Not having an experience in photography, I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked myself onto a photography tour with James. To say it exceeded my expectations is putting it lightly! I learnt SO much from one afternoon, and it really was as if a 'click' went off, and voila! the photos I'm now taking are a MILLION miles... More

I had a private half day tour. I booked this tour based on the excellent reviews on trip advisor. My experience was not at all that great. With regard to the tour........very disappointed. I wanted to learn about how to take great pictures and I am still where I was before I went with you on the tour. I thought... More

Can't recommend more the tour with James! He's amazing photographer and was very helpful. He attracted my attention to the things I would've otherwise missed. Thank you, James, I will definitely take a tour with you again whenever I'm back to South Africa!

I did a photo tour with James in December. He was outstanding. As a photographer James has extensive experience. I think he started out as a nature photographer, but now he specialises in landscapes and shooting Cape Town's diverse peoples. You can find his amazing shots on Facebook (James Gradwell Photography Tours). More important than his impressive photography skill, however,... More

Definitely choose James-He will be the best way to adventure Cape Town. He has extensive knowledge of the area. He is very accommodating, and is not only a great teacher, he is great company, with a charming sense of humor and full of energy that is infectious. James will fit in with what you would like to do and photograph.... More

My sister and I did a photo tour with James and had a great time. He picked us up at 5am to get some amazing sunrise shots over Cape Town. The day was full and we photographed everything...beaches, penguins, fishing towns, cape preserve, Chapman's peak, etc. We did a few short hikes. My sister is not so much into photography,... More

Because my partner loves to photograph I booked a tour through the vinyards with James. We visited some vinyards, beautifull gardens, Stellenbosch, and he knew the best views! We had a great day. He knows a lot about the area and he tought us a lot about photography. We had a great day and would recommend him to anyone. Even... More

I booked James's tour as my sister is an avid photographer not knowing what to expect. James is an amazing and knowledgeable guide. Just by watching the shots he liked and some of the angles he pointed out I learned how to find beauty and all of the things I saw. I also felt like I got to see the... More

The best day of my holiday was spent with James learning about my new camera. He gave me a real insight to Cape Town life and was very flexible about changing the day’s itinerary to fit in the things I hadn’t had the chance to do yet. You won’t be disappointed!
