TRAVEL LIKE A PHOTOGRAPHER
Photo tours in Romania
Is PhotoTOUR for you?
There are people who travel to see places. And there are people who travel to understand them.
PhotoTOUR is for those in the second category.
It is for you if you want to learn photography in a natural way, in the middle of the journey — without complicated theory, without rush, without the pressure of “checking off” places.
If you want to discover light, understand composition, and photograph the world as you experience it — not just as you see it — then you will find a fitting rhythm here.
Travel like a photographer
When you travel like a photographer, you take the time to feel the pulse of a place — the crisp silence of a misty morning in the Transylvanian hills or the ancient charm of a Saxon fortified church.
We climb through the night to catch a breathtaking sunrise over the jagged limestone peaks of the Bucegi or Făgăraș Mountains, and quietly wait in forest hides to capture the raw majesty of the Carpathian brown bear.
From the rolling ridges of Holbav, Măgura, and Șirnea, to the living heritage of local artisans, historical steam trains, and the maze of waters in the wild Danube Delta — Romania is a treasure trove of untold stories that inspire our journeys..

The first national park in Romania, the Retezat Mountain, one of the wildest mountains in the country, but also one of the most beautiful, is the destination of our PhotoTOUR. The aim of the tour is to photograph the alpine lakes of Retezat National Park, the Bucurei Valley, an area where 8 glacial lakes are found, some of them considered to be the most beautiful in the Carpathians. 4 days spent on the mountain, waiting for the good weather that finally came and offered us a great show. A story about photos, mountains and the spectacle of nature.
