Andy is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but friendly and very easy-going. He has no problem explaining stuff on a smartphone, Nikon compact camera or Fujifilm cameras. If you can capture the attention of a 15-year old girl, an 11-year old boy while at the same time get them and us to think about composition and give tips that really matter, you really make this tour into a 3 hour exciting photographic experience.Personally I enjoyed the complete package that he gives, not photography only but interesting and fun facts on the history of Bruges and whenever possible just a casual chat.Heavily recommended... we'll be seeing him again in the future, that's for sure. less...

We liepen buiten de gebaande toeristische straten en ik kreeg veel praktische professionele tips om mijn foto's te verbeteren. Het enthousiasme en de liefde voor het vak van Andy maakte de tour helemaal goed. Als we ooit terugkomen in Brugge dan boek ik weer een tour! less...

His knowledge about the city, all the little details on the buildings, hidden places and more - we got to know Brugge from a whole different side. As well his experience and knowledge about photography in general, but also his tips about cities photography in particular, was a whole new experience for us. Andy opened a whole new point of view on photography (and all the possibilities of it) for us. For me as a beginner, but also for Hanna who works as a people photographer, it was possible to learn new things! Take a look at some of the pictures we took, below. 🙂 He delivered all of this with such an open heart, loads of passion, patience and kindness and we were able to enjoy the whole trip to the fullest, including all the communications before and after. On top of that we had the privilege to have some beautiful shots of our engagement from Andy and his wife Kathi. They made this special moment to something even more special! And we can't thank them enough for being such beautiful souls. Andy and Kathi, thank you so much for everything! Big blessings and greetings from Germany from us! Lots of love, Hanna and Johannes

Andy und seine Photo-Tour waren ein absolutes Highlight auf unserem Brügge-Ausflug! Das Wissen über die Stadt, die vielen kleinen Details der Verzierungen, die versteckten Orte, durch ihn konnten wir Brügge noch einmal von einer völlig neuen Seite kennenlernen. Dazu seine Erfahrung und Wissen über die Fotografie im Allgemeinen, aber auch speziell die Tipps für die Städte-Fotografie und das Einfangen von Momenten und Alltagssituationen. Er hat uns noch einmal eine völlig neue Sicht auf die Fotografie und ihre Möglichkeiten ermöglicht - für mich als Anfänger, aber auch für Hanna, die selbst professionell fotografiert. (Unten ein paar Bilder, die daraus entstanden sind.) All das gab es in einer absoluten Herzlichkeit und mit soviel Herzblut, Geduld und Freundlichkeit, dass wir die Tour an sich, aber auch die Kommunikation davor und danach in vollsten Zügen genießen konnten. Darüber hinaus war es uns ein echtes Privileg, dass Andy mit wundervollen Bildern den Moment unserer Verlobung eingefangen hat und diesen besonderen Moment noch etwas besonderer gemacht hat. Andy, vielen Dank für alles und lieben Gruß auch an deine Frau Katie! less...

His suggestions were excellent and his knowledge of the city and hidden parts of it was incredible. He listened to what I wanted and delivered. I have been to Bruges several times but not to many of the places he knew. less...

READ MORE...I received a special birthday gift from the family: a photography tour in Bruges, with 2 friends with the same hobby, to choose by myself!
All 3 of us thought it was a special evening in Bruges: beautiful views, fairy lighting and the super coach Andy Mac Sweeney to satisfy our hunger for better photos.
Andy provided in-depth guidance of the special angles in the medieval center and the canals, shared his many years of experience and took plenty of time to teach us the art of photography.
Our 2 hour tour exceeded our expectations in quantity and quality.
Also his photographic works are a must to buy.
I thank the family, ... and Andy. less...

Yesterday I booked the "Hidden Bruges" tour with Andy and was really excited. We strolled through Bruges off the beaten tourist track, took pictures, learned a lot about the city and its history and also got many valuable and helpful tips about photography and editing. And at the end there was a wonderful surprise - but I won't tell you more about it - because otherwise it would be no more surprise for you. I booked the next tour with Andy for tomorrow. Highly recommended! less...
