About us

I really enjoyed the photo workshop in Zermatt. Everything was well organised and you were very helpful with any questions or problems. The group was harmonious and a pleasant size. Unfortunately, the weather did not quite meet our expectations, but we now have the tools for another time on our own. We would love to do it again another time.

A great trip to my absolute dream area in southern Africa. Nice people, relaxed atmosphere and wonderful and exciting animal sightings. Walking safaris with safe guides and unimagined photographic opportunities. I will never forget spending an afternoon up close to dozens of elephants at the waterhole. Hannes and Thomas are always on hand to help with camera settings and are also happy to discuss problems in camp. Three different destinations, very different but always with infinitely friendly staff who were happy to fulfil our wishes.

My third trip with Amazing Views in the meantime. As in 2019 and 2023, expectations were exceeded. Wild bears at short distances, sometimes as a mother-child group, sometimes as a single bear is not just a photographic experience. It was also worth sitting for a long time. The hides with prepared camera shots and a good field of vision make photography easy, especially after the first briefing after arriving in a bird hide. Special praise is due to the tour guide, who was always approachable and flexible. We will definitely be back!

Der Workshop war perfekt organisiert und wir wurden von Mel und Jenny fachkundig und sehr herzlich betreut. Auch für nicht so „gipfeltaugliche“ Teilnehmer wie mich gibt es Alternativen und grosse Unterstützung, so dass alle die Möglichkeit haben zu tollen Bildern zu kommen. Danke für die helfenden Hände! Ich bin wieder mal mit dabei.

Der Vogel-Fotoworkshop in La Sauge war super strukturiert und bot eine perfekte Mischung aus Theorie und praktischen Übungen. Der Dozent, Hansruedi Weyrich, war sehr kompetent und hat sein Wissen auf anschauliche Weise übermittelt. Ich habe nicht nur viel über die Technik gelernt, sondern auch über Geduld und das richtige Timing, um gute Aufnahmen machen zu können. Der Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten war inspirierend und das Mittagessen im Restaurant sehr lecker. Mein persönliches, (zusätzliches) Highlight war meine Erstsichtung eines Nachtreihers. Es war ein toller Workshop und ich freue mich, das Gelernte schnellstmöglich wieder in der Natur umzusetzen.

The photo trip to the lavender fields in Provence was a complete delight. Of course, the lavender fields are fantastic to look at. But photographing them in the best light with Jenny's professional and personal guidance is simply fantastic. We really were always in the right place at the right time. The trip was perfectly organised from A to Z. A big thank you to you, Jenny, for everything.

The expectations of travelling with Amazing Views are high and were fully met.
A fantastic trip with great participants and lots of fun times that we were able to spend together. The many bird and animal sightings in the best light will remain unforgettable. The highlights were the extraordinary number of jaguar sightings in Porto Jofre and the fantastic landscape at sunrise. The first night in Baiazinha, where we all shivered like castle dogs from the cold, was also unforgettable. Many thanks to Thomas, Marcos, the local guide, and the boat drivers who made it all possible.

The photo tour "Unknown Norway" has an incredible number of photo highlights to offer. It was extremely varied and had many different subjects to offer. Thanks to the midnight sun, we were out and about a lot and were able to capture fantastic light moods with our cameras. The trip is not in the usual tourist areas of Norway and that makes it particularly attractive from my point of view. Once again, everything was superbly organized, as I am used to from my last trip with Amazing Views. Everything went very smoothly. I'm already looking forward to my next photo trip.

Im Workshop ging es gleich ohne Theorieblock an die Umsetzung der Fotografie im Gelände. Das Zusammenarbeiten mit dem Kursleiter Demian Kobel und dem Ranger Matthias fand ich super. Der Ranger hat uns zu den Wisenten geführt und dabei viele Informationen über diese interessanten Wildtiere und das Projekt gegeben. Während uns Demian mit fototechnischen Ratschlägen zur Seite stand. Während der Ranger auf die Suche nach den Wisenten ging, hat Demian uns Ratschläge und Tipps zum Fotografieren geben. Sowohl Demian wie auch der Ranger sind immer sehr gut auf die Fragen der Teilnehmer eingegangen. So war das "Kursklima" sehr angenehm und es machte einfach nur viel Freude. Ich kann den Kurs nur weiterempfehlen - war super genial! Vielen Dank Demian und Matthias.

In the early hours of the morning, when foxes, deer and hares felt safe in the middle of the road, the Amazing Views photo group challenged them for the ‘field’. On the way to the sunrise, to marvellous stretches of coast and beach, to the lighthouse and pier and to real carpets of bluebells. The delicate spring greenery competed with the bluebells and wild garlic to the delight of our eyes. A wonderfully varied week of photography, which I can only recommend, lies behind me. Jenny and Jack could not have provided us with better support and photography. Jenny was always there to help with technical problems and give suggestions, Jack was a tireless motivator and counsellor.

