We booked the tour on the day and were lucky that we got an afternoon spot. Andy was very friendly and helpful, with a very good knowledge of Brugge's history and photo spots. It was an unforgettable experience and definitely a highlight of our trip! Highly recommended!

Skilful, informative, entertaining - incl all facets Bruges offers I enjoyed every single minute of this tour. It was a perfect mix of photography skills, exploring the local culture. Additionally Andy gave me loads of useful tips.
When my husband saw my photos (he couldn’t travel with me) he thought I stole Andy‘s photos.

Thank you Andy!

Two hours well spent! Andy is a great host - we visited lots of locations and were shown detail we might have otherwise overlooked. Info was illustrative and anecdotal, useful and thought provoking. If you are not sure about this tour - just do it, you won't be disappointed!

Andy does a fantastic job at the engagement session, even though there was heavy rain that day the photos came out beautiful, and he is also a very happy and fun person who knows a lot about the history of witches. I definitely totally recommend it

My two adult daughters and I selected the "hidden Brugge" photo tour with Andy and it was superb. His knowledge of photography was excellent and his composition suggestions at the various locations were very helpful. Andy's history knowledge added another dimension to the tour that was much appreciated. I would not hesitate to do another tour with him and sincerely hope that I get that opportunity.

I took part in a wonderful tour with Andy! The sites were well chosen, beautiful and at the same time he could explain how to create a nice photo. He was able to answer all my questions and even showed me some features in my camera I didn’t know yet. Highly recommendable and very worth the money!

I recently proposed to my girlfriend in Bruges, and wanted to have a photographer capture our special moment. After searching through a few different options, I found Andy's website, and after viewing his portfolio and background, I reached out hoping he might be available....and I'm so glad he was. Whether it was his extensive knowledge of Bruges and the location recommendations he provided, his professionalism and welcoming demeanor, or the the superb photographs he captured, Andy was truly a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer.

My father is an amateur photographer and I love the architecture around Bruges so booking one of Andy's tours was not only useful as a way of finding the best sites it was also really informative for learning how to take the perfect shot. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and Andy was very friendly, funny and charismatic and we will hire him again when we're back in Bruges. Well worth the time and money!

Great photo workshop and a terrific way to see the city Enjoyed it so much, I booked a second tour the following morning. Great way to see the city with a long-time resident AND come away with some wonderful photos. As an extra bonus, Andy brought a folding bike for my wife, who is not a photographer, to come along on the workshop and share in the experience.

Excellent photgraphy experience My wife and I booked a two hour lesson July 2023. It was excellent. Andy is bright, cheerful, positive and engaging, and doesn't care how good your camera is. We were at different skill levels, but he adapted to that easily. Pre meeting communication was complete, meeting up was straightforward, and his main teaching method was to take us to photogenic sites, show us what he had taken on a tablet, and why, then we had a go and we discussed our results – framing, foreground etc. - he focussed on what we requested. We ended up with more knowledge and good photos. He also advised on camera settings (and also mentioned he teaches smartphone photography skills). However, he mixes his teaching skills with tourist information when asked – the oldest pub, good restaurants, cultural components of population and city growth, so the end result for us was a significant increase in the quality of our stay. I commend his skills and his teaching sessions.

אנדי יקירי...הסיור איתך אתמול היה עונג צרוף! פתחת לי את הלב ואת העין. תודה ענקית לך על מה ומי שאתה.

Great wander round the city ...Andy is engaging, knowledgeable and genuine. Great Job Andy thoroughly enjoyed the time :)

What an amazing and delightful two hour tour I had with Andy. I live part time in Brugge and I had heard a lot about him. Finally I booked the Hidden Brugge tour with him walking through streets were tourist do not usually go. I was totally enchanted with his stories and his passion for fotography. He emphasized Love. Love in creating a photo with a story. I loved the way he taught me how to create a shot from different perspectives and to play around with different angles of light and backgrounds until I really loved it. He also showed me hot to use an app to enhance my photos or to create a picture from a photo. He knew a lot of stories from a city we both love so much. I will definitely highly recommend his tour to anyone who enjoys learning how to take better “momentos” from every corner. I must say I took all my pictures with merely an i-phone but with Andy’s tips you can also have great shots. Thank you Andy soooo much!

I went on a photo tour with Andy in late May 2023, and it was great. All I could have hoped for. He arrived on time, was well-prepared, and took me to all of the most photogenic places. He's also very helpful and offered a lot of great photography advice. I'm really glad I went!

