An early morning that is SO worth it to get some great photography and culture. - Fuong was a great guide and she brings her insights as a journalistic photographer to her tour. I got some great tips and had a wonderful time using my camera in ways that I didn't know I could. This was also a great cultural tour as we explored one of the markets just as it was waking up. I highly recommend this tour and this organization.

Fabulous route in Hanoi - Fantastic morning tour with Brian. The four hours went by so quickly I didn’t even notice. We started in the train tracks and moved to different spots around the city to capture the street and portrait pictures that inspire me. Brian was professional and fun. He shared useful technical tips and advice to improve my skills. We finished the morning with a sweet coffee and banh mi :) Hai Yen was very helpful during the process and even after the tour. Very pleased with the whole experience with Vietnam in Focus! Cảm ơn 🙏🏼

Great photo walk - This was a great photo walk taking in Hà Nội’s famous train street, local markets and street scenes. A walk round a local park and then to the railway bridge designed by Eiffel. Our guide, Brian, was friendly, enthusiastic and gave great photography advice as he guided us around.

Excellent opportunity for street photography in Hanoi - This early morning trip along some iconic photo locations in Hanoi was amazing and very well organised. Tung showed me several nice places and provided excellent advice on the camera setting to capture the decisive moments. I had sufficient time to make pictures and am very happy with the results. After a few hours shooting, the tour was concluded with a coffee and a nice breakfast at a local restaurant. I can highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in street photography in Hanoi.

If you’re into photography, do this tour!! - This tour is fantastic for anyone who wants to see some of the best street/urban photo spots in Hanoi. Phuong was a phenomenal guide who not only provided some valuable photography tips but also gave a huge amount of insight into Vietnamese culture and history. Definitely recommend!

Great experience with Boris - I took my girlfriend and a friend on this tour even though we all live in Hanoi. My girlfriend wanted to get into photography so we got her a new camera and informed the tour that we were newbies. Boris was extremely helpful in teaching her how to frame her shots, where to have her models stand, how lighting works, and how to make adjustments to her camera. Highly recommend the tour!

A trip highlight - worth the early wake up - Waking two jet-lagged teens at 4:45am on a rainy morning isn't always easy but my kids' excitement about the On the Tracks photo tour got them up and moving quickly. And the tour did not disappoint. As soon as we met our photographer guide Brian and photojournalist Hoang outside our Old Quarter hotel in the pitch black and mist we knew it was going to be a great morning. My kids love trains and photography, so the tour was perfect for them, and walking along the tracks in a local neighborhood gave us an incredible look at life in Hanoi, something that can be hard for tourists to find. One of my kids is about to start a photojournalism program in college, so learning directly from two professional photographers gave him amazing insight into photography as a possible career. Learning about the local neighborhood, watching its morning market open, getting photos of dancing couples at a local park and shots of market goers from the Long Bien bridge gave us such a wonderful look at regular Hanoian life. Brian was a terrific guide, super friendly, knowledgable, and helpful in teaching us how to set up shots and find the right locations and angles for getting impactful, interesting photos. Hoang shared a lot of great technical tips and advice, too, about being a working photojournalist. In addition to the photography skills they shared, we loved getting coffee at a local cafe and learning Brian's tip on making an early-AM banh mi even better, by adding an egg! In addition to the photography, we learned so much more that morning about Hanoi and Hanoians than we ever could have on our own. We've gotten a lot of great feedback on our photos and have so many fun memories from that morning. We highly recommend the Vietnam in Focus tours to our friends. Thank you to Brian, Hoang and VIF for such a terrific and memorable experience.

Best Hanoi train street photo opportunities - We had a good time with Boris in the morning. From train street, to early market, to the sunrise at the lake, to the delicious Banh mi breakfast, we enjoyed the great time and had many good photo opportunities

Well worth getting up at 4:40 am - Boris was fabulous. Interesting, attentive and a great teacher - both with a creative vision and my camera settings. Money well spent.
