Florida Birds Tour


No matter the level of photography experience, Don and Anya will spend the time to answer questions and help achieve results you haven't previously seen. Your work elevated! Don's approach to learning by doing is effective, efficient and fun! Learned more about shooting wildlife in 5 days than all previous experience. I'll be back for another tour soon!

Canadian Rockies Tour

Don Mammoser and his wife, Anya, conducted this five-day photography tour of the Canadian Rockies. Don took us places that were off-the-beaten path and therefore not inundated with visitors.

Tuscany, Italy

Just back from Don's amazing Tuscany Workshop! Don is a great teacher - extremely knowledgeable and patient. His itinerary was well-scouted and he brought us to some out-of-the-way vistas few visitors ever find.

Denver Day Trips

I've been on several photo trips with Don in the past decade and have thoroughly enjoyed 
my experiences with him. He pays attention detail and I always come home with what I consider to be great photos, Now to add frosting on the cake.... his wonderful wife Anya joins on many of the trips. ​

Fun and Instructive

I have enjoyed Don Mammoser's photo tours on many occasions. He has absolutely made me a better photographer and I would recommend Don to anyone, of any ability level, who wishes to become a better photographer....and have a lot of fun in the process.

Don's Photo Tours

I've been on several photo tours with Don over the past 10 years and they are always of very high quality. The critique sessions are very helpful and Don is always eager to help every student on any part of photography...from how to's in the field, to post processing editing tips, even how to get your feet wet in the photography business . Don has a ton of energy and this in turn rubs off on all of the workshop participants. We all come to Don's workshops as individuals but leave as friends...

A Workshop With Don

I have attended several longer (multi day) workshops with Don, the most "exotic" trip was an international tour to Florence and the Tuscany area of Italy.  Don is a great teacher, ensuring that each participant goes home with the best images possible, while doing so in a relaxed and fun environment. If you'd like to expand both the technical and creative sides of your photography, take a trip with Don.

Florida Birds Tour
This was my first experience shooting birds and it was way beyond great. Lots of birds and great instruction on what and how to do it. Loved every minute of it. I enjoyed all the shoots. This tour exceeded my expectations.

Tuscany Cultural Photo Tour

I enjoyed being in the core of Florence and being able to explore the side streets, but getting to the small towns was the goal.  All daytrips were good.
The b&b in Pienza was perfect.  Having the trifecta- walled town, normal neighborhood and countryside all in eyesight.  There was no issue with walking anywhere alone in this town.
The countryside excursions were great and we got a variety of sky options over our days.
Having Anya on this longer overseas trip was a "plus", especially with several women on the trip. She is intelligent, energetic, entertaining and understands what photographers are trying to do.
You, Don, of course, were also intelligent, patient and helpful as you guided us to making photographs. Thanks for all the safe driving- I am sure it was tiring.
I had a great time and look forward to another opportunity with you.
Well planned and executed workshop, convenient accommodations, endless photo opportunities, skilled guidance, fun experience!

Tuscany with Don and Anya!

My husband Bob and I have been on numerous photography trips with Don Mammoser. He's a terrific photographer, but more importantly, he is a brilliant teacher with a keen sensitivity and a fun personality.

Florida Birds Tour

This tour made a novice photographer want to learn more, take more pictures and share the fun and excitement with friends. Don and Anya are very knowledgeable about the locations, the birds and of course the photo equipment. As a beginning photographer I learned a great deal about my camera and it made the tour much more enjoyable. It exceeded my expectations! I didn't know Florida had such beauty to offer.

Canadian Rockies Tour

I have been on other guided photography trips but have never had a more focused guide whose prime interest was in helping his clients shoot good photography. He helps the learner make sense of it all.

Photo Tour of Florence and Tuscany

I rate this as one of my best experiences in Europe. Spent a lot of time taking shots of street scenes with Don encouraging us to get out of our comfort zone and try something new.

Photo Tours with Don

I've had the pleasure of attending several of Don's workshops throughout the US and Canada over the past decade and have come to appreciate Don not only as an excellent photographer with a knack for finding beauty in the simplest objects, but also as a walking encyclopedia on the history and culture of these locations.

Travels with Don

I have had the pleasure over the last tens years to travel with Don Mammoser to many locations throughout North America. His knowledge and teaching style were perfect for my needs. As an advanced amateur, Don helped me refine my craft and assist me in efforts to improve my technique.

U.S. Photo Tours

I've done several photo trips with Don, from 4 days to a week, in several Western locations. Don's been a wonderful tour guide and instructor; he scopes out the shooting locations we're visiting well ahead, and knows when to be where to capture the best scenery and the best light!

 Picture perfect and fun!

Took a trip with Don to shoot fall colors last year in Telluride and it was so great that I signed up with a friend this year for his Canada trip.I like to shoot pretty waterfall pictures and Don was so helpful with making sure that happened and that I used my camera correctly so everything was sharp and exposed correctly. We also shot some spectacular scenic sunrises/sunsets in places the crowds didn't know about.

Florida Birds Tour


I really enjoyed the tour of south Florida birding locations! Don and Anya did their homework to get us to the right places at the right time in the right conditions. Each shooting location was well though out giving us a chance for birds and landscape photography. I especially enjoyed Shark Valley, Corkscrew and the Six Mile Cypress. Wonderful locations with their unique opportunities. Well done tour!

Tuscany Cultural Photo Tour

I just now began looking through my Tuscany images. I think I will be quite happy with what I captured.
The trip itself was just what I was looking for - good photo ops and time to relax.  Florence is my favorite 'big' city in Italy and the few days there were totally enjoyable.  The Dali hotel was perfect - so close to everything and Marco the owner was so accommodating.
Pienza - On one of my calls home I told my husband he might have to move to Italy because I didn't think I wanted to leave.  What a beautiful, friendly little town - and so close to so many of the sites we visited. The B&B was also perfect - nice rooms, good breakfast, great location.  Good choice for both the B&B and the home base.
The tour leader, Don and his assistant (Anya) were very helpful.  Your enthusiasm was inspiring.