I hired Andy for a proposal photoshoot and he did an excellent job from start to finish. He was very responsive during the planning process, recommended potential locations, gave his opinion on photo angles and planning, etc. He was a pleasure to work with and the photos turned out great! I highly recommend.

BEST photo tour ever! Andy helps you capture amazing photos with new creative techniques. This was the best photo tour I’ve ever experienced! Andy is a pro and he shares his amazing photos and helps you get the creative angles and gives you the proper settings and i informative tips about photography and history. BEST PHOTO TOUR EVER!

Great touy Andy was really great on my tour he helped not only with the technical stuff but also with the art of photography. Provided great insight while also letting me have creative freedom

My wife and I spent 12 days exploring Amsterdam and several cities in Belgium. Brugge (or Bruges) was a highlight, so beautiful. We went on a 2 hour photo tour with Andy and he is a special person. He provided a magical experience. I highly recommend him as a tour guide and a human being. Thank you Andy!

I did a night photo shoot with Andy. It was the highlight of my trip. I scheduled for a couple reasons: help in finding best shots since I didn’t have three weeks to explore and to improve my skills in night photography. My expectations were exceeded in both! I just edited my pictures and have a couple dozen spectacular shots I would have never gotten on my own. Andy was helpful in settling up the shots, getting the best lighting, using my equipment, creative ideas, and giving helpful evaluation of each shot. Besides that he made the whole experience pleasurable. I left a better photographer. If you’re serious about your photography or just want a casual walk about I can’t recommend him highly enough. I’ll schedule another session anytime I’m in Bruges.

6 Stars! I had the absolute pleasure of joining Andy McSweeney on a sunny Easter morning for a walk through Brugge. As I'm not an experienced photographer we started off by going through some settings on my camera and we discussed to mainly focus on composition. During our walk Andy told bits about the history and the scenery, showed pictures he had taken on the spot throughout the seasons / different compositions / interesting details. I got loads of interesting insights and information and I'm halfway composing an email with some follow up questions which I'm sure he'll be happy to answer. I wholeheartedly recommend Photo Tour Brugge. I personally would like to do a tour again to then focus more on the technical bits of photography. Above all Andy is very pleasant company!

What a pleasure to spend a couple of hours with a person who passionately loves what he talks about - photography and Bruges!Andy shares his trade secrets generously, turning his photo tour into an art class that we’ll remember again and again!

Private photo Tour with Andy Had a photo tour with Andy last Saturday. March 11. We saw a lot and were able to take great photos. Andy told a lot and we got enough time to capture beautiful memories of Bruges. If you want to see a lot of Bruges, this is definitely recommended! We really enjoyed it and learned a lot from it. Greetings Anne-Marie

Fantastic time taking pictures with Andy I had a fantastic time with Andy. Walking thru Brugge under his guidance was an experience I heartily recommend to anyone. He is very knowledgeable, had great photography tips, and has an excellent knowledge of Brugge itself. He is patient, funny, and a great photographer, could not have asked for a better guide.

Photography Tour Andy was awesome and very patient in his approach to conveying his expertise. Also giving me the confidence to have a go. I would definitely recommend this tour.

3 hours well spent. My wife and I went with Andy on a 3 hour evening photo tour. Andy was very professional, knowledgeable, and fun to be with. Andy first asked about our photography experience and what our expectations were. I do photography as a hobby and am always interested in learning from others and seeing how others create their compositions. Andy was very informative. He shared his technical knowledge as well as photos showing examples of his compositions at some of the locations we visited.
Andy knows the history of Brugge. As we walked around town he told us the history of locations and people that influenced the town. We really enjoyed his sharing of the local history. He also gave us suggestions of other areas of town to visit and photograph during the day.
Andy and I use the same camera systems. He let me try out one of his lenses, which in my opinion is going way above and beyond our expectations.
Andy is a polite and kind individual. We truly enjoyed our tour with him.

I went on a tour a couple weeks ago with Andy and it was great! Despite the weather being so-so, I ended up getting some great photos and learning a lot. I have had a dslr camera for years and haven't really had the motivation to learn how to use it. Andy gave me so many tips for using my camera as well as giving me a lot of inspiration for what frames will look good of lesser known, but beautiful locations around Bruges. I got so much practice in such a short time. This was such a good experience for me as a traveler and a novice photographer. Highly recommend!
