My trip to the Dolomites with Amazing Views was: A—adventurous, M—magical, A—breathtaking, Z—enchanting, I—personalized, N—nuanced, G—boundless, V—engaging, I—innovative, E—simple, W—wonderful, S—confident. Even as a complete beginner in photography, I benefited from every single person in the group. There’s no better way to get to know your camera and spark a love for photography. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Amazing Views gave me the opportunity for a week high in the Italian Dolomites with a camera and locations that are world class! It was something that I couldn't have done myself and I loved being part of the group of eight clients with two guides. All I had to do was get up pre-dawn and follow the group to the most wonderful sites. Then during the day there was plenty of time for rest before repeating it all at dusk. I can not thank my guides and fellow photographers enough for a truly brilliant week in the mountains and I would very much like to go again with this company one day.

As passionate wildlife photographers, landscape photography was new territory for us - but Amazing Views made it work perfectly. Thomas and Christina are wonderful guides, the group was fantastic, and the pumas left us speechless. The scenery and photo spots in Patagonia are simply breathtaking. And seeing the pumas was the perfect finishing touch. It is a trip we would definitely repeat immediately.

This trip was a nature experience I will never forget. A heartfelt thank you to Jennifer Brühlmann, who made this trip truly special with her warmth, passion, and exceptional intuition for her guests. No request was too much for her - we always felt completely in good hands. Thank you for unforgettable encounters with nature. I am already looking forward to my next trip with Amazing Views.

The photo tour to Costa Rica was superbly organized from start to finish. Everything went smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the trip to the fullest. The itinerary was varied, exciting, and very educational - every day brought new experiences and fantastic photo opportunities. The eye of the local photo guide was particularly impressive: he spotted even the smallest birds and repeatedly led us to great subjects. The pleasant atmosphere within the group and the professional guidance made the trip an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for all nature and photography enthusiasts!

Costa Rica captivated me from day one! The rainforest, the landscape, the nature, and especially the vibrant birdlife, which could not be more diverse. Unfortunately, the birds are very quick and it takes some practice and patience to get the perfect shot. But thanks to Jenny and Paulo, who were always there when we had questions about camera settings, we were all able to return home with many beautiful pictures and memories. Thank you so much for two incredibly wonderful weeks. I enjoyed every minute and will definitely be back. Muchas gracias Jenny and Paulo – it was amazing!

Goosebumps! Both during the trip and back home while looking through all the impressive photos! The landscapes are breathtaking, and the animals’ living conditions are truly remarkable. Daisy and David challenged and encouraged us in our photography in just the right way, and the crew spoiled us with their warm hospitality. Everything was perfectly organized. Bottom line: Svalbard is the trip of a lifetime, and it’s a privilege to be a guest on the MS Virgo and in the capable hands of this fantastic photography and ship crew.

The Svalbard trip with Daisy and the MS Virgo exceeded even my high expectations. Since I had already been to Svalbard, I knew about its magnificent landscape. A trip in April under the midnight sun promises plenty of ice, stunning lighting, and phenomenal wildlife sightings. The guidance provided by the photography team and the expedition crew was impeccable, which maximized our photo opportunities. Simply wonderful!

It was the best photography trip I have ever been on. Everything was perfectly organized. I would especially like to mention the two photographers, Daisy Gilardini and David McEown. They were always friendly, dedicated, never snobby, empathetic, helpful, and so much more! I have rarely met people who were so professional and yet so likable.

This photo tour was excellent and my expectations were exceeded. I had a really enjoyable experience overall. Amazing Views is a very professional company and wholeheartedly recommended. Thanks to Jenny, Bernard, Felix and the team for a very pleasurable trip.

Amazing experience! The Spring time in Svalbard is a photography opportunity like none other! Our expert photographer and leader Daisy Gilardini and David McEown provided a great experience for both Landscape and Wildlife Photography. First class photographers and expedition leaders, great ship experience, wonderful food and accommodation, make this a special experience. Likely to try Svalbard again!

