3
The British Museum
Our tour finishes at The British Museum where you are free to explore by yourselves or travel on via tube (Tottenham Court Road and Holbourn station are 5 minutes walk away). We use this final stop to shoot some interesting images of the outside of the building; you are then free to explore and photograph inside by yourselves if you wish. I have listed some of the sites that we will see on this tour and hinted at others. Other points of interest are included and I do encourage you to 'wander off' if you see a photo opportunity. I make sure we have each other's numbers so you can catch us up if you suddenly find yourselves lost.

Traveller reviews
It were such nice hours to spend with Mike on the tour. I learned a lot on photography and made some really nice pictures. He’s very knowledgeable about the area we were, and he took me to a lot of interesting places. I would recommend anyone to book a tour with him and learn more about photography and hear interesting stories!
A delightful tour through many features of the West End. Some photos were of typical tourist sites but many creative and unusual shots that most tourists wouldn’t notice or think about. Mike provided lots of gentle advice and encouragement on using the camera to make the most of the opportunities! A wonderful experience with terrific photos to take away.
A wonderful day of London sights and great help with our cameras and taking unique and excellent photos. Mike was a delight and I highly recommend this tour. Our teenagers really enjoyed the day and learned so much about their cameras. Thanks, Mike!
Walked the back streets of London learning some history and some.great places to shoot. Very helpful if you're into photography and want to get a little more depth into the real City of London.
Our guide was so knowledgeable about the background stories. Taught us both so many technics and the ins and outs of our cameras. Mine was new to me and he was patient while we figured it out.
Mike my guide was amazing, on time, organized and his history of the places we visited was second to non. A real personable gentleman, who offered advice and taught me some new techniques. I felt that I had known him all my life. Thanks Mike.
Photo tours are a great way to see a slice of local culture and this tour was no exception. The host was on time and brought the group through a variety of local attractions. There are many good photo ops on the tour. Additionally, the host showed us a variety of techniques to liven up even the most ordinary subject. He was accommodating and instructive. I highly recommend this tour.
Very nice tour with a friendly guide, who takes you to different places in the west end. Good to start the city trip in London.
