The 2 weeks with David in China took us on a brilliantly organised journey  where we saw sights and went to areas that I don’t believe would have been accessible to solo or less connected travellers. We learnt many nuances of technical photography as well as getting smart and individual guidance on the art of seeing and of capturing memorable images.

I’m an experienced traveller and I can say without reservation that this journey was the most exciting and productive I have undertaken. We had great food, excellent company in a group with a common purpose  who were made to feel welcome and valued and we gained access to David’s vast photographic knowledge and experience.

I wouldn’t have missed it for anything !

The 2008 China trip was very successful - well organized, extremely interesting and we had continual photographic opportunities (plus continual training as required). My congratulations to David and his team for putting together such a great trip. I would thoroughly recommend any photography enthusiast, at any level, who is contemplating doing a Harradine trip, to go; it will be a great experience you will hold forever.

David has a unique talent and professional skill for training in photography and related software. His courses are always high energy, enlightening and motivating.

As a former travel agent I am aware of the organisation that goes into trips such as these from behind the scenes and David did a fantastic job leading the tour and adapting to issues and circumstances that arose while on tour. He guided the group from one fantastic photo opportunity to another and I enjoyed the group interactions, as well as the free time.

While the pace was fast, I am really happy with the amount of things we saw, the range of places we visited and the photos I took and I’m looking forward to the next trip.

The David Harradine 2008 photographic tour was nothing short of superb, I have been raving to anyone who will listen ever since returning. David provides a great mix of on the go tuition and information combined with a superb photographic itinerary. Dave's personality engenders a great sense of group camaraderie and this made our photos better due to the sharing of information and experiences with others with the same passion.

It was not only the quality and quantity of photographic subjects that were superb, the food, activities, accommodation and transportation was also excellent and made for a trip that will live in my memory as one of the best experiences I have had in my life.

I enjoyed the 2008 tour so much that I am pretty sure I will be joining him again in 2009 if space is available.

David did an amazing job arranging the trip and executing it. Everything went to plan and I was continually surprised and excited about what we were doing each day. David has a vast technical knowledge of photography and is only too willing to help with any areas you may be having difficulty with.

The sights on the trip and the people we saw were amazing, from travelling on rivers, to going in caves, climbing the great wall, watching amazing shows and talking politics with the local guides. The accommodation was of a high standard and the food got better as the trip went on. I don’t think anyone got sick and that is something I had anticipated, having travelled extensively in Asia and the Middle East.

I would love to go travelling with David again and I am waiting for the next location. I am happy to speak to anyone or answer questions about the trip you may have.
