TESTIMONIALS

  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!

  Photographic workshop with Luka in Croatia was one of the best things I did during 2019! Everything was well prepared and my only responsibility was to enjoy the days!

  We loved our photo tour with Esenko Workshops in Winter 2019. Not only does Slovenia offer many many magical scenes, the food and accommodation were fantastic too. We... read more felt at home with Luka our tour leader. We are so happy that we chose Esenko tours, there were a pleasure to deal with from our initial enquiry to our tour. We thoroughly recommend Luka and his team for anyone wanting to capture the magic of Slovenia.

  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

  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. 🙂

  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.