Thanks to the perfect photo guide with great knowledge of the location and weather, we were always in the right place at the right time and used the changing weather to our advantage. Epic locations and capricious weather made for great pictures and great experiences with thrills. The professional support and the ideal group size rounded off the harmonious overall package.

Mir hat der Kurs wirklich viel gebracht. Dies wie ich gewünscht hatte, auch mit der neuen Kamera. Es ist meiner Ansicht nach sehr wichtig zu wissen, auf was geschaut werden kann und wie man dies anwendet. Gut waren auch die abgegebenen Kursunterlagen mit den am Kurs erklärten Einzelheiten. So hat man immer ein Nachschlagewerk zur Hand. Besten Dank an Susanne Venditti und das Amazing Views Team für die gute Organisation.

My expectations for this trip were very high, as I had already travelled to Namibia three times before as a self-driver. In the end, I flew home with many unforgettable impressions and my expectations were exceeded by far! A perfectly organised trip with great accommodation, scenic highlights and a fascinating animal world (whether Little Five or Big Five) - from the first to the last day. There was a lot of input from Hannes on how to take the perfect photo, so that at the end everyone flew home with successful photos in their luggage. This trip definitely makes you want more! A big thank you to Jenny and Thomas for the great organisation and Hannes for the great support on site. It was great fun travelling with you. The next trip is already planned...

Thanks to the great all-round organisation and perfect local and weather knowledge of Jenny and Nick, it was a varied trip in a fascinating landscape! Always in the best place on the islands at the right time, always competent and helpful with questions about everything from photography to image processing, perfect group size and including a culinary pampering programme - what more could you want? Thank you for this great experience! I look back fondly on the eventful and varied days with my impressive pictures. The islands are definitely worth a visit!

Great locations. Good group size. In the right place at the right time. Always an answer to questions about motifs, technique or picture ideas. A nice group of fellow photographers and all-round carefree photo support and organisation by Jenny. All this in combination with delicious Italian cuisine in hand-picked restaurants - what more could you want? Thank you, Jenny!

Our expectations were more than exceeded. On our trip to the beautiful Pantanal to see the breathtaking jaguars, we were well looked after by photo guide Thomas. As less experienced photographers, we were able to benefit enormously. Thomas took the time to explain the correct camera settings to us. And then gave us lots of tips on how to get the most out of the pictures with the right photo editing. This, coupled with the best spots and ideal lighting conditions and a great group, rounded off the experience.

It could not have been better: Super group - incredible jaguar and other animal sightings, competent and cheerful tour guide. A trip that will remain unforgettable.

‘Unknown Norway’, this year for the first time as a photo tour in the Amazing Views programme, was very well organised and smoothly executed. The travel programme sent in advance with lots of information and detailed recommendations for packing lists and photographic equipment aroused my curiosity and expectations. In short, it was perfect: the planning and the photographic and travel support were highly professional and hitch-free. The group worked extremely well as a team and I enjoyed a great week with them. My special thanks go to Cody who generously looked after us all week, acted as a safe driver and took us to all the wonderful places I had never been before. It was my 4th photo trip with Amazing Views and once again my expectations were exceeded.

Dies war mein dritter Workshop mit Amazing View und es wird nicht mein letzter sein. Die Workshops sind super gut organisiert, werden immer von wundervollen und sehr fachkompetenten Menschen geführt. Bisher hatte ich auch immer grossartiges Wetter an den Workshops und tolle Erlebnisse. Die Bilder, die ich jeweils mitnehmen kann, bereiten mir grosse Freude. Dazu kommen die vielen kleinen Extras, die sich das Team von Amazing View einfallen lässt, Kundenservice pur. Merci vielmal!

Great photo locations on the island west of Scotland. Wonderful accommodation and perfect organisation by Amazing Views. Jennifer on site took care of everything the traveller could wish for. Nick the great local guide showed us the coolest locations in all weathers. Definitely a trip to recommend.

The trip to Dorset clearly exceeded my expectations. It goes without saying that a bit of luck was involved. A good mix of spots on the coast and inland and then, for me, the bluebells in the woods were an absolute stroke of luck. Good spots, nice new acquaintances, good food and a lot learnt. What more could you want? Gladly again.

My photo trip to Dorset was a real feast for the senses! Between majestic coastlines and idyllic landscapes, we discovered a world of beauty. The bluebells and wild garlic were in full bloom and provided a magical backdrop for some great shots. Jenny and Jack guided us through this picturesque landscape with their unrivalled expertise and passion. Thank you Amazing Views for an unforgettable trip full of magical moments, blooming bluebells and delicious afternoon tea! Hope to see you again soon.

