for shots but also encouraged our own creativity. He's very patient and funny and made the tour just a relaxing and fun experience. And I love how we have 8 little mementos of our time here. So glad I found this tour!

Recommended for both new and experienced photographers! Francesco is a great “camera coach” — generous with his expertise and encouragement — as well as a knowledgeable local guide.
I’ve been shooting film for years but don’t know Polaroid very well. Francesco helped us get the best images possible and inspired us with his emphasis on storytelling and creative composition.
We will treasure our collection of photos from the tour — what a delight!

This was one of our most favourite tours we did in Italy. Francesco was very knowledgeable and personable, and we had an awesome time learning about Polaroid while taking in some of the most beautiful sites in Florence. He was super encouraging and supportive, giving us lots of tips on how to shoot the best pictures. We came away with wonderful memories and eight polaroids that represented part of our experience. Francesco and this tour are one of a kind!

Francesco was such a fantastic tour guide and was incredibly helpful with all questions I had about exploring Florence and polaroid photography. He explained all of the aspects of using a polaroid camera really well and showed me a lot of obscure things I would never have thought about which could affect the final photo. He is really knowledgeable about photography and has inspired me to continue doing photography after doing the tour with him! I'll always be super grateful to Francesco for inspiring me and teaching me so much in this tour! He is really friendly and it was such a great time walking around with him and exploring Florence, I highly recommend this tour!

I remember having a Polaroid as a child. When my dad would let me use it to take a photo or two, I would maneuver the big camera box, line up my shot, push the bottom, and listen as the camera made the unmistakable whir, grind, click noise before shooting out a stiff but floppy square of white cardboard. Then I would hop around in anticipation waiting, what seemed like forever, to see the image the camera had wrought. Francesco's tour recreated all those happy memories using original Polaroids and the fantastic backdrop of Florence. It was a unique experience. So, if you are looking for a fun tour of the city, some neat historical facts, and a trip down memory lane all at the same time, then this is the tour for you!! It was a great walk with outstanding and different views of the city you have fallen in love with! Let Francesco take you out for a tour you won't forget!
