Having visited the Dolomites in Italy with Max as well as visiting Patagonia through him, I can hand on heart thoroughly recommend Max Patagonia tour. I’m pleased to say that these tours are easily some of the best I’ve ever had the good fortune of attending. We went above and beyond in trying to capture something truly unique during the Patagonia Photo Tour and I picked up a wealth of information from both trips!

We were absolutely blown away by how beautiful Patagonia was, and we got photos that were beyond anything any of us expected thanks to Max and his incredible location knowledge. We learned a ton on this Patagonia Photo Tour which far exceeded my expectations. It was easily the best photo tour of my life and I have been on MANY!

The Peru photography tour was amazing but even better was spending time with Max! He is a true professional at teaching, having fun and being a great friend on the Peru Tour. This was an absolute trip of a lifetime and the pictures we got are some of my all time favorites and are hanging on my walls at home and in my office. If you’reevaluating different photography trips after being on several others, this Peru Tour would beone at the top of my tour list!

I went with high hopes on Max's Dolomites summer tour and had the type of rare experience that exceeded my expectations in every way.The thing that unexpectedly impressed me the most was Max, as I'd never met him before. He is as much a kind and caring person as he is a gifted photographer. He is also an excellent teacher, both by intention and example.

I joined the Dolomites tour with Max, and I experienced one of the most amazing photo tours ever.Max was a GREAT help with composition, camera settings, etc, so every participant gets the most amazing shots.Hotels are great, close to the locations, with breakfast included. I highly recommend the photo tours with Max, I'm just waiting for the next opportunity to get into another one.

I participated on the Dolomite summer tour with Max Rive and from the many tours I've been on, this was the best photographytour ever! Not only was the Dolomites tour amazing, but also Max is the greatest Photography instructor!

I absolutely loved the Peru photography trip! There was so much versatility in the
trip and the shots we got were incredible. I almost never repeat a trip and I would consider doing the Peru trip again because I enjoyed it so much. Max does a great job finding amazing shots for all the customers, and really spends all his time helping us get once in a lifetime shots.

After the Peru tour I decided to name him Max 'GOAT' Rive. Not because Max can climb mountains in the dark, off the trail in search of that perfect photo spot, but because I felt he is the 'Greatest Of All Time' photographer/ instructor there is, period. His detailed planning to find the perfect spot and being there at the right time.
