Up early with an expert photography and city guide - I landed in Hanoi and was instantly overwhelmed. I did not know where to land my lens, neither how to get where I wanted to be. Going out early with Brian was lovely. I got a feel for the local community and how to calm my focus in all the bustle.

The perfect introduction - The time with Tung could not be more exciting or more valuable. This session, Hanoi Explorer is a great introduction to Hanoi taking in some of the most special places. Starting with the 6am Ho Chi Min city to Han Oi express in deserted streets then a quick walk over to Thong Nhat Park to capture the sunrise tai chi practice. Tung’s guidance is invaluable that helped me get shots that will long be admired. His style of quiet coaching and sharing his vision helps my enthusiastic amateur become just a little better. I enjoyed it so much it would be my first go to place on a return visit to Hanoi. From there over to Long Bien Bridge – get ready to watch the world pass by – either on the bridge or beneath it. It is a place you could stay for hours and get amazing shots of Hanoi living its life. Again it is Tung’s quiet guidance that makes the shots I took stand apart. From there into the real Hanoi old quarter for a few last shots and a steaming bowl of pho. The perfect introduction to Hanoi

Great Photography tour - Our photographer guide was Tung Phan who has an extensive experience being a photo journalist and photographer. Started the tour on time and was very helpful in explaining where we were going and the objective of photos at the site. He is very knowledgeable, professional and helpful in obtaining great photographs at each site. We used Grab (similar to Uber) to go from site to site which worked well. If you want to see some places to photograph in Hanoi your will not find on your own. I highly recommend this tour. It is a whirlwind tour to get everything in. Ended the tour with tea and pho for breakfast!

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.