Excellent tour of Skye and the Highlands! Many beautiful opportunities for photography with skilled guides, wonderful accommodations and local out of the way places to investigate. Nic and Jen did an outstanding job working with Scottish ever changing conditions to provide the best possible experience for photography. Really knowledgeable about local areas and beautiful views! I have done this tour twice - I would do it again!

Amazing Views definitely did a great trip with this location. Beautiful scenery, excellent accommodation and overall an excellent trip! We loved the Hebrides! We are super happy we included this tour this year! The scenery, the accommodations, the hosts, the food were wonderful! Nic and Jen did a great job co-ordinating pickups from flights, luggage and transportation and many small details. We have in turn recommended this trip to several people.

Amazing Views offer outstanding photo tours in stunning locations. The organization down to the small details is exemplary. On location they do their utmost to ensure that all participants receive the attention they need if they need it. No wonder most of the participants are return customers. Jennifer is non only very professional but also super friendly and easy to get along. She uses competent local guides and as a team they seem to magically always bring us to the right place at the right time! My recent trip in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland was outstanding. My head is still full of memories of the beautiful beaches, rock formations, lighthouses and more. Thank you!

I have already been on three tours with Amazing Views, across three different continents, and I have been absolutely thrilled every single time. Local guides take you to the best photo spots at the right time and help you capture truly amazing photos. The trips are designed for enthusiastic and ambitious amateur photographers who want to learn how to get even more out of their camera, how to compose a shot a little better and how to further optimize it during post-processing. I have learned something new on every trip and received many valuable tips on how to make my photos even better. I would gladly go again anytime!

The Outer Hebrides photo tour was a truly enriching experience for me. The wild, barren landscape and constantly changing weather allowed us to photograph in exciting light and ever-shifting conditions. Jenny and Nick guided us to the best spots and were always there to offer advice. The accommodation was perfect for this tour and we were also treated to culinary delights featuring local specialties. If you love the rugged north and Atlantic weather, I highly recommend this trip.

The photo tour to Lewis & Harris was a wonderful experience in every way! The Outer Hebrides, located in the far northwest of Scotland, are a paradise for landscape photographers with their wild and romantic scenery, rugged coastlines and sandy beaches. We also enjoyed some great food along the way. I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves landscape photography and the northern parts of Europe.

I've been to Botswana many times, but never to the Tuli Block. My expectations were exceeded in terms of wildlife (leopards, lions) and landscape after/during the rainy season. Hannes Lochner, both as a person and as a top-notch professional photographer, was a real asset. He knows an enormous amount about African wildlife, their behavior, and how to creatively capture unique moments. The accommodation, the quality of the food, and the dedication of all the camp staff made our stay completely enjoyable. We would love to return. Thank you, Amazing Views, also for the perfect organization!

This photo trip was a wonderful experience full of pleasant surprises. Every day brought something new and unexpected. Thomas' excellent support made this safari a relaxing vacation experience. We felt well looked after and cared for at all times in what was for us a foreign environment and culture. I would travel with Amazing Views again in a heartbeat.

We have already taken many trips with Amazing Views. The Masai Mara Explorer trip fits seamlessly into the other trips. Top quality, great guides, everything perfectly organized. This was our first trip to Africa on safari and we are completely thrilled. The two lodges were a dream! The highlight was the safari drives, both in the morning and in the late afternoon. The vehicles are ideal for photographers. The guides are extremely experienced in the needs of photographers. They know exactly where the ideal spot is to get the best angle and, above all, the best light to capture the scene perfectly. The trip preparation and on-site tour guide service provided by Thomas was perfect, as always with Amazing Views. Between safari drives, he took a lot of time to edit pictures with us and give us tips, and even if you needed assistance during the drives, he always had the right tips for camera settings.

