From initial contact to the final photographs, this was a brilliant experience. Vasilis responded very quickly to my initial enquiry, and we were able to arrange a date for the night photography tour during our short visit to Athens. He picked us up promptly from our hotel (my wife joined me as well) and immediately made us both feel welcome. He had even taken the time to look at my website and learn about me and my photography, which was a thoughtful touch. Vasilis is a highly knowledgeable and accomplished photographer with many years of professional experience. He is also an excellent coach and mentor. Throughout the evening, he suggested a variety of locations that perfectly captured the character of Athens and offered fresh perspectives on composition and image-making. His advice was incredibly helpful, inspiring, and motivating. As we travelled between locations, Vasilis shared fascinating insights into the history of Athens, which was an unexpected bonus and added greatly to the overall experience. He is a great character - friendly, engaging, and a lot of fun to spend time with - but above all, he delivers an outstanding photography experience. Although I am an experienced photographer, I learned a wealth of new techniques and skills, and I am delighted with the images I came away with. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced photographer, Vasilis will help take your photography to the next level, and you’ll have a great deal of fun along the way. Would I book another of his tours? Absolutely - without hesitation. Is it value for money? Absolutely 👍Posted on Google Spongebob SquarepantsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vasilis is a charming person to be around. We felt very comfortable doing the photoshoot as he took us to hidden places that were not so touristic in Athens. He cracks jokes and tells facts and stories about every place he takes you. The entire energy during the shoot was laidback and witty. Together with my boyfriend he planned a surprise proposal for me and everything about it was magical. He showed us a secret spot where my boyfriend went down on his knees, capturing the magnificent Acropolis in the background! Our pictures turned out absolutely amazing! Thanks to all the tips and poses from Vasilis. It felt like a private guided tour with a friend, and not just a photoshoot. He doesn't just treat photography as a hobby, but as his passion! Once you meet him and let him show you his city while he takes some incredible shots of you, you will know what I mean. If you are looking for a photographer in Athens who will make your experience memorable, I highly recommend booking a session with Vasilis.Posted on Google Jenny DonohueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had issues on our end and were late to the photos but he worked with the time we had left and made it feel so special. He and my fiance planned a surprise proposal and it was so beautiful. He showed us parts of Old Athens that are less crowded and the photo opportunities were abundant. I highly recommend.
