Our photo tours will take you to the diference habitats of the Great Hungarian Plan, where you can enjoy the bird photography. We have a bird photo hide network in our local area, but sometimes we use mobile hides or just wait in the car for a good opportunity. During our workshops we also guide tours on the Hortobágy, Northeast Hungarian Mountains, Sárrét and the Romanian Bihar mountain.

Our guides are well-trained and experienced photographers, and will be there to offer you any professional help or advice, should you want it. We aim to cater for all levels of keen photographers, from beginners to professionals.

These tours are available throughout the year, because every season provides the photographer with a fresh opportunity to carry their photography kit!