Travelling with Amazing Views and their photo guides is perfect. Not only are we at the photo hotspots at the right time, we also get great professional advice and support. And peace and quiet when the rest of the masses of tourists are out and about. The support was unrivalled. We were in very good and experienced hands with both Hannes and Floyd. Hannes was perfect and had a lot of patience with us. He was happy to pass on his knowledge and it went down well with us. He is a very enthusiastic photographer himself and this rubbed off well on the group. The length of the trip was perfect, there were many new impressions and experiences that I still have to digest, so longer would almost be too much of a good thing. I loved the trip, despite the sometimes very early hour.

Sehr gut organisierter Workshop mit einem erfahrenen, hilfsbereiten Kursleiter, der viele gute Tipps gegeben hat. Er konnte die Teilnehmer gut mit ihren Bedürfnissen und Hemmschwellen abholen. Der Kursort sehr nahe am Hauptbahnhof Zürich war super.

Dass die Streetfotografie auch mit Menschen zu tun hat, war mir schon klar. Aber dass der Mensch auf der Strasse dann so im Zentrum des Workshops steht, war für mich eine grosse Herausforderung. Nahe herangehen, Risiko eingehen, Komfortzone verlassen, sich quasi unsichtbar machen. Gleichzeitig auf die Bildgestaltung achten und die Kamera auch noch richtig bedienen. Anspruchsvolle Aufgabenkombination! Von Jens Krauer aber unglaublich angenehm und hochkompetent vermittelt und in der Praxis draussen auf der Strasse unter seiner Begleitung erprobt. Dank der kleinen Gruppe kommt man dann auch wirklich dazu. Man darf von Jens' Erfahrung einfach profitieren. Und wenn man dann bemerkt, dass Fotos entstehen, die man vorher wahrscheinlich so nicht gemacht hätte, was will man mehr? Dann hat sich die Überwindung des mulmigen Gefühls beim Annähern an die Motive gelohnt! Absolut empfehlenswerter Workshop, der mich weiter gebracht und die eigene Komfortzone deutlich spüren, aber auch überschreiten lassen hat.

Der Kurs hat mir gut gefallen. Der Theorieteil war nicht zu lang, ca 3 Stunden und sehr kurzweilig mit vielen Tips. Der Praxis Teil ist dann nicht zu kurz ausgefallen, wir hatten viel Zeit um zu üben und Fragen zu stellen. Danach wurden unsere Bilder noch einmal in der Gruppe besprochen, so konnte ich noch einmal vom Feedback profitieren. Alle drei Teile fand ich sehr interessant und haben mir gefallen. Jens hat sich viel Zeit genommen und ist mit Einzelpersonen und Gruppen auf die Probleme und Unklarheiten eingegangen.

I was able to travel to the south of Botswana with Amazing Views in October 2021. The game reserve in the Tuli Block surprised us with unique sightings. In addition to lions, elephants and a wild cat with its cub, we were able to enjoy several leopard sightings. Playful in the flowering Raintree, having fun with a feather, sneaking up on a prey - nothing was missing. Not forgetting the exciting ‘sessions’ in the Hide. Thank you Thomas and Hannes, it was a pure pleasure to be able to share these experiences with you.

What a fantastic trip. The Faroe Islands offer incredible photo opportunities: jagged cliffs, waterfalls, blue fjords, wild and rugged coastlines and ever-changing weather and light moods. Together with the perfect organisation by Amazing Views and the friendly tour guide Jenny and Bernard, it was an unforgettable week. I would book again in a heartbeat.

In April 2022, my husband and I went on a photo expedition around Spitsbergen on the M/S Virgo. An absolutely extraordinary trip with great impressions of a fantastic Arctic and touching wildlife encounters that we will not forget for a long time. A big thank you goes to Jenny and Daisy for their excellent support. They always had an open ear for the participants, questions were always gladly answered and there was never a shortage of fun. The M/S Virgo is an absolutely brilliant ‘starting point’ for photo expeditions, as everything is very well tailored to the needs of photographers. As I took photographs myself and my husband accompanied the trip as a non-photographer, we were initially sceptical about what it would be like for our partner travelling with a group of photographers. He was very well integrated by Jenny, Daisy, the guides and fellow travellers and certainly had just as much fun as I did. We often think back to the trip and always say to ourselves ‘What we were able to experience there’... Thank you again!

I had to wait 2 years for this workshop. But it was worth it. Ireland and its landscapes are simply beautiful. The whole thing was rounded off by a friendly group and great guides who kept us on our toes. Despite a lack of sleep, we arrived home happy, satisfied and with lots of great impressions and pictures. A big thank you to Jenny and Bernard for this all-round successful trip!

