Any Questions First?

Digital camera (i.e. DSLR or mirrorless camera) with wide angle lenses and telephoto lenses - you will need at least 200mm focal length, anything “longer” than that will give you more options and flexibility on the visited locations. Sturdy and stable tripod is a MUST and a remote shutter release for tack sharp pictures. Neutral density and polarizer filters (if you have any) will come in handy, too.
We strongly recommend you pack up some good sturdy boots and a waterproof raincoat with you. It really can get freezing cold, especially early in the mornings.
Saxony is a hilly terrain where the greatest photo spots require moderate hiking, but it’ll always be conditioned by the shape of the other attendees, but there are spots easily reachable from the car as well
We prioritize the comfort of our guests and therefore all of our tours are designed for single occupancy.
The minimum number of attendees on this photo tour is 4.
The maximum number of attendees is 7 attendees per tour.
In that case, it’s up to us to decide whether we want to organize the photo tour anyways, and we’ll update you shortly. In case we decide to not go through with the tour, we’ll return you the money paid in the tour account asap.
The tour itinerary is set within the tour program as the basic outline but it may vary depending on the weather conditions. We’re trying hard to deliver you the best experience according to the actual situation. The tour itinerary is only set as the basic outline of the tour - it is not hardwired into the program because it largely depends on the weather conditions.

And finally, if you made advance payment, you should cover the remaining balance no longer than 30 days before the photo tour starts.
