It's a MUST if you visit Hanoi! - One of the highlights of my vacation and a must do for everyone visiting Hanoi. It was a real joy! Nguyen answered all my photography questions concerning (street) photography. This combined with the best possible locations and (if needed) help with composition. Tour was booked October 31st 2024

Amazing experience - Old quarters is vibrant and beautiful. Walking the narrow alleys and bylanes with Nguyen was just amazing. He showed me the best places to take photographs. At my request we spent an hour at Hanoi train street which was the best part of the photo tour. Would highly recommend this tour to all photo enthusiasts.

Great company to explore Hanoi and take photos! - Top signature experience! Definitely one of my favorite things I've done in Vietnam. I love taking street photos/videos but felt a bit overwhelmed to explore on my own. So booking with Nguyen was the best idea! He asked about my background and what do I usually film (which is videos, not photos haha) and we went on exploring! Had a great time and learned a lot interesting stuff about culture and ways of living from a local person. If you're in doubt of activities in Hanoi -choose this one (even if you're not a pro photographer), it's 100% worth it!

Fantastic photo tour - We had a great experience with Mr. Nguyen. He was very easy to communicate with. He tailored a photo tour based on my needs/wants as I’m a professional photographer.

Definitely recommend! - This was the best thing I did in Hanoi. Mai was a fantastic guide and teacher. He took me through different markets and interesting spots around the city.

Insightful with the Lens - I originally had my tour from 8am - 10:30am and told Nguyen that I'd have to cut it 30 minutes short because I had a flight to HCM at 12. He gracefully accommodated me and asked if we could meet up at 7:30am instead so I could get the full tour. It was a really insightful and beautiful tour/ experience with Nguyen. He's very easy to talk to and is exceptional behind the camera. Whether you're new to photography or have been shooting for years, it's worth checking this tour out.

Great way getting to know Hanoi - It was simply the perfect way to discover the city! Ngyen is really cool guy who knows not only a lot about photography but also about Hanoi and its people. He showed us great spots for street photography while also sharing a lot about the daily live in Vietnam. I can absolutely recommend it!

A wonderful way to see Hanoi - My guide Lily, had a wonderfully relaxed way about her. We shared our different photography experiences and techniques with each other an in doing so was able to take on some of her knowledge when it came to looking for scenes or compositions that tell a story. I was taken through the local streets of the Old Quarter and the local markets which, some of which I know I wouldn't have ventured into without having been shown. It was a worthwhile experience and one I would recommend anyone do.

Absolutely no value - Nguyen was super friendly and welcoming, so I really wish I didn't have to write a bad review, but unfortunately I was very disappointed with this tour. The description gave me the impression that I could Learn photography tips to improve my skills as a beginner, but what I got was a brief look through my instagram feed, where he asked why one photo was good, but didn't add to anything I would say. He also briefly showed me a list of the names of the different composition rules but didn't go into any detail on explaining them, so I learned nothing. He then said that we should take photos as we stroll around the city, focusing on negative space as the composition rule, but he didn't explain the rule beforehand, so I had no idea what to look for. He basically just walked around and took his own photos, and didn't guide in any way. At one point he asked if I got some good photos with negative space and I said I don't know, and that was the only point he referred to my photos. At no point did he look at the photos I took to critique them so I could improve. The tour suddenly turned into a photoshoot, which is not what I was looking for, since I had hoped to improve my own photography, rather than to have my photo taken. But around halfway through, he just asked me to pose and it took me a while to realize that it had turned into a photoshoot, since he stopped taking street photos and kept asking me to pose. I was so bored from the posing and was just over the whole thing. In the end, I learned nothing, was really bored and felt like I had wasted the limited time I had in Hanoi. I wouldn't recommend.
