Highlights
  • Momentlives - Vietnam Photo Tours - A unique experience as we photograph Hanoi at the beginning of a day
  • Long Bien Market - Be picked up at 4:45 am and travel to Long Bien market - the most bustling market in town and one of the busiest markets in South East Asia, an excellent place for travel photography practice. Here, we will see into using different modes and settings for our camera. Master the ISO techniques, and learn to master different camera modes.

From a vantage point, explore the market through your lens and capture hundreds of local shifting cargoes, either by pulling cart or carrying on shoulders, from one point to the next. Different stalls are lit up by small light bulbs with different colors of cargoes.

We will walk into the market and be a part of this incredible traffic. Once you’re in it, the market becomes an organized chaos, ruled by carts, bamboo baskets, racing cargoes carriers and loud voices.

Later on, walk in the Old Quarter of Hanoi and see a different city at the start of the day. Our walking routes will get us through the different streets of the Old Quarter while capture the daily life of the local with your camera.

We end the tour with a bowl of traditional Vietnamese Pho, coffee and review the photos you have taken with advice from Momentlives photographer.

Professional and extremely pleasant guide. A really great and alternative way to experience Hanoi. - What a great experience. I booked the Hanoi by dawn photo tour for my wife, because she’s the experienced photographer. I just tagged along. And what a great morning that was. My wife had a really nice and professional experience. Tried new photo techniques and compositions. Son (Mike) was very pleasant and informative and knew what he was doing. He also went out of his way trying to help when my wife had a problem with the memory card. Even though that I didn’t take photos it also was great for me experiencing the market and the old quarter by dawn. Our highest recommendations.

Interesting Experience - Mikey, our guide, reminded us that it would be overwhelming with activities in the market. So it is better if we have some ideas in mind of what we want to shoot. This is a piece of good advice as it allows us to focus and get the best out of the tour and photoshoot. Such is the attentiveness and thoughtfulness of the guide

Excellent experience - We had a great Hanoi Sunrise Tour with Momentlives. Our initial communications were with Mike Nguyen. He gave clear and prompt replies to all our inquiries. On the day we were picked up at our hotel around 5 AM by our guide Mr. Hung. We had an amazing time visiting vibrant wholesale vegetable market at dawn. Later on we visited various places in the city and local market, observing locals at their morning rituals of tai chi and group dancing. The tour finished by an excellent morning meal of Pho at a traditional local eatery, followed by a Vietnamese egg coffee. Mr. Hung was very friendly and informative, with very good English. We could recommend this tour to any tourist visiting Hanoi.

Visit to the flower market - The whole tour was great from start to finish. Prompt pick up at my hotel followed by an amazing adventure of Hanoi in the early morning. The flower market was a highlight. The Tour guide was great so informative and friendly. He helped me with my camera and photo composition. A trip to the food market and finishing with a local breakfast. The trip was so good I thought about doing it again.