Ein Fotoworkshop im Tierpark tönt auf den ersten Blick nicht spektakulär... Aber: der Mix aus Theorie am Tisch mit Fragerunde und Diskussion in der kleinen Gruppe - und dann Praxis direkt nebenan bei den Bären, den Wölfen, dem Luchs, etc. war für mich perfekt! Mein Ziel für den Workshop waren nicht perfekte Fotos von wilden Tieren, sondern meine Kamera für die Tierfotografie besser zu verstehen und richtig zu bedienen. Und dieses Ziel konnte ich dank Amazing Views, einmal mehr erreichen...! Herzlichen Dank an Thomas & Team!

‘Zimanga in Focus’ scores with numerous highlights: flawless organisation, a comfortable lodge that also has something to offer in terms of cuisine, excellent photographic support from Hannes Lochner and versatile hide sessions and game drives that allow for spectacular images. There is even a good dose of adrenaline (close encounter with cheetahs). However, there is one thing you can not expect: a lot of sleep. Beach holidays are better suited to that... A photo trip that I can recommend to anyone, whether you are a beginner or an ambitious photographer.

Der Workshop Vogelfotografie mit Hansruedi Weyrich ist sehr praxisbezogen. Tipps und Tricks werden auf eine sympathische Art vermittelt und sind sofort erfolgreich umsetzbar. Der Kursinhalt ist auf Anfänger wie auch für Fortgeschrittene zugeschnitten und die Kursleiter sind mit allen Marken von Fotokameras vertraut. Die abgegebenen Unterlagen sind sehr nützlich.

The Spitsbergen tour with Amazing Views gave us a close-up immersion into the wildlife world that I would not have thought possible. When I signed up for this trip I thought, so few days for so much money. That changed completely. Every single day seemed like a fulfilling eternity. It's hard to believe how every sense of time dissolved. We were in this incredibly special world, in Spitsbergen, for a long, long time.

Amazing Views, Nansen Polar Expeditions, Daisy Gilardini and David McEown provided a great experience. Many thanks to the team for giving us such an exceptional experience and providing us with optimal opportunities to photograph the wonderful wildlife from the best possible vantage points. This trip will be remembered for the high standards that were always met.

Daisy Gilardini, supported by the excellent team from Nansen Polar Expeditions led by Audun and Martin, delivered a unique and unrivalled photographic experience. The MV Villa is a safe ship in ice-filled waters and provides excellent meals every day. Our expedition had no set itinerary - the expedition leader and Daisy consulted daily on the route to give us the best photo opportunities.

Daisy Gilardini is a first class photographer and an excellent photography teacher. She was able to explain some photographic principles to me in a way that I could understand and improve my photos. Her husband, David McEown, is a gifted painter. Daisy and David are two of the most talented and creative tour guides I have ever met and I feel very lucky to have travelled with them.

This was my second trip with Amazing Views and I highly recommend it! Jennifer handled the uncertainty of the lavender being harvested early this season with grace and professionalism. It was a great trip.

A successful photo trip, great photo spots and perfect timing. Thanks to Jenny's good preparation, we were always in the right place at the right time. The motifs were well worth getting up early for. Highly recommended!

The trip on the MV Villa to the fjords of Spitsbergen is unforgettable. Daisy and Dave are great guides and they shared their great knowledge and expertise with us. We were very lucky to have a polar bear family (mother and 2 cubs) share their family life with us for a day. I will also remember the encounters with the other animals (walruses, seals, arctic foxes etc.) and the beautiful landscape. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

I have already done some excellent trips and workshops with Amazing Views. However, the photo expedition to Spitsbergen went one better. We spent 10 intensive days on board the cosy Origo with full professional support - in terms of photography, cuisine and organisation. Spitsbergen offers countless wonderful motifs for both wildlife and landscape photographers. The north keeps me under its spell!

After a few months in which my camera lay almost unused in the cupboard, I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Zermatt workshop with Amazing Views. Jennifer and Mel's kind and helpful manner, the spectacular surroundings and the great motifs made this workshop a great experience for me, from which I took away and learnt a lot. I really liked the fact that the workshop was very comprehensive, covering everything from camera settings and the use of filters, landscape photography and night photography to RAW development and image editing. Mel and Jenny were always on hand with an open ear and help and advice. They were intensive and incredibly instructive days in beautiful surroundings, from which I learnt a lot and hope to see you at a workshop again soon.

Zermatt offers the perfect backdrop to showcase the majestic Matterhorn, whether at night framed by a fantastic starry sky or as a reflection in one of the mountain lakes. Thanks to the excellent organisation, you spend the night very close to the photo spots and have relatively short distances - but due to the altitude, you should be in good physical condition. The workshop was also characterised by the small size of the group, which was accompanied by two professional photographers. Thank you for two very impressive days.

Individuelle Begleitung in der Gruppe, viel Freude und Wissen und Spass. Professionelle Begleitung - herzlichen Dank für den inspirierenden Tag.

