A Present and a Holiday Offer from Photography Travel Tours

Jim and Magrit from Photography Travel Tours wish all of you the most wonderful, peaceful, and light-filled Holidays.

And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us,
new, untouched, full of things that have never been! 
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

*An Opportunity*

Can you imagine anything better than traveling in Europe in combination with your favorite activity or hobby, be it cooking (and eating), painting, music, barge travel, hiking, walking, history, or, in our case, photography (which still includes a lot of good eating ;-)). And all this in the company of passionate seasoned guides and a small group of fellow enthusiasts.

We’d love to have you join us on any of our 2026 Photo Tours (check out this list of all Photography Travel Tours photo adventure in 2026 »).

As a special treat, we’d like to offer you a 5% discount for the first person who signs up between December 21 and January 15 for one of our favorite locations: Portugal.

Especially if you’ve already been to various regions in Italy and/or France, Portugal will absolutely delight you with its uniquely different culture, landscape, cuisine, and photo ops. We can’t wait to return in 2026.
