Here are reviews from people who have taken our Photography trips …
“This was the finest and most enjoyable Road Scholar trip I've ever experienced. In fact, I enjoyed it so much the first time, I enrolled in it a second time – and plan to do so again next spring! It's really that good. Chincoteague and Assateague islands are magnificent – abounding with photographic opportunities. Our Group Leader is a gifted nature photographer and teacher who uses humor and gentle prodding to impart his expansive knowledge and skills to his students; I've learned much from him. He is as dedicated to passing along his expertise to the ‘next generation’ as he is to his craft.”

“Our experts were quite knowledgeable of Costa Rican history, culture and natural life. Besides planned opportunities to photograph hummingbirds, frogs, monkeys, macaws, etc., we would stop to capture sloths and other animals as they were spotted. I’m using features on my camera I never knew how to use before, and producing better photographs! I also really appreciated the small group size (just 10 of us). I'm so grateful for this enriching experience!”
