Meet Enzo at 8:30 am in St. Mark’s Square for a private one-hour photo walk through Venice, followed by a 30-minute gondola ride. He provides posing guidance, local insight, and edited images, often delivered the same day or next day.

“I'm glad you were so kind. They contacted me the day before and waited for me without being late. The shooting was also smooth. It is safe even for the first time because it also teaches the pose. Best of all, my smile when I'm filming is so amazing!! We could smile too(^^) I also liked the fact that they took photos both on land and on water! I was so happy to ride the gondola that I had hoped for and even had a photo shoot(^^) Thank you very much.Auto-translated”