The name ‘Amazing Views’ was the programme and true in every respect. From the announcement and organisation of the trip, to the choice of accommodation, the tour guide and the choice of locations, everything was perfect. Of course, the weather and the chosen time of the trip in autumn played a major role. And they went perfectly with the impeccably organised photo tour. The size of the group was very pleasant and allowed everyone to be looked after according to their individual needs. The tour participants' suggestions and wishes were also taken into account. I can recommend a photo tour with Amazing Views to the island of Senja in autumn in every respect, although basic photographic knowledge and a good level of physical fitness are an advantage.

It was my first photo trip to Africa. The diverse - and, thanks to the driving skills of the guides, close-up - encounters in the private game reserve were impressive: leopards, cheetahs, lions, hyenas, jackals, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, monkeys, bee-eaters, eagles, vultures and much more. We also had an excellent photo guide with us in Hannes Lochner, who was able to share a lot of his experiences with us. That makes you want more!

Our polar bear experience in Churchill was incredible. Our photo guide taught us so much and was able to help us take great photos. I enjoyed this trip so much that I am considering travelling back next year. It's worth every penny!

Great experience! Thank you Amazing Views and Daisy Gilardini for a first class photo experience. Daisy's experience and helpfulness, her passion for a great photo experience made this trip so special. She is just as genuine and kind as I had hoped and her professionalism is exceptional!

The photo tour ‘Botswana up close’ exceeded all my expectations. I was able to experience and photograph countless unforgettable moments. Hannes' professional guidance was brilliant. Everything ‘around’ with a super lodge, extremely good safari guides and the cosy group made this trip the perfect experience. Thank you. Can only recommend this to everyone.

Ein Workshop steht und fällt mit dem Kursleiter / der Kursleiterin. Susanne vermittelt ihr Wissen auf lockere, sympathische und professionelle Art und Weise. Sie nimmt sich für jeden Teilnehmer viel Zeit und steht mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung. Der Nachmittag im Wald bei den Märzenbechern verging wie im Flug und ich ging einfach nur glücklich nach Hause. Danke Amazing Views, der Makrokurs war für mich ein Volltreffer.

Thanks to Jenny and Cody, despite the bad weather we were always in a place where the sun provided a great lighting mood for a short time. Jenny and Cody are a well-rehearsed team who took care of everything for us so that we could concentrate on taking pictures. The tips and tricks on image composition and editing were also very valuable. I can highly recommend the photo trip to the Lofoten Islands with Amazing Views. I'm looking forward to the next photo trip with you.

This photo trip was top in all respects - the guides, the food, the locations, the group. What more could you want?

It was my first photo trip and definitely not the last! It was an unforgettable experience for me. From the beginning to the end of the trip, we were accompanied by Jenny and Nick, who were always helpful and friendly. I didn't have that much photography experience and was able to learn a lot of new things from them during the week. They were able to pass on their photographic knowledge to me in an understandable way. With their help, I was able to achieve the goals I had set myself before the trip. Our accommodation also left nothing to be desired! In my opinion, the fantastic dinner that we enjoyed every evening deserves a special mention! I find what the three ladies conjured up in the kitchen every day incredible. I looked forward to ending the day with the whole group and good food every evening. My conclusion: It was worth every cent and I would book another trip with Amazing Views in a heartbeat!

Stunning nature and fantastic light showed me the beauty of the Isle of Skye and brought me a lot of joy and satisfaction with the superbly organised trip to the north of Scotland. I never thought I would be able to take such beautiful photos. This is of course thanks to our photo leader Nick, who contributed with a lot of local knowledge and many years of photographic experience. Although it was an intensive few days, I would recommend the trip to anyone.

My fifth trip to the Outer Hebrides with Amazing Views has once again confirmed that the overall package on offer (photo spots, hotel, local guide, a perfect group and, last but not least, Jenny as ‘tour guide’) is hard to beat. Starting with the comprehensive information before the trip, the daily organisation of the photo spots, which were not easy thanks to the local guide, also because of the constantly changing weather conditions, the persistent and always available support from Jenny and Nick, the comfortable and safe transport from the hotel to the photo spots to the hotel itself (ambience and cuisine), this trip is a very special experience.

Those who are not afraid of windy, damp and cool weather will be rewarded with the most spectacular, wild and lonely coastal landscapes in Europe on the Faroe Islands. Bernard, the professional photographer and guide from Ireland who knows the Faroe Islands inside out, and Jenny Brühlmann from Amazing Views are the best guarantee that every participant will take home the maximum number of experiences and great pictures. The fact that fun is not neglected is the icing on the cake.

