Best light windows
Book early morning or late afternoon for softer light and shorter queues near landmarks.
Keep gear compact
A mirrorless camera or a smartphone with a small prime lens moves faster through crowds than bulky rigs.
Pedestrian etiquette
Be mindful of sidewalks and café terraces—use small tripods only where you won’t block foot traffic.
Backup power
Bring a charged power bank; your guide will shoot but you’ll also want spare battery for your device.
Mirrorless or smartphone with good camera
Primary tool for portraits and cityscapes—fast autofocus and good low‑light performance help.
Comfortable walking shoes
Paved quays and cobblestones make supportive shoes useful for the 90‑minute route.
Small travel tripod or tabletop tripod
Useful for low‑light portraits or group shots at dusk without blocking pathways.
Portable power bank
Ensures your phone or camera stays charged through the walk and during image selection later.
