I came across Esenko Workshops while researching photographic tours around Lake Bled as that was on my bucket list. My husband and I booked the winter workshop and there were... read more six in our group all together. Luka and his associate Andrej delivered a superb experience full of great locations ,information and history about Slovenia. Our group really gelled and we all had so much fun. Great food in various places and our lodgings were warm and comfortable. We enjoyed our experience so much we have all rebooked an autumn tour in 2020 .Can’t wait!

  In May 2014 I participated in a photography Bootcamp run by two excellent photographers, Luka Esenko and his co leader Jeremy Woodhouse. We were a small group and... read more spent a wonderful week learning how to improve our photography in beautiful locations in Slovenia. Great group dynamics and excellent team leaders. I enjoyed myself so much that I went back in January for the winter tour organized by Esenko Workshops with Luka and Andrej. A splendid week with good company and much laughter, good Slovenian wine and fabulous locations for each shoot. I will return again with the same group in October to see Lake Bled in its autumn colours. I highly recommend Esenko Workshops whether you are new to photography or a professional

  I had wanted to go to the Plitvice lakes in Croatia for a while and it was all i hoped it would be thanks to Lukas' amazing guiding. We took... read more in lots of other sites in Croatia too and Luka got us to some great locations. But the lakes were an massive highlight and his knowledge of where to be at the right time was awesome and invaluable. Food, accommodation and transportation was spot on. Luka was great company, as were the others on the tour - small numbers which really helps.

Would i book another tour ? absolutely and i have - i'm off to Slovenia with Luka and his company next Winter.

I promise, you wont be disappointed going on a tour Esenko Workshops

  I have traveled extensively with Esenko Workshops in Croatia, Slovenia (twice), Italy (Dolomites), and Austria. Their guides are excellent photographers and guides, and they know the areas really well.... read more And they are great people and fun to travel with. I hope to do many more photo tours with Esenko Workshops.

  After receiving a recommendation from a friend, I had the good fortune of joining one of the Esenko Workshops. Luka and his team know every nook and cranny... read more of Slovenia and the surrounding areas. Because I did a Winter Workshop, every day was a bit of a gamble with the weather. However, I learned very quickly that Luka was able to adapt and adjust to the ever changing weather conditions to ensure that we would have the best possible chance at taking amazing photos. I am not a professional photographer. Luka was very patient and kind and willing to share all of his tips and tricks along the way to ensure I had a positive learning experience. The Esenko team truly cares that you have a great experience with A LOT of laughs along the way. My favorite part was the feeling of being like "family" by the end of the trip. I've made some lifelong friends because of this.

I can't wait to take another trip with them. The planning is already in progress!

  This is the second time that I'm joining Luka's team in about a year apart. The first time was Fall 2018 and the second time in Winter 2020. ... read more I got such wonderful and amazing experiences in both tours. Both seasons offered unique and interesting landscape. In Fall 2018, I was with Andrej. He has a wonderful personality, easy-going and humorous. So the days were never boring. The tour was well organized efficiently and we went out for shooting in the best possible conditions. Everything was timed perfectly and we never missed a good opportunity. That was the trip that I had realized how beautiful the landscape is in Slovenia. So I booked Winter in Slovenia 2020 and joined Luka. He is also excellent and full of knowledge of the country and landscape of Slovenia. He worked hard to find us the best weather conditions throughout the days by checking the web-cams and driving us there to the locations. What surprises me is he also has a sense of humor. So working with either Luka or Andrej will never bore you throughout the day. The accommodations and food are so wonderful. People are friendly, warm and welcoming especially the guest house by Lake Bled. They had prepared us home-made cooking on every meal! I had a feeling of coming home after a day of shooting. Usually, I never have such feeling when staying in a hotel. I had also booked subsequent extensions to Croatia, Austria and Dolomites. They were equally outstanding as the main tour. I have so many great photos from each tour that it takes me months to process.

I have such an amazing experience with both tours that I will definitely recommend to anyone. The photography guides are outstanding and excellent! Accommodations are cozy and comfortable. Great food and service throughout. Luka is my #1 go-to photography workshop in Slovenia, no-doubt about it! In fact, I'm planning to go back a third time. 🙂
