  • If Participant cancels within 3-2 business days prior to the start of their class, Participant shall be offered a refund or credit, minus a 25% administrative fee of the price paid per participant.
  • If Participant fails to cancel or reschedule 2 business days or more prior to the commencement of scheduled class, or does not attend said class, Participant is considered a “no show” and is not entitled to any refund or credit towards future classes.
  • If Participant is "no show", participant may reschedule by paying a $50 extension fee if Participant contacts CourseHorse within 24 hours after the end of the scheduled photo tour.

We are not responsible for Participant “no show” due to acts of God, transit delays, medical emergency, street closures, etc. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis at the schools sole discretion. Participants who decide to leave a class already in progress, for any reason, will not result in a full or partial refund. Joining a class late will also not result in a full or partial refund.

If a class is canceled by the school for any reason other than weather prior to the start of the session, Participant shall be entitled to a full refund or a full credit towards another class. Classes are “rain or shine” and every effort will be made to conduct a scheduled class. We reserve the right to make changes to any itinerary whenever, in our judgment, conditions warrant or if we deem it necessary for the convenience or safety of participants and instructors. If the school cancels, changes a location or itinerary of any class, We are not responsible for any cancellation fees or other costs incurred by participant.

The school may change the location or itinerary of a photo tour (and may move outdoor class indoors or move indoor class outdoors) due to any conditions outside the control of the school (including but not limited to weather conditions, transit strikes, protests, etc.). Every reasonable effort will be made to operate itineraries as planned, but alterations may still occur after final itineraries are sent.

    Five Stars ***** This class was exactly what I wanted and more. My husband and I took a class with Zim, a superb teacher. Not only a great teacher, Zim has a great sense of humor and really guided us to not be afraid to get a great shot. We look forward to taking another class with Photo Safari: Central Park!

    I have tried to learn photography skills from a number of sources and found Zim's approach to be most effective. She has a great combination of talents: extremely knowledgeable, listens well to what you want to learn, teaches in a way that you learn and won't forget.

    Great class! Zim is able to make this class fun even when the class has varying levels of photography skills. Although it’s a group setting she still gives individual attention and advice. This was very helpful for me since I was just trying understand my camera a little better. While some of the more advanced people had other goals. I am really glad I took this class. I would definitely recommend it.

    The class was really good. Zim was a really good teacher who enjoys photographing. Lots of humor and she teaches me that I am definitely not an idiot using P mode instead of manual.

    I took this exact class last year when I was in town and enjoyed it so much, I took it again with the same instructor: Zim. The class size was small, which was a plus, but it was Zim's style of teaching that hooked me. She kept the information at my level so that I didn't get either overwhelmed or bored. She took extra time to show me specifics of using my camera, how to get a good shot, and more. Bonus- she's just the nicest person! Hope to take her class again- either this one or another one that is offered. Thanks, Zim!

    I spent 4 days visiting NYC, going to museums, galleries, shows, and well...basically doing the NYC "thing", but I have to say that this class was the highlight of my trip. I learned so much! I think this class would work for just about anyone- beginner to advanced photographers- Zim spent a lot of time with each student. HIGHLY recommend this class! Thank you, Zim!
