ART PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS At ACT we favour ART PHOTOGRAPHY as a specialist area that fits well with the cultural sensitivities, such as in Morocco where people are often camera-shy and our desire is to respond to our environment in a unique and sensitive way. We choose artists who work in photography and photo-based media to lead tours that extend the boundaries of photography into areas that go beyond straight documentary, travel log or a tourist/traveller ‘point and shoot’ mind set.

PRIVATE TRAVEL: tailor-made tours
Review – 2013 DRAWING TOUR
The May 2013 Cultural and Drawing Tour across Morocco with Rita Lazauskas was the first group tour Elaine and I had taken in 25 plus years of overseas travel. It proved an outstanding experience.