At the time of the photo trip, Cuba was in a very difficult economic situation caused by the island's severe energy shortage. Despite these adverse circumstances, Amazing Views once again managed to deliver an exciting trip without any changes to the itinerary and always in complete safety. If you like street photography and travel photography, this is the place for you. The insight into the culture and, to a lesser extent, the nature of the country left nothing to be desired. The personal contacts our tour guide Peter Fischer has built up over more than 20 trips made this tour a unique experience. Pedro, who makes cigars in his small workshop behind his private room, is just one example. My expectations of the trip were fully met.

The three different destinations in Botswana offered me countless opportunities to improve my photography skills. As always with Amazing Views, everything was perfectly organized. James provided excellent support and could answer any question I had about camera settings or image editing. His vast knowledge of animal behavior is not only very helpful from a photographic point of view, but also inspiring in terms of nature and species conservation.

Ireland as you imagine it. Rough weather on the coast, but great photos. The mix on this trip leaves nothing to be desired. Coast, waterfalls, moors, lakes, deer, and wonderful forests in the most beautiful colors. Good accommodations, good food, great group. I would love to travel with Amazing Views again.

Many thanks to photo guide Jens Krauer for his availability, his artistic, graphic and linguistic skills and many thanks to Amazing Views for organizing the trip. We had a very good rapport and got along well between the team and Jens. I discovered a different Paris.

The trip was very well organized and had many wonderful moments. Even if the weather didn't always play along, Bernhard and Jennifer always knew how and where to be in order to be able to take beautiful photos in interesting places and they managed to keep the mood of the group high! Very well done!

Everything was very well organized and I felt comfortable and in good hands - thank you very much for the great week. I learned a lot and will go on a photo trip again in the future.

The combination of Daisy Gilardini and Amazing Views is unbeatable in my experience of photography trips. I have take three trips to Svalbard, Norway, with Daisy and Amazing Views. Each trip is unique, depending on the time of year we traveled, but the trips allowed me to capture incredible polar bear and other Arctic wildlife photographs. From beginning to end, the trips were carefully planned and executed. I came away from Svalbard richer in experience, and with Daisy's help, amazing wildlife photos.

It was a fantastic trip. As always with Amazing Views, the trip was very well organized and everything went smoothly. The accommodations left nothing to be desired. The mix of night photography in the hide, helicopter flights over the lakes near the lodge, and game drives in Mara North offered plenty of variety. We were also very lucky and had at least one highlight every day in terms of sightings. To top it all off, we even had a successful cheetah hunt. What more could you want! James is a very competent photo guide and was always on hand to help us with technical problems and advice on settings.

It was a new experience and a challenge for me to take photos from a hide. To wait for hours, to be quiet, to not be able to move. The great thing was that patience paid off. The bears and their cubs did their best to entertain us—with some spine-tingling moments! The trip was superbly organized, the food was always delicious, and Jenny's helpful, supportive, creative, and lovable nature made the whole week a great success!

Hannes Lochner succeeded in alleviating all my concerns about shooting with high ISO values. The result has me thrilled! It was the first time I had ever photographed from hides. What we saw, experienced, and took home with us on our memory cards surpasses everything. Staying overnight in the hides was a special experience. If at all possible, I would like to go on another trip with Hannes soon. His expertise is enormous and his patience seemingly endless. Thank you very much!

Zimanga highly impressed me with its fantastic reserve, the many animals that you can experience up close (especially elephants), and the wonderful lodge with its warm-hearted staff. The hides were a new and fascinating experience, especially the vultures in the morning. And, as always, everything was under the professional and charming leadership of Hannes. The photo trip was excellent and exceeded my expectations.

As usual, a well-organized trip, excellently guided by Hannes Lochner. Magnificent landscapes with stunning color contrasts. On two evenings, we enjoyed an exquisite dinner outdoors under the impressive starry sky. As announced, the nights were very cool, but with appropriate clothing, it was easy to endure the morning game drives and we were able to enjoy many animal and bird sightings.

