What is a Private Photo Tour?
It´s an experience in which a Professional Photographer who also has experience guiding tours will guide your group on a predesigned route that covers iconic places in Puerto Vallarta that make the perfect backdrop for your photos. Meet your guide, click here.
In this tour it´s only you and your companions.
Where does it take place?
The route has been designed to walk though iconic places in Puerto Vallarta Downtown and Old Town neighborhoods that make the perfect backdrop for your photos.
Why does the Private Photo Tour begin at 8 am?
- Natural light at this time of the morning is the most flattering.
- There is also very little people walking on the designed route which will translate in better cleaner photos.
- We can never assure you there won’t be anyone but you and your party in every shot, but doing it at that time will increase the chances.
- The heat and humidity are very low early in the morning so you won’t have to worry about sweating during this Photo Tour.
Who should take a Private Photo Tour?
Groups of friends, family, co-workers, etc. who want to have photos taken along a pre-designed route full of fun and interesting shots.
If you have special request or need then a book a Private Photo Shoot.
What´s the difference between a Private Photo Tour and a Private Photo Shoot?
In a Private Photo Tour you are taken through a predesigned route. It´s only you and your party.
In a Private Photo Shoot you get to pick where to go and what to do. There are many packages to choose from depending on party size, duration and location(s) chosen. Click here to see more details.
