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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 climate in Slovenia in October is similar to the one in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. The Slovenian Alps have a typical alpine / mountain climate. In autumn sun, clouds and rain alternate constantly. Especially in the mountains the weather can change very quickly. The average temperature in October is between 6 and 15°C.
The trip is not particularly physically demanding. However, you should be fit enough to take part in moderate hikes on the local hiking trails. Some photo locations may involve hiking uphill.
This photo trip is outdoor orientated and we will spend a lot of time outdoors in nature. We recommend sturdy and well-worn hiking boots as well as appropriate outdoor clothing in layers and rainwear.