“Our second photo trip with Amazing Views, and definitely not our last! Every time, we encounter highly motivated and professional guides who take us to fantastic locations. The organization is excellent overall, and at the same time, each participant is treated individually.”

My third photo tour with Amazing Views also exceeded my expectations. Our guide took us to the most beautiful photo spots in Tenerife at just the right time. One of the highlights of the trip was photographing the Milky Way. Before we got there, the theoretical foundations were laid so that we could look forward to successful pictures. The Tenerife photo tour is a trip that I can highly recommend to any nature photographer.

This Amazing Views photo trip was, as always, very well organized and well looked after by the Irish photographer Bernard and Jenny from Amazing Views. We were taken to great photo spots and the 2 days on Tory Island were particularly unique. A complete success through and through.

What a great trip to the bears in Slovenia! We had a fantastic time with great sightings - besides the bears also lots of birds, squirrels, foxes, owls...The small group was ideal - lots of laughter, interesting conversations, great togetherness and enjoyment. A huge thank you to our guide Demian - personable, passionate and always on hand with valuable professional tips. We returned with lots of great photos, but above all with wonderful impressions and unforgettable memories! Many thanks to Demian and the whole Amazing Views team for the top organization - see you next time!

A great and unforgettable week with the bears in Slovenia! Everything was superbly organized and we were well looked after at all times. The experiences with the bears exceeded my expectations and I have taken home many unforgettable impressions. The side program (in the mornings) was also very varied and we were able to pick up lots of tips and tricks for photography. A big compliment also goes to our photo guide, who always had an open ear and always responded very well to individual questions and needs. I would definitely travel with Amazing Views and our guide Demian Knobel again, a clear recommendation!

Great trip! I got what was advertised. And since Sturrall Ridge I know why it is called Photo & Adventure Tours. Spots carefully selected. There is something for everyone, even if you are a bit spoiled like me. The weather was typical for Ireland, but also produced some wonderful pictures. Certainly not my last visit to Ireland. You always get help with photography, and there is plenty of socializing too. I was also able to make lots of new friends, which is always exciting. Great trip, cool group and lots of beautiful pictures.

I really enjoyed this trip a lot and Jennifer and Bernie gave it all. It was a really cool tour that was well organized with a great crew. The group was great also and we had just a week full of laughter and fun.

This was an outstanding photo tour that exceeded my expectations. The expedition leaders and photo guide did a superb job of optimizing our opportunities, and as a result I went home with some 4 and 5-star images, in my humble opinion! I would highly recommend Amazing Views as well as Daisy Gilardini for any future photo expeditions.

In the meantime, I have experienced a number of wonderful photo trips with Amazing Views: each one more beautiful than the last. I have “arrived” with Amazing Views and always look forward to the next trip. Perfect, clear organization, carefully selected and put together trips, always excellent guides on site, exemplary, constructive support during the photo times with a high learning effect, good choice of accommodation, even after the trip you remain the focus of Amazing Views: This ambience is transferred to the group. On the last trip in particular, we had an exemplary group dynamic with incredible cohesion and the very best atmosphere. What can I say: I am always thrilled and am already planning my next trip!

breathtaking - excellent - brilliant - unique - first-class - excellent - fabulous - fantastic - ingenious - terrific - grandiose - outstanding - outstanding - heavenly - ravishing - magical - phenomenal - fabulous - sensational - dreamlike - overwhelming - stunning - indescribable - incredible - unsurpassable - wonderful - marvelous. Thank you so much Daisy, Deanna, Eirik, Thomas and the whole crew.

On our photo trip to Tuscany, we were able to photograph numerous subjects with great light. We were always there at the right time and were able to take fantastic pictures. Everything was perfectly organized and we stayed in a pleasant hotel right in Pienza. Our photo guide Peter Fischer gave us helpful tips and supported us with any questions we had. In my opinion, the trip was once again a complete success. Many thanks to the tour guide and to Amazing Views for the organization.

