Amazing Experience photographing in Vietnam - Vietnam in Focus is surely the best option if you pretend to have a full and real experience into Vietnam. Since the first contact they have always been very kind and fast (even considering different time zones). The experience itself was amazing. The guides can lead you to the best spots at the best timing, regarding light, and experiences. I'll be back in Vietnam soon, and surely join them again

Hanoi Explorer - Brian is an awesome photography guide! He has given me so many tips about best settings and angles to capture the sights of Hanoi markets. His interactions with locals helped me alot too. I've learnt so much about Hanoi in one morning. Thank you!

An incredible experience - This was an amazing tour! My guide, Tung, is a photo journalist and not only did teach me photography, he also guided me in exploring and telling stories. Thanks for Tung, I have a completely new perspective and deepened relationship with Hanoi. Hai Yen & other VIF staff were also extremely professional & considerate. I look forward to many more adventures with VIF!

An Early Morning Winner. - Getting up for a 4.45 start sounded horrendous... BUT we were so pleased we made the effort. We saw the early morning life of Hanoi that is so easy to miss. Our day began in the dark with some lowlight photography and as the sun rose the city gathered pace, as did our photos. Our guide, Boris was fantastic. Super knowledgeable, patient and generous with photography tips and great locations. I was taking photos with a mirrorless camera and my husband was using his phone to make videos and photos. We both came away knowing a lot more about Hanoi and very pleased with our varied selection of images. We both got a great deal out of this experience and I would highly recommend it.

Early start but so worth it - This was a great photography experience. Brian was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and helpful and knew some fantastic places to get some unforgettable images. The early start was well worth it to catch some images of the early train in a less touristy area and the market was full of amazing people and sights. Great tour thanks

Excellent photo tour - I had an excellent photo tour with Brian. Our tour started early (5:30am) and we photgraphed train street, Long Bien bridge, local wetmarket, and various locations around Old City. Brian was very knowledgable about photography and provided guidance on composition and subject, and knew the area very well so that we could travel to various locations within the short time before my flight. (I do not think I would have found all of those locations in that time on my own). Overall recommended.

A most memorable morning! - Our photo tour guide Brian is a working Hanoi photographer. Being US born, there were no language barriers. He picked us up on time and he called cars for our travel to the different photo spots in our itinerary. Brian gave clear suggestions on how to enhance my photography and accommodated all my questions and requests. The Vietnamese coffee with banh mi sandwiches was a welcomed break during the tour. It was a wonderful way to experience Hanoi and very worth getting up before dawn and U got so many great photos!
