“As  a complete beginner, I wasn’t sure what to expect –  I should not have been nervous in the slightest, the group was fantastic and the tutors were spot on – thanks Andrea and Stewart .   ”

John MarleyTransylvania 2018

“Romania is a country rich in traditions & history and it was a distinct pleasure to learn all about it while having hands on practical advice for improving my photography. The camaraderie of the group really added to the experience – Pure craic!”

Céline HarrandTransylvania 2018

“As photography novices and beginners, we were unsure what we were letting ourselves in for. we soon found out that there was so many different skill levels in the group & no one felt uncomfortable or overwhelmed. We all gelled so well as a group which really added to the enjoyment of the experience. Stewart & Andrea’s in-depth knowledge, but particularly their friendless, approachable and patience meant that the last 4 days we gained so much valuable photography experience that has done wonders for our confidence as photographers. TDactive did a wonderful job organizing the holiday and was as good as it could get. My per-conceptions of Romania were completely misplaced –  a stunning country . PS – a cable car DOWN the mountain would have topped it off perfectly!  ”