Sensational. It was a breathtaking journey with everything your heart could desire. The combination of fantastic landscapes and diverse wildlife was incredible, and all the locations were simply stunning in the right light. In addition, Hannes (not only as a photography expert) and Floyd were a dream team, and we had an incredible amount of fun as a group. I would have loved to stay longer.

Fantastic experience! The boat and crew were wonderful, fellow travelers were interesting and pleasant, Daisy was amazing! Our group was fortunate in that the Svalbard in the winter tour offered an opportunity to see a polar bear on pack ice many miles from "land". Seeing the world north of the 80th latitude is other-worldly. A unique experience that won't be forgotten.

I can only recommend the Lofoten and Senja Winter Dream photo trip. The spots were great and Cody and Jenny looked after us really well during the whole trip.

Great and varied photo tour through Namibia with a variety of photo spots and motifs. Brilliant support from Hannes Lochner. He accompanied us professionally and confidently throughout the entire trip and was always present and available for individual support. It could hardly have been better!

The photo trip through Namibia was an absolutely outstanding experience that I will not forget in a hurry. Every single day was a highlight - and somehow it got even better from day to day. Our tour guide and photographer Hannes Lochner was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also a great person. The organization of the trip was perfect - we did not have to worry about anything and could fully concentrate on taking pictures and enjoying ourselves. One thing is certain: this was not my last trip with this team. If you want to experience Namibia intensively and capture it photographically, you have come to the right place!

I was so happy with this photography trip to Scotland! Fantastic photography trip! Wonderful accommodations, food, excellent photo opportunities. Beautiful scenery and a well-organized trip made this tour very special. I will definitely travel with Amazing Views again in the future!

My trip to the Faroes was amazing. We experienced so many weather systems during our week there, very strong winds, snow and some sunshine. Once you immersed yourself into an ever changing weather situation that is when you got the best photo opportunities. I have never used Amazing Views before but I found them very efficient and professional in my dealing with them for this trip. I have no doubt I will use them again in the future based on my recent trip to the Faroes.

We were rarely dazzled by the sun, but instead we were buffeted by strong winds, hail and sometimes more or less heavy rain. It was intense, varied and sometimes (for me!) challenging. Wonderfully diverse photo subjects were made accessible to us. I look back on this inspiring trip with joy and great satisfaction. A big thank you goes to Jenny and Harry, who tirelessly helped us with advice and suggestions. They also kept an eye on the weather pages to protect us from heavy rain.

The mystical island of Harris and Lewis with its wonderful nature and countless beautiful subjects is perfect for a photo trip. We had fun with Jenny and Nick and I learned a lot. An all-round successful trip.

The interaction between participants and tour guides was always friendly and collegial. The weather was as it was, not always optimal. But Cody and Jenny always endeavored to take us to the best locations according to the weather and they managed this perfectly. So we were able to bring home many beautiful photos.

The entire trip was very well organized, starting with the journey from Johannesburg to the game drives, the support from the rangers and the staff at the lodge, including the food. Amazing Views can only be recommended as very good. Keep up the good work!

Amazing Views is probably the best tour operator in Switzerland. Best organization and on the road with the best wildlife photographers! Excellently selected accommodation guarantees an unforgettable experience! After every trip with fantastic sightings, you want to book the next adventure. Amazing Views is addictive. Thank you Thomas, thank you Hannes Lochner!

A great trip to the paradise of animals! As soon as you land in the middle of the Masai Mara on the way to the first camp, you get an impression of the unique landscape and the diversity of species that can be found there. With a lot of patience and perseverance, you can take great pictures of lions, leopards and cheetahs. The experienced guides always lead you to the right spot and have the right ‘nose’. The camps in the middle of the bush make the trip something special. The staff are super friendly and always on hand - anything is possible. And the tents are superbly equipped and very large - with a view of the African bush. In short: Amazing in every respect! Thank you very much for an unforgettable time in a natural paradise that rarely exists in this form.

