What kind of travel experiences are you craving for 2024?
I started hosting photography-based tours to Iceland almost 10 years ago out of my love for travel and adventure with others. Since then, I have added Scotland and Nepal to my tour list and I will offer more destinations in 2025.
I aid people in their photographic journeys by offer pre-trip and on location camera instruction, both with the technical and creative elements. For my guests that aren’t so photo centric with their travel goals, they get to experience epic places that I choose as a visual artist.
Aside from hosting tours, I also plan itineraries for self-guided tours. The car and accommodation discounts along with my contacts and resources pay for my planning fees alone! Plus, my daily planning and timing for visiting sights saves you so much time - you get to experience more!
If you are looking for a customized, fun adventure in 2024 or beyond, please connect with me so we can start planning together. Either join a planned tour or I can create one for groups of 5-6 guests.
Here are a few reviews from prior Ellynism Photo Tours:
Ellyn Rocks Iceland!! I hope I get to go back to Iceland again soon ❤️ Ellyn puts together a tailored made bucket list travel itinerary, and no detail is too small. I was so lucky to get to join the group, none of whom I knew prior to the trip. We had a blast talking it up on Facebook beforehand. One thing about Ellyn is that she gets to know you, and has this magical ability to match personalities of the people in the group whether it is a good fit or not. Ellyn knows hiking, horses, the food (Hint: Arctic Char! Hands down the yummiest), local customs, the land, off beaten paths to avoid crowds best as possible, horses, the landscape and photography too. Oh and she’ll make sure you bring the right gear and layers of clothing too. The trip was out of this world, 13 days too short…. I know I would have never gotten to see and feel a part of Iceland like I did without taking Ellyn’s private tour. Ellyn is way beyond Exceptional! She cares about each individual on her trips. You will not regret taking one of her trips! I will say it’s one of the best trips I’ve taken in my life. Well worth the splurge. And don’t forget to hit up the beer spa!
Had a fabulous epic tour of Iceland. Learned how to use my camera and take many frame-worthy pics! Lots of active time hiking, so much to see...great food, hotels were perfect. Everything was so well planned in advance and laid out for us. All we had to do is show up! Highly recommend an Ellynism tour - Can't wait for the next one (!)
We had such a great trip with Ellyn! Every detail was looked after so we could just enjoy ourselves. And I was so impressed with her flexibility and responsiveness to our group’s needs. Would definitely recommend Ellyn!
My mom and I took traveled to ICELAND with Ellyn and it has been one of the best trips of our lives. Traveling with Ellyn is traveling with an expert who will not only guide you with all her photography knowledge but will narrate the history and her personal perception of this beautiful country. I highly recommend her photo tours, I look forward to joining her in another one soon!
