Marco Secchi accompanied us on the Sunrise photo walk- and what a wonderful experience it was! Marco, a renowned Getty photographer, is such a warm and kind individual. We learned so much from him. Marco loves sharing his knowledge not only about photography but about his hometown of Venice. It was truly the best way to capture the magic of the city. I left feeling more confident about my photography and also feeling as though we'd seen this iconic city with a friend. So grateful for this experience. Thank you Marco! (Tripadvisor)
I recently booked my wife a photo tour with Marco for her birthday. Marco was absolutely fantastic, he is such a nice person and a very attentive professional who made sure my wife got the best photographs as well as helpful advice.
This was certainly worth the money and the highlight of our visit to Venice. If you are interested in improving your photos and getting an insight into Venice then a tour with Marco Secchi is amazing value. (Tripadvisor)
This was definitely the highlight of our week in Venice. Marco is friendly informative and inspiring. A must! (Tripadvisor)
At last we've found the hidden treasure of Venice. My wife and I have been here many times and think we know its main delights.
But only recently have we found the internationally renowned photographer Marco Secchi who leads photographic-cum-walking tours of this wonderful city. (Tripadvisor)