Jennifer's photography course in Tuscany was a real highlight! Her enthusiasm and attention to detail made the workshop a unique experience. Every minute was perfectly planned - from the time spent photographing to relaxing moments in authentic Tuscan restaurants. Jennifer creates an atmosphere in which you can not only develop creatively, but also feel really comfortable. I can only recommend this course to anyone who wants to combine photography with pleasure and passion. I am already looking forward to redeeming my voucher for 2025!

As complete beginners, we signed up for the "Golden Autumn" photo trip to Slovenia without any prior knowledge. And on the very first day of our trip, we learned so much technical stuff that we could not have read in a 350-page camera textbook. And so we had a lot more fun, entertainment, delicious food, sporting activities and plenty of breathtaking photo opportunities. Our guides Jenny and Dan are such warm-hearted people who, thanks to their professional and approachable manner, not only created a great balance between us beginners and absolute experts, but also made for one of the best vacation trips we have ever been on.

Excellent preparation of the trip, exemplary organisation on site, well-chosen accommodation, perfectly selected daily programme (always plan A and B ready!). The photo tour guide was excellent, both Jenny and Dan > a super team! The physical challenge was manageable for everyone, very interestingly selected photo spots, well harmonising group with a cheerful atmosphere. In short, the trip was a complete success. A photo trip that I can only recommend to everyone: You get to know a well-kept, friendly and welcoming, cosmopolitan country with an exciting history and a beautiful landscape. It's not for nothing that it's known as the Switzerland of the Balkans and Slovenia is now an insider tip. My opinion: This country is a must-see and Amazing View offers it on a platter. Don't hesitate, join us on our next trip!

Croatia was not my first trip with Amazing Views. As always, carefully selected spots, great accommodation, what more could you want. The mix of spots especially on the trip fits well and resulted in great memories. The great composition of the group also contributed to this. The weather conditions were challenging, but also had their own charm. Forest and waterfalls in the mist, that is a nice combination.

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!

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.

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.

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 organization from 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.

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.

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!

‘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.

The Spitsbergen tour with Amazing Views gave us a close 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 the best possible 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 organization. Spitsbergen offers countless wonderful motifs for both wildlife and landscape photographers. The north keeps me under its spell!

The name "Amazing Views" was the program and accurate in every respect. From the announcement and organization 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 the fall played a major role. And they went perfectly with the impeccably organized 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 the fall 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.

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.

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.

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 characterized by many great animal encounters and beautiful scenery. I particularly remember a pair of leopard siblings, who were about a year old, playing with each other and I even managed to take a picture of the female sailing over the male. Wonderful! The wonderful morning moods were just as impressive. Antelopes and even lions presented themselves in the ground mist at sunrise! Thomas and Hannes once again took excellent care of us, and the local guides also did a great job. That makes us want more!

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.

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 organization 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!

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.

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 balanced side program 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 organized 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 learned a lot again! The accommodation was also very comfortable, nothing to complain about. I loved Ireland and would definitely recommend the trip to others. For me, there will certainly be a next time with Amazing Views!

It was a varied journey that provided impressions of Mayo, Achill Island and Connemara. Imposing coastlines, a lighthouse, lonely fishermen's huts, a pier left to decay, (sandy) beaches, a pretty harbor 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 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 gray 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 transportation, 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'll be back next year and will bridge the time in between with workshops in Switzerland.

Although I have already traveled 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 drive 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 vacation week would be!

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 behavior 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!

Words cannot describe how wonderful the Amazing Views photo adventure around Svalbard was. Fabulous landscapes, wildlife and adventures where you spend time being present in the moment not caring about anything but capturing a great photograph for memory sake, and breathing in fresh air and phenomenal views. We thoroughly recommend this trip to any photographer, whether amateur or professional.
