Awesome experience, don't miss it ! - I had the most amazing learning experience with Brian and Tung during my full day tour, capturing interesting night market scenes and of daily public life in general. We also went to the incense village where we toured the factory and saw the whole process of incense making from start to finish. Tung provided valuable tips during the visit to photograph the process from multiple perspectives.

Amazing experience with insightful photographer guide! - I did a customised tour with the VIF team and I can honestly say that this is one of the most amazing experiences in Vietnam I had. Tung was my assigned photographer guide for the trip and he was a gem in guiding me in the angles and the stories and emotions I wanted to convey through my photos. Don’t worry about having a pro camera, I went on the tour only with my iPhone.

Wonderful 19 day photography adventure - A friend and I recently returned from a fantastic 19-day Ultimate Vietnam Photographic trip. It was in every way everything and more than I expected. The planning of our custom trip was made very easy with back-and-forth conversations with Alex who was extremely patient and helpful in arriving at our final itinerary. From the moment we were met at Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City customs with a representative from VIF who helped getting us through, to the moment we were dropped off at the Hanoi Airport Hotel everything went very smoothly. As we made our way northward, we had 4 guides and drivers with us each from the areas that we were in. The guides were knowledgeable, very friendly, patient, and helpful. They were all photographers and learned what we were looking for photographically. They all quickly became our friends as well as guides. Many thanks to Minh, Cristian, Phuong and Viet!! They were very flexible regarding our itinerary and easily made modifications based on our interests and activity in the areas we visited. They also made sure, because of the extremely hot temperatures that we were hydrated and well. Our drivers were likewise great. We felt safe and secure throughout the trip, especially while traversing the narrow, windy, mountainous roads in the north. There was so much that we experienced during our trip. Wanting to have an authentic experience, we visited many small villages with ethnic minorities. A few were quite out of the way, and we were clearly the only Westerners there. We visited many local markets, which we loved and always opted to eat at local restaurants or in the market with the local people. During the course of our trip, we had the opportunity to visit the Khmer, Chams, Hmong, Hoa and Dzao people. There were so many wonderful experiences that we were able to have. Each day was a new photography adventure. A few of the highlights for me were; By coincidence we were in the Khmer area on the last day of their New Year celebration and experienced a marvelous celebration in the streets with water and flour being tossed everywhere. We planned our trip so that we would be in Meo Vac to go to the once weekly ethnic minority market area where people from the villages from all the surrounding areas come to buy and sell and socialize. It was fantastic. We were able to visit villages where most of the economy revolved around a single industry. Whether it was the brick industry in Vinh Long, the fishing trade in Hoi An, the silk manufacturing process in Nam Dinh, the incense making villages or the pottery making village, we were able to see the entire process from start to finish. In the north, we made many stops as we wove our way through the mountains to photograph the breathtaking landscapes. I can’t imagine that there is another company other than Vietnam In Focus that can offer a trip as rich and varied, geared for photographers. My recommendation couldn’t be stronger. Just beginning to go through my photographs, so I can't post more.

Unique and unforgettable way to experience Vietnam - Going to start by saying that we did three tours with Vietnam in Focus and we really can’t rate them highly enough. The set up is really professional have established a network of super talented, highly experienced and very individual guides. We had trips with Eileen (Saigon), Cristian (Hoi an), Brian and Tung (Hanoi). Each photographer had their own unique style, interpretation and take on photography and what makes a great composition. We took something different from each which was amazing. What each had in common was a professional approach, superb communication with us and the Vietnamese locals. We got to go to places that were off the beaten track where we wouldn’t have found as a tourist and saw areas of this amazing country that many will miss and in fact actively avoid. All of our guides offered advice, information experience and I’m not sure if it’s company policy but each offered to review and cast an eye over any photos beyond the tour by way of critique. Also a massive thank to Yến for her communication and patience in accommodating our itinerary.

Most incredible tour i have ever experienced - This was the most incredible tour I have been on! Not only was it private with my 2 other friends, I saw parts of Hanoi I would have not seen otherwise. I also saw these places at times I would not have gone. The assistance I recieved for using my camera ( sony A7iii) and my friends recieved using their phones (Samsung and iPhone) was perfect. We booked this tour as our first experience upon arrival in Hanoi. Land, 4 hrs sleep, go! After this tour we were able to relax and enjoy Hanoi because the tour so fulfilling. I would not have enjoyed Hanoi as much as I did without having done this tour. I HIGHLY recommend this tour if you want to see and capture your time in Hanoi. The cost is worth every penny!

Fascinating insight into some of Hanoi's most photogenic neighbourhoods. - This tour was a fantastic way to explore some of the most photogenic neighbourhoods in Hanoi. Our guides, Tung and Brian, were very friendly attentive and their local knowledge was invaluable. We came away from the day with some incredible memories and some images that we are very happy with! Communication with Vietnam in Focus was very easy and they responded to our questions quickly and very helpfully.

Photography tours in Vietnam - These are THE tours to take if you want to experience the culture, the people, and the vibe of Vietnam. Our experiences were organized and hosted by some very knowledgeable and personable guides, although I would prefer to call them friends now, after our journeys. Highly recommended.

My instagram is omg.wp. - Mr Tung is excellent and patient. He talk with us and help to arrange wonderful trip. The vietnam in focus is the most great team

One day Hanoi through your lens - It was quite a full on tour to explore some unique photo opportunities in Hanoi in one day . Equipped with local knowledge and relationships they have cultivated , we found our 2 experienced photographer guides very helpful in assisting us to achieve certain shots . We were taken to places where we wouldn’t have got to by ourselves . It was an enjoyable experience and we took many pictures that we would certainly be proud of. Perhpas one little point to mention was we found the night wet market a bit overwhelming by the end of the day. If I could do it again , I wouldn’t have organised the tour the day after we just arrived from London .
