Life Changing!

Once in a lifetime trip. Luka knows what he is doing, and does an excellent job! We never had to do a single thing, except show up.

Too much fun and wonderful photography!

Is it possible to do serious landscape photography and have too much fun at the same time? Take a trip with Esenko Workshops to find out! There were 4 of us that wanted to do a private photo tour of Slovenia this past October. We were referred to Esenko Workshops based in Slovenia, who did a wonderful job of arranging all the logistics. Our little group was lead by Matija Špelić, one of the pros on the team. Never in my life have I had more fun than the time I spent with Matija and photographing Slovenia! I know the other members in our little group would say the same thing! In fact we had such a wonderful time, we're going back in 2027 for 2 weeks this time with Esenko Workshops and Matija!!

Another Fantastic Workshop - The Dolomites in Winter

I’m a returning customer to Esenko Workshops after visiting Slovenia a few years ago. This review is for their Winter Dolomites tour that was lead by the excellent and dry humoured Dan Briski that took place in January 2026. The pre-tour communication was excellent, and I was joined by 3 other photographers to enjoy some landscape scenery and wasn’t let down. The tour itinerary was flexible and weather dependant, and Dan’s knowledge of the area prevailed in order for us to maximise our photo opportunities. The accommodation was comfortable, the food stops great, and the company fantastic. I am looking forward to going on another photo tour with Esenko in the future.

Slovenia Winter 2026 Photo tour.

We had a small group of 3 photographers for this tour plus our guide, Dan. I had never been to Slovenia before and I had a great time. The weather was not cooperating in giving us snow but Dan worked very hard to find us quality locations to shoot every day. I feel like I saw a lot of the country and learned about it too. The bed and breakfast we stayed at was fantastic and I really thought everyone we encountered was great. What a beautiful country. Thank you for showing it to me.
