Top Bruges Art Classes

Really enjoyed our photo walk with Andy. Lots of ideas about composition and the history and contemporary culture of Bruges. It was great to see the way that he has approached different subjects. Andy has an easygoing manner and clearly has a great love of Bruges.

What a fabulous tour with Andy! We started our tour at the red door right in the central part of Bruges. Instructions were very clear and it was very easy to find Andy to start our experience. Andy he was very personable and made us feel welcome and excited about learning more about photography. He took us to some really unique places and allowed us to unleash some of our creativity (when three of the four of us were not avid photographers). We loved hearing about the history about Bruges as an added bonus. This made it a very special experience. Thank you Andy for a great afternoon and we will recommend this tour to any of our friends that are coming to Bruges. On a sidenote, we ran into Andy later and got to meet his lovely wife! Serendipity!

I took the "Hidden Brugge" tour and was very informative. Andy definitely knew his photography and local history of Brugge. He had good examples on his ipad and gave good suggestions and critique of pictures immediately taken.

I've taken three private tours with Andy at Photo Tour Brugge over the years. Each time, Andy went above and beyond to make the tour a phenomenal experience. He has always taken took into account my experience level each time, my goals, and my equipment. From the first tour (where he focused on helping me learn the basics of using a mirrorless system) to my most recent tour with him (where he helped me with composition and 'story telling'), he's been wonderful and fun to work with. I appreciate how he takes the time to listen to my questions and goals (including as they change during the tour) and adapt accordingly. I highly recommend doing a photo tour with Photo Tour Brugge!

Andy gave my wife and I an amazing tour of beautiful Brugge AND helped us capture some incredible and unique photos of the lesser known parts of town. We learned a little history from a local, got some photo tips, and had a lot of fun on this tour. Highly recommend.

One of the best ways to see and learn about Bruges. Andy’s photographer’s eye helps one see Bruges from perspectives that bring so much life to already beautiful venues. If you’re learning photography, you will find a wealth of information in the time that flies by and you will find you’ve taken some great photos. This was our second excursion with Andy and we hope it won’t be our last.

Andy gave us an amazing tour experience. He was very helpful, very nice, very thoughtful and super friendly. He made our first time to Bruges memorable. We definitely recommend him.

My husband and I really enjoyed our photo tour with Andy. Andy was knowledgeable, friendly, and relaxed. He introduced me to exposure bracketing (which I utilized throughout the remaining 4 weeks of our time in Europe). The inspiration/example photos were a really helpful starting point to photograph a very beautiful part of the world.

Very nice meeting of life. I loved my tour in FRENCH!!! Because yes, Andy speaks French very well. 😉 . A very nice learning about Bruge, photography, techniques and especially psychological (mindset) when you are a protographer!!!!. Thank you very much Andy McSweeney

I took two of Andy’s tours. Got a little history of the city + great photo ops that I wouldn’t have found on my own. If you want to capture some good shots, Andy’s tours are well worth the time and effort.

Booded a two hour session with Andy after spotting his brochure in our hotel. Best 60 Euros I spent in my 6 weeks in Europe. Thoroughly enjoyable, Andy was very helpful, made wonderful suggestions and thoughtful critique, as well as providing great locations in the quieter part of town. Helped me explore wide angle photography which I had previously tended to avoid.

I thoroughly enjoyed this photo tour of the lesser known parts of Brugge with Andy. He is a great photographer and freely offered many creative ideas to capture unique images, including showing us examples of his own work at each site he took us to. He encourages you to play with different ideas and offers tips on your specific camera or phone. If you enjoy photography on any level, do t hesitate to take this tour. You’ll learn a lot about photography and some history of Rugge as well.

Andy is a great host - we visited lots of locations and were shown detail we might have otherwise overlooked. Info was illustrative and anecdotal, useful and thought provoking. If you are not sure about this tour - just do it, you won't be disappointed!

The two-hour tour with Andy was very pleasant and he had great suggestions for taking great photos!I would have booked the other tours straight away if I had had more time.

My wife and I booked a two hour lesson July 2023. It was excellent. Andy is bright, cheerful, positive and engaging, and doesn't care how good your camera is. We were at different skill levels, but he adapted to that easily. Pre meeting communication was complete, meeting up was straightforward, and his main teaching method was to take us to photogenic sites, show us what he had taken on a tablet, and why, then we had a go and we discussed our results – framing, foreground etc. - he focussed on what we requested. We ended up with more knowledge and good photos. He also advised on camera settings (and also mentioned he teaches smartphone photography skills). However, he mixes his teaching skills with tourist information when asked – the oldest pub, good restaurants, cultural components of population and city growth, so the end result for us was a significant increase in the quality of our stay. I commend his skills and his teaching sessions.

Andy was really great on my tour he helped not only with the technical stuff but also with the art of photography. Provided great insight while also letting me have creative freedom