Ein Workshop, der dich von Anfang an in den Bann zieht. Gute Mischung zwischen Theorie und Praxis mit den notwendigen Feedbacks von Hansruedi. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Der Workshop Vogelfotografie im BirdLife-Naturzentrum La Sauge bietet einen ausgewogenen Mix von Theorie und Praxis. Unter kundiger Betreuung und einem regen Austausch mit anderen Teilnehmenden konnten wunderbare Bilder gemacht werden. Ich kann diesen Workshop jedem vogel- und naturinteressierten Fotografen bestens empfehlen.

Grosses Dankeschön an Hansruedi Weyrich für seine Präsentation, die Tipps und Hilfe beim Fotografieren. Mein Wunsch, den Eisvogel in gutem Licht und Position abzulichten, ging in Erfüllung. Danke euch für die Organisation.

Experiencing Provence with great, like-minded people was a real highlight. The endless, undulating, purple-coloured fields are truly a feast for the eyes and the scent associated with them is simply beguiling. A real benefit for participants is the shared enthusiasm for photography, the trained eye for exceptional motifs and, last but not least, the great commitment of the tour guide, who spares no effort and leaves nothing to chance in order to offer the best that is possible on site. A perfectly organised photo tour down to the last detail. Jenny personally visited the many beautiful lavender locations on the day before our arrival and made it possible for us to photograph the most beautiful fields far and wide at the best time and in the best light. This photo trip is definitely worth recommending. Thank you Amazing Views.

Wenn die Steinböcke genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt erscheinen und sich im besten Licht posieren, ich mich entscheiden muss, ob ich nun den Regenbogen mit der umwerfenden Landschaft oder die Tiere fotografiere, dann weiss ich, dass ich mit Amazing Views unterwegs bin. Es hat von A-Z alles bestens geklappt. Die umsichtige Begleitung und Betreuung von Mel und Jenny habe ich sehr geschätzt. Es war gut spürbar, wie wichtig ihnen das war. Beide Kursleiter waren mit Herzblut dabei. Herzlichen Dank nochmals und bis zum nächsten Mal.

Wie immer TOP Workshop und grosses Kompliment and die 2 Guides Jenny & Mel. Voller Einsatz, tolle Location und das Wetter hatte ja auch mitgespielt inklusive dem Auftritt der Steinböcke. Nicht zu vergessen eine tolle Gruppe und alles bestens organisiert. DANKE!

Für mich war es das erste Mal, dass ich mit Amazing Views unterwegs war. Mich hat der Workshop ab der ersten Minute bis zur letzten Minute überzeugt. Super Locations, perfekte Organisation und super professionelle Workshopleitung durch Jenny und Ralf. Das frühe Aufstehen und späte zu Bett gehen hat sich mehr als gelohnt.

On the Pantanal trip in July 2023, the biodiversity impressed me the most. The jaguars were great, lying in wait for caimans along the rivers and swimming across the river in front of us. Beautiful animals! But also impressive were the giant otters, which even put a jaguar to flight. We also encountered a swimming tapir. The many bird species - kingfishers, herons, giant storks, hawks, cormorants, etc. - always offered great motifs. - offered great motifs again and again. We were competently accompanied by Thomas and Marcos, who shared a lot of his knowledge about the animals with us. Everything was well organised. A rewarding trip!

The Zambia trip in June 2023 was marked by many great animal encounters and beautiful scenery. I especially remember a pair of leopards, about one year old, who were playing with each other and I even managed to take a picture of the female sailing over the male. Wonderful! Equally impressive, however, were the beautiful morning scenes. Antelopes and even lions presented themselves in the ground fog at sunrise! Once again, Thomas and Hannes took excellent care of us, and the local guides also did a good job. This makes us want to do more!

Die Schönheit des Haslitals und des Sustenpasses ist atemberaubend. Hühnerhautmomente gabs, als wir in stockfinsterer Nacht die Milchstrasse fotografierten und in nächster Nähe ein Hirsch röhrte. Jenny‘s spannender Theorie-Support im Vorfeld und vor allem vor Ort ist immer hilfreich und wohlwollend, ich habe wieder einiges gelernt. Organisation, Transporte, Hotels einfach perfekt! Super auch, dass das Programm je nach Wetterbedingungen kurzfristig umgestellt wird, so dass jede/r mit einer Fülle an tollen Bildern nach Hause kann. Prädikat „unbedingt empfehlenswert“!

Der Fotoworkshop war genial, beste Betreuung durch Jennifer und Leslie. Alles war zum Besten, die Unterkunft, die Frühstücksbüffets und das gemütliche Zusammensitzen. Einfach cool, sehr zu empfehlen auch für nicht ganz junge Fotografen. Die Fotospots waren perfekt, diese waren sogar per Auto erreichbar. Herzlichen Dank!

Jenny und Ralf haben mit den Drumlins einen Workshop an einem magischen Ort durchgeführt. Die lockere und sympathische Art sowie die Kompetenz der beiden hat mir geholfen, wirklich coole Fotos zu machen. Ich kann diesen Workshop wirklich nur empfehlen.

