Should I join a photography tour or explore iconic spots on my own?

A private tour can be a photographer's advantage: local guides know the best angles and less-crowded times, and boat tours let you shoot from the water. Self-guided walks offer flexibility but require planning for ferries and crowds. For iconic locations like Cinque Terre, a private day trip balances access with creative freedom.
