UK Photo Tours - London

I had the pleasure to join Dion (UK Photo Tours) on 2 multi-day trips (Cornwall and Lake District) and it was an amazing experience.
Dion is a very skilled photographer who has a passion to share his knowledge, he's well versed in just about any aspect of photography and can benefit even the most experienced photographer.
What made the trips absolutely remarkable is Dion's extensive knowledge of the areas we visited and deep understanding of what spot works best in specific wether conditions. This allowed us to have a fluid agenda of places to visit to maximize our chances of getting the best photos even when weather conditions changes through the day.
On top of all that, Dion is a real delightful person and a great company on trips. He always accomodates everyone's needs and makes the overall experience unforgetable.

Just returned from my first trip with Dion photographing the puffins on Farne island. My husband and I learned how to catch those clown birds in the air. Even tho we had some inclement weather, Dion was able to change our plans and find another place to photograph the puffins. Accommodations were wonderful and everything was close by. I would highly recommend Dion. He has you covered on gear. He let us use his tripods and one of the other participants used one of his cameras after getting frustrated with his own not being able to get the reach for clearer shots. Everyone went home happy

Went on my first tour with Dion recently, The Wales Waterfall Tour. Excellent!! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Dion was extremely helpful, gave excellent advice and I learnt a lot.
The group size was ideal, in as much that Dion was able to spend plenty of good quality time with each of us.
Dion had and excellent array of equipment we were able to borrow, especially the filters that I was very grateful to be able to use.
I will definitely being participating in future tours and day trips with Dion. Thoroughly recommended. Thank you Dion.

I visited waterfall country in Wales at the beginning of September with UK Photo Tours. The trip was well planned, with plenty of photographic opportunities on all 3 days.
We had a very clean and comfortable house in Glynneath as our base.
Dion, our host and guide was extremely helpful, came prepared with filters, lens options and even rope and helmets if needed.
We had a nice walk on the second day of the trip, where we visited several waterfalls. Dion spent plenty of one-to-one time with each of us. Despite being a keen photographer for over 25 years, I did learn a few things!
I had attended 3 one day trips to Stonehenge, the Shuttleworth air show and the Loxwood Joust with UK Photo Tours and had high expectations. I wasn't disappointed!
It was a very pleasant experience and will I definitely join another multi-day trip with UK Photo tours in the future.

Had the best day with Dion Hitchcock visiting Bodiam and Scotney Castles. He is delightful and so helpful too with an excellent array of lenses, filters and tripods you can borrow. He caters for everyone from the true beginner (me) to experienced photographers. Could not recommend him more.

A photo tour to the Lake District was a dream of mine since I first visited the area on my own 3 years ago. A UK Photo Tour in particular, as I had done a day tour with Dion before and really appreciated his knowledge and guidance. So, after an eye opening, thoroughly productive multi day (not only) astrophotography tour in Cornwall last summer, I was very happy to secure a place in his Lake District sessions this Autumn. And, oh boy, did they delivered! Dion knew where and when exactly to take us for the best possible shot, tirelessly providing expert advice, helping out in any way possible and a set of Kase filters ever available for anyone who wished to use it. And by taking us to one or two (no spoilers!) non widely known beauty spots, he gave us the opportunity to take some amazing, truly original photos. And if all this wasn't enough, the small group (only five of us) of like minded, photo loving people and the spacious, cosy cottage we stayed in at the heart of Keswick made this a thoroughly enjoyable, fun week, full of wonderful sights and treasured memories. Thank you Dion!

I recently had the pleasure of joining a photography tour led by the incredible Dion Hitchcock in the stunning landscapes of Scotland, and I can't express enough how exceptional the experience was!

From the very beginning, Dion's enthusiasm set the tone for what turned out to be a truly memorable journey. His passion for photography and Scotland's breathtaking scenery was infectious, creating an environment where everyone felt inspired and excited to capture the beauty around us.

Dion's expertise and knowledge of the best photographic spots in Scotland were evident throughout the tour. He skillfully guided our group to hidden gems and iconic locations, ensuring that we had ample opportunities to capture the perfect shot. His keen eye for composition and lighting added an extra layer of depth to my photographs, elevating them to a whole new level.

What truly stood out, however, was Dion's exceptional level of patience and helpfulness. Whether you were a seasoned photographer or a beginner like myself, Dion was always there to offer guidance, share tips, and provide constructive feedback. His approachability made the learning experience enjoyable, and I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking advice, fostering an environment of growth and creativity.

As a result of Dion's guidance and the breathtaking locations we explored, I came home with a portfolio of photographs that exceeded my expectations.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dion Hitchcock's photography tours to anyone seeking a blend of expertise, passion, and a genuine commitment to creating a memorable experience. Thank you so much, Dion!

Dion arranged for all the best spots throughout the Isle of Skye to see, as well as for our accommodations! His knowledge of the area was most appreciated and we felt safe and well looked after throughout our journey. He also arranged for some great fall weather and skies 😉 Highly recommend Dion's services.
