Hear It From Our Happy Shutterbugs

Real stories from fellow photographers

My family (husband, 9 year-old child) and I participated in a photo tour with Andy in February. We enjoyed it so much, and decided to come back a few months later, in April! Our experience was absolutely mind blowing. Andy took us to the most unique places we would never have been able to find or visit on our own

Marina Lan United States

Andy ensured we had the best opportunities to capture Costa Rica’s wildlife and landscapes. He works closely with selected local wildlife guides and photographic help was on hand if you needed it.

Julie Kirby United Kingdom

Incredible and moving trip. Physis put together a tailor made experience that exceeded our expectations - both photographically but also showing the very best of Costa Rica.

Gary Lloyd United Kingdom

Our wish was to photograph various wildlife (birds, mammals, reptiles, insects) in Costa Rica during three weeks. We quickly gave up organizing this ourselves. But we didn't want a group trip. We found the perfect solution with Andy Bezara from Physis Photo Tours

Erika Saner Switzerland

From start to finish, my experience with Physis Photo Tours was nothing short of spectacular. I had the privilege of working directly with Andy, the founder and guide, and I can say with confidence that this was one of the most enriching and rewarding travel experiences I’ve ever had.

Andres Bieringer Dubai

I recently had the pleasure of joining a photography tour with Andy, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I reached out to him, his communication was fantastic and reassuring. As a photographer, I had specific needs, but my wife and daughter are not into photography. Andy expertly planned the tour to ensure it was engaging and enjoyable for all of us.
