Tailormade photo tours

Imagine being able to go on one of our unique photography tours, but make it even more unique by having the choice over what places are visited, where you stay and what you do. Imagine being able to decide what you want to photograph and what skills will be taught on the trip. Then imagine you can make your tour even more exclusive: choosing who you travel with, whether it is with family or friends. You might want to travel with your children who might be too young for our regular trips. The answer is to choose one of our tailormade trips that very much put you in charge

Highlights:
  • Full control of your itinerary
  • Inclusions can be customised
  • Set your own group size
  • Travel with friends or family
  • Shorter lead times
  • Travel to any destination
  • Personal photography tuition

Design your perfect photo tour with Steve Davey

We realise that not everyone is into the idea of group travel with people they don't know, or that some people are seeking a more premium experience that is based around their specific interests.  It might even be that you are looking for completely tailored private tuition, or that you would like a trip just for you and your family.

To meet these challenges, we are lunching own own bespoke tours. Quite simply, this will allow you to organise your on private trip with Steve Davey - either on your own, or with a partner or group of friends. This is a unique opportunity to be able to organise just the trip that you want, and be accompanied by a professional photographer. You will be able to visit exactly the places you want, do what you want when you are there, and crucially be able to specify exactly the level of photographic instruction that you want.

Steve Davey will organise the travel arrangements, and will accompany you on the trip, providing countless photo opportunities and photographic tuition tailored to your exact wants and needs, and we can even be accompanied by one of Intrepid Travel's expert leaders - the choice is up to you.

With our bespoke tours, the entire itinerary can be organised around your own photographic and travel interests. Steve will organise the trip through his contacts at Intrepid Travel, and we can even be accompanied by an Intrepid leader - it is all up to you!

The main advantage is that you can travel with exactly the people you want to travel with (or even on your own if you are so minded). You can tailor any trip to your own preferences, and make sure that the photographic tuition is organised around your own interests and needs.

You don't even need to leave the country: we can just as easily organise a bespoke tour in the United Kingdom.

Another benefit is that tours can be organised at relatively short notice: you can organise a trip with Steve in a matter of months! As we will not be selling places on the trip, we won't need the same long lead times that we do on our regular tours.

This exclusive treatment does not necessarily have to cost significantly more than our regular trips either. Depending on the number of people you travel with, it could work out very similar to our scheduled tours.

Obviously if you are travelling with fewer people, or even on your own, then all of the costs for having Steve Davey and an Intrepid local leader on the trip will need to be split between fewer people! What you will get in these circumstances though is a completely bespoke tour with a high degree of individual attention and personal tuition.

You can also decide to opt for a more luxury experience and specify more expensive accommodation, or more exclusive transport options. All of this can be arranged by Intrepid Travel.

All of their local offices in various countries around the world also act as DMCs (Destination Management Companies), and although their main job is to make the arrangements for Intrepid's own trips, they have the ability and the contacts to organise virtually any trip. I have personally worked with many of these offices over the years and am more than confident that they can organise anything that they are asked to.

Photographer and Tour Leader Steve Davey

Steve Davey

Steve Davey is a writer and photographer who has travelled the World in the course of his work for more years than he will ever care to admit, researching and photographing for magazines, newspapers and publishers.

Steve is the author of a number of bestselling titles including Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die and Unforgettable Islands to Escape To Before You Die for BBC Books, which between them sold over 300,000 copies and been translated into almost 50 language and special editions.

Steve has also published Around the World in 500 Festivals, and two editions of Footprint Travel Photography - covering everything that you would ever need to know about travelling with a camera.

Steve brings all of this experience to his tours and can teach you all of the tips and techniques that a professional travel photographer uses. 

More than this though, Steve will enlighten you as to how he approaches both travel and photography. This approach will push engagement and empathy, and will encourage you to experience as much as possible on your trip in order that your pictures can show your individual impression of the place that you are travelling in and the people you encounter.
