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!

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.

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!

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!

Andy has a perfect knowledge of every picture worthwhile corner of Brugges, from the big canals, to the less touristy, but oh so charming, neighborhoods, to the unusual door knobs. He won’t hesitate à second to share both his composition advice as well as his technical tips. Fully recommended.

The afternoon spent with Andy on his Photo Tour was a fantastic experience. Aside from the invaluable photography tips and local knowledge of his beloved Brugge, he was most kind to help program optimal settings on my new camera, which paid dividends for this itinerary as well as the remainder of our trip. Sincere thanks and the highest recommendation for Photo Tour Brugge!

5 star rating Patient, professional photographer and educator Andy is more than a tour guide. He’s an educator interested in helping others develop their photography skills. He was patient, allowing me to go at my own pace and get the shot I wanted. He provided honest feedback that was always positively framed and constructive. This allowed me to get images I wouldn’t have been able to without his guidance. Do this tour at the start of your Bruges experience. It’ll set you up for a great visit.

We came across the existence of Photo Tour Brugge soon after arrival in Belgium’s beautiful medieval and highly photogenic city in September 2022 and there was plenty of tours to choose from. The following day we spent a most enjoyable and productive two hours exploring Brugge from a photographer’s perspective. It was a fantastic experience, combining Andy’s sharp eye for photo opportunities with his deep knowledge about the city, its people and its history. The Photo Tour Brugge greatly enhanced our visit!

My husband and I really enjoyed our photo tour with Andy. Andy was knowledgeable, friendly, and relaxed. He introduced me to exposure bracketing (which I utilized throughout the remaining 4 weeks of our time in Europe). The inspiration/example photos were a really helpful starting point to photograph a very beautiful part of the world.