Travelling to North Wales in November is a daring combination. But for a photographer it was a paradise, we had extreme weather but also just as much luck. The capricious weather resulted in great moods and excellent pictures. For me, it was a great and successful trip. Superbly organised and with Jenny and Nick two guides who led us through all situations and to the most beautiful spots. It was nice that we only stayed in one hotel. This made travelling more relaxed as we didn not have to pack again and again. Conclusion: a successful trip, great pictures, pleasant acquaintances.

Herzlichen Dank, Jenny und Ralf für einen weiteren spannenden und abwechslungsreichen Workshop im wunderschönen Engadin! Neben den bekannteren Top-Locations besuchten wir auch nicht so bekannte Geheimtipps dank ortskundigen Foto-Guides :-) Das Timing des Workshops war perfekt mit der Lärchenfärbung abgestimmt, so dass - wie immer mit Amazing Views - meine Erwartungen in jeder Beziehung absolut erfüllt und übertroffen wurden. Auch die Organisation war wie immer top - absolut empfehlenswert!! Bis zum nächsten Mal! :-)

The enchanting Tuscany in late autumn, the picturesque villages and small towns of the region, the unmistakable charm of "Bella Italia" in culture and gastronomy and the perfect organisation and support by Amazing Views / Jenny from start to finish. In other words: This photo tour is simply not to be missed. It is a "must" for every photo enthusiast and landscape lover.

Fancy a photo detour to an abandoned slate mine? (A little strenuous, but very interesting.) Or would you prefer a filigree cast-iron pier as a photo subject? (Opened in 1878 and no less than 376 metres long.) Are you interested in windswept lighthouses? Or rather a mighty castle from the 13th century? The very varied photo tour "Wales and Snowdonia" has it all. On top of that, there is a diverse landscape to marvel at, babbling brooks, and, and, and. I really appreciate the fact that I learnt a lot thanks to the always patient and professional photographic support. A big thank you for all the suggestions and tips, especially to Jenny, but also to Nick. Photography is fun!

Sehr gut organisiert. Herzlicher Empfang und interessante Kurzinfo. Ideal mit der Zusatzperson als Fachmann der Tiere. Hat sich gelohnt für die spannenden Infos und wegen dem Verhalten bei den Tieren! Immer da zum Fragen beantworten, tolle Gruppe, ideales Wetter. Rundum ein total gelungener Workshop!

Mein erster Workshop „ Spektakuläre Bergwelt im Haslital“ mit Amazing Views hat mich vom ersten Moment an überzeugt. Der Workshop war sehr gut strukturiert und von Jenny professionell geleitet und geführt. Jederzeit konnte ich von ihrem grossen Wissen profitieren. Mit ihrer ruhigen und geduldigen Art hat sie mich immer unterstützt und mir geholfen. Alles hat bestens geklappt. Danke vielmals! Ich freue mich bereits schon auf ein nächstes Abenteuer.

Do you want to experience a great trip where you can fully concentrate on taking photos and experiencing wonderful moments? Then Amazing Views is the right place for you. Everything was perfectly organised on our Lofoten trip. Jenny and Cody looked after us wonderfully throughout the whole trip. Thanks to them both, we got the best out of the most varied weather conditions. As a great bonus, I was able to meet some wonderful new colleagues during the week. To summarise: we had a wonderful time with lots of unique pictures....you guys are amazing.

Ich war sehr zufrieden und habe im Grundlagenkurs sehr vieles gelernt. Es war sehr persönlich, da wir eine kleine Gruppe waren. Dies fand ich sehr angenehm. Es war eine gute Balance von Praxis und Theorie. Die Länge des Kurses war ebenfalls gut. Ralf war ein guter Lehrer. Die Grundlagen des manuellen Fotografierens verstehe ich nun ebenfalls. Es ist ein super Kurs, um ins Fotografieren einzusteigen.

Once again an extraordinary trip with amazing views that is hard to beat - simply amazing! In addition to the many great bear sightings, Jenny had a well-balanced side programme for photography up her sleeve. We received excellent theoretical and practical support and motivation for a whole week. The trip was a win-win for me, thank you very much!

It was a great photo tour in a country that is a little overlooked but offers great scenic opportunities. The guides are very knowledgeable and the places we went to are great. As always, everything is perfectly organized so we only have to focus on taking pictures. Highly recommended.

The trip was well organised and in my opinion we were always in the right place at the right time. The photo spots were great! Different options were sometimes offered so that everyone could choose the right one. I personally really appreciated that. Our photo guides Ralf and Bernard did a great job! They were always helpful and friendly and drove us safely to our destination, even on the long days. I learnt a lot again! The accommodation was also very comfortable, nothing to complain about. I loved Ireland and would definitely recommend the trip to others. I will certainly be travelling with Amazing Views again next time!

