Good job, Gonzalo..”

“I loved the trip to India and I think it was very well thought out, for 15 days it is a cool tour that touches the different Indies. Thank you very much for the trip Gonzalo, you are super teacher and super cool, so I hope you continue to have many trips and I will be aware of it!”
Nuria Tapia
…”Gonzalo, thank you for a fantastic trip. We have been able to discover and experience India. The organization has been perfect and photographically the trip is very powerful.
Writing this from the airport, the only bad thing about the trip is that it’s over. How nice those 4 more days of the normal trip would have been.
I hope we will see you soon in another one, the destinations of 2019 are great.
A very strong hug”…

…”Thank you very much Gonzalo!!!!, you are a fantastic guy, the organization deserves an 11. You have shown me the real Indian. I have enjoyed photography like never before. And thanks also to all my travel companions, I had a great time with you. A big hug and if my wife wants… next year we will see you in Burma”…
Francis Tena Tellez
“Well, first of all I loved the trip. It has really been the greatest adventure of my life. I had a great time, and the first day we arrived in Delhi I didn’t have them all with me. But now I look back and I would leave again next year without hesitation. If everything continues as it has been until now and the circumstances arise, do not doubt that I will leave”
Lola Sampedro,Madrid –Photographic Trip India
“Destiny, my love of photography and my passion for traveling made my path cross with Gonzalo’s. Initially in one of his courses and then in one of the best experiences of my life, India.
I had already been to India, I had to go for work…, but I didn’t know her. I didn’t know its colors, its smells, or its people… I wanted to go to India to meet her.
And I will never regret having been accompanied by Gonzalo and the magnificent group that we form.
Gonzalo loves to travel, to know, he is very interested in other cultures, he is passionate about people and what is different. He is a very open person, willing to get to know other worlds.
That is why he loves India and this is reflected in his travels and photographs.
With their travels you will get to know a country in a respectful way with its people, you will open your mind and your heart, you will have fun and, of course, you will improve your photography. Above all, and in my opinion, from a much more artistic than technical section. Gonzalo will teach you how to interpret light, how to compose, and how to get the most out of your camera so you don’t miss a single moment.”
Jose Garcia Moreno,Madrid –Photographic Trip India
“In my case, I was looking for a photographic trip that was affordable, in a small group and guided by someone with a lot of experience, so I decided on Gonzalo.
I was not looking for any kind of course during it, as I have been doing photography for many years. I wanted to empty my mind of all the problems that travel on your own entails: being aware of train schedules, planes, where to get to places, pulling a map and pocket guide at all times… all those things that prevent you from focusing on enjoying everything around you, leaving your mind unoccupied to only worry about the light, the shadows, the framing and enjoy every moment. And always with Gonzalo telling you stories and anecdotes about monuments, ceremonies and life in general. I recommend it 100% and give it 5 *****…”
Max Álvarez, Asturias – Photographic tour India
“It’s been a long time since I enjoyed a trip so much, it’s not only photographic but also cultural, sharing together everything we are seeing and guided by Gonzalo’s experience who explains everything in great detail, makes this trip something unique,,we also have the services of Mahendra Singh, driver Shyam Tours who took us to all corners in his magical Tempo Traveller”
Rosa Velardo, Photographic Journey India
“Not to brag, but when someone tells me about their experiences in India, I let them know that we were at a train station full of cigarettes, curious people and rats in Tundla, 600 km from Varanasi, at 9 pm, after missing the train… And when I see their faces I tell them about the hustle and bustle with the briefcases, the police, the stuck wagons we try to get into, the fabulous sunrise with the inhabitants doing their things next to the tracks at 5 in the morning, the ponds full of lotus flowers, the buffaloes bathing next to the villages and the arrival in Varanasi. After that they look at me in a different way.
My impression could not be better. Thousands of miles from my home, I didn’t feel unsafe at any time (largely thanks to you) but aware that I was living moments that I couldn’t have imagined on any other type of trip.
I loved the Indian beer (Kingfisher), because of how cold it used to be and because of that size so suitable for sharing, I found the food varied, tasty and cheap.
The travel companions were the right ones for this type of trip; people used to traveling to different places with few qualms (I think I was the least “traveled”).
I enjoyed each of the transports, the rickshaw seemed to me the ideal means for that particular type of traffic, the train impressed me and the taxis seemed comfortable (door to door).
Anyway, when I get permission again I’ll sign up again.”
