Not normally into doing 'tours' but I thought i'd give this one a go as it looked like something really different from the norm. We went to their Saturday experience and absolutely loved it. The idea is that they focus on exploring a specific neighbourhood in the city. As opposed to ticking off a list of sites, you spend time... More

I went to the foto ruta tour in San Telmo, a neighborhood I had not really explored much in Buenos Aires and it enabled me to connect to this part of the city in such a unique way. By using the clues as a guideline I really paid attention to the details that were surrounded me and it enabled me... More

I recently did the all day photo tour with foto ruta and it was great. The groups are small and we got a great tour of parts of the city I might not have seen otherwise. Jocelyn provided the perfect mix of guided photo instruction and allowing our creativity to flow. Another perk was the list of local recommendations provided... More

As someone who has just taken up photography since getting my iPhone, I really enjoyed my afternoon with Joss in Palermo Hollywood. As well as learning of iPhone features and Apps, Joss told us about not only capturing images, but creating them ....then we ventured out and applied what we learned, all the while experiencing what this beautiful city offers....

This was a great and original way to see different parts of the city. My photography skills were basic to say the least but after an afternoon with Joss, I found myself looking at photography in a whole different light. The afternoon flew by and I learnt so much. There was no pressure and everything was done to cater for... More

In Santiago, I have taken both the Weekly Tour and iPhoneography tour and I enjoyed them both! Foto Ruta is fun and exciting way to open your eyes and see a city differently! These tours are not the typical city tour which gives tourist a break from all the statues, churches, and monuments and allows tourist to tap into their... More

I have lived in Buenos Aires for many years and had a friend visit me who is a photography buff. Foto Ruta ended up being a great way for my friend to get to know a bit of Buenos Aires and for me to experience it in a new way. We did the Montserrat tour, an area that I do... More

While in BA, I did both the full day academia and the Saturday tour (Foto Ruta Weekly). I would highly recommend both. The photographers who run the tours are hugely helpful, catering to all photography levels, the days are organised really well and it is such an original way to get to know the city. On the full day academia,... More

I had only one full day in BsAs and wanted some photography experience while there. It was great. A very pleasant day of sightseeing and learning. I had originally planned to do a half day, but ended up with the full day academia - well worth while. The instructor/owner, Joss, was terrific, very approachable, hands on, and encouraging - an...

I did a FotoRuta Weekly in Palermo. The event was previously scheduled for VillaCrespo, but i received an e-mail few days before warning about the change. The meeting point was great and the experience was enjoyable! The tour, although not guided, was an excellent opportunity to meet another photographers and share experiences. The program, with a kind of instructions, were... More