It was a varied journey that conveyed impressions of Mayo, Achill Island and Connemara. Imposing coastlines, a lighthouse, lonely fishermen's huts, a pier left to decay, (sandy) beaches, a pretty harbour town, stone walls that divide the land and at the same time give a ‘face’ to the lush green meadows with grazing sheep, to name just a few examples. Incidentally, the weather was a sky-blue colour and there was no shortage of rainbows. Bernard, the man on site, made sure that we were in the right place at the right time: Early in the morning by the mirror-smooth lake or at an exciting spot for the sunset, but also in a nice coffee house with really good coffee. Or in a restaurant with fine food. Thanks to Jenny, Bernard and Felix, I'm no longer at war with grey filters and I've acquired a taste for long exposures. I would never have thought. It's wonderful that you can always count on support. Thank you very much for all the suggestions and tips.

My trip to Ireland, Connemara and Mayo, was my second trip with Amazing Views. This trip was accompanied by Jenny (founder and managing director of Amazing Views) and local photographer Bernard Geraghty. The very harmonious collaboration between the two, their intimate knowledge of the landscapes combined with the local weather conditions and the clear and detailed sharing of their expertise are the basis for a very successful trip. The flawless planning of the journey, local transport, the choice of hotels and lunch/dinner/coffee spots provide a great recreational value. This trip is unique due to the combination of great photo locations and the insight into Irish culture. I will be back next year and will bridge the time in between with workshops in Switzerland.

Although I have already travelled to Ireland a few times, the wild west of the Emerald Isle surprised me with more great spots, which were visited at the best time thanks to the very competent tour guides Jenny and Bernard. Nevertheless, the trip is not set up as a hectic journey criss-crossing the county, but also leaves enough time to relax. I also got to know lots of great cafés again :) ...and that's exactly how I imagined my holiday week would be!

Ich war nun zum vierten Mal mit Amazing Views unterwegs. Wir hatten viel Glück mit dem Wetter im Engadin und konnten die tolle Landschaft mit den gelben Lärchen von der blauen Stunde am Morgen bis zur blauen Stunde am Abend mit der Kamera einfangen. Wir wurden von Jenny und Ralf sehr individuell bei all unseren Fragen beraten und gegen kalte Finger am Morgen und Abend hatten unsere Kursleiter mit heissem Kaffee fürsorglich vorgesorgt. Es war ein toller Kurs mit vielen neuen Ideen zum Fotografieren und tollen Bildern.

The careful selection of locations/lodges and the extremely knowledgeable and professional local guide made the trip through parts of Botswana a real highlight. The photographer James Clifford knows the places and positions where the animals can be put in the right light and imparts a lot of interesting information about the nature and behaviour of the animals in this unique environment. I returned home with many great pictures and numerous unique impressions.

The photo tour to Zimbabwe is magnificent! Unique experiences with wildlife at close quarters are guaranteed in Hwange and Mana Pools National Park. The accommodation is all in great locations and the service in the lodges/camps is excellent. Thomas and Hannes looked after us very well and also gave us lots of photographic tips so that our photos were real highlights. In the free time between the game drives we were also able to benefit from them when editing our photos. Thank you very much!

I had a dream; to see and photograph a polar bear in the wild once in my life. So I set out on this adventure with Amazing Views. What I experienced is unsurpassable: accompanying and photographing a polar bear in the Zodic....it was a magical moment that turned into hours!!!! In addition I also had the chance to photograph walruses, sea lions and beautiful landscapes. My big thanks go to Jenny and Daisy for their so benevolent way of accompanying me and to the whole crew of the Virgo. The 10 days went by in a flash and I can only say THANK YOU and my dream came true.

The Outer Hebrides photo trip was my fourth trip with Amazing Views and my expectations were exceeded yet again, especially on this trip. In short, it was an unforgettable photographic experience week with a great and fun group in a time-honoured Highland Lodge with excellent cuisine! Jenny and Nick were always on hand with their photographic knowledge to answer any questions we had. Depending on the weather, time of day and light conditions, Nick took us to wonderful and secluded photo spots. And what I really appreciated: The perfect preparation and follow-up of the photo trips by Amazing Views! Many thanks to Jenny and Nick for the unforgettable week!

We had to wait a long time before we could finally travel to Patagonia. But it was worth it in every respect. What an incredible 10 days we experienced in this unique landscape! Perfectly guided by Thomas Brühlmann, Cristina Harboe and the other local guides, we were able to let off steam photographically. But the highlight was definitely the 3 days of puma tracking. Here we were able to benefit from Rodrigo Moraga's many years of knowledge and photograph the animals at almost arm's length. I would love to go there again right away!
