Venture into Hanoi’s most photogenic street market
Wander through alleyways packed with odd secondhand goods, vintage electronics, auto parts and other bric a brac, before ending up in a local veterans ping pong club set in an unforgettable location. One for the street and people photographers, and a truly Hanoi experience.
Delve into real daily life along Saigon’s canals
Capture images of a hidden side of Ho Chi Minh City, including a picturesque floating village of houseboats, a thriving local wet market and plenty of people photography with friendly locals. Camera in hand, you’ll create a pictorial story of a way of Saigonese life on the verge of disappearance.
Escape the tourists into Hoi An’s Thu Bon river delta
All aboard for an authentic private photo tour that takes you to the heart of Hoi An’s spectacular Thu Bon river delta. Our tour is designed to immerse you in Vietnam’s traditional fishing culture, which has been the lifeblood of this region for centuries. Led by our local expert photographer, you’ll learn how to capture stunning shots of the fishermen and women plying their trade amidst breathtaking views, away from the crowds of tourists.
Explore inner city living in an atmospheric area of Saigon
Get off the tourist trail and discover one of Saigon’s most intriguing local neighbourhoods – an area of vintage apartment blocks and vibrant street markets known as ‘the colony’. As the sun drops, capture the unique feeling of this place with special lowlight photography techniques.
Capture the best of Hanoi in a single action-packed day
Shoot from dawn till dark on our most popular city day tour. Includes train street, Reunification Park, the Thieves Market, our iconic incense village tour, and exhilarating Long Bien night market.

Document real life at Vietnam’s most colorful craft village
Only a short trip from Hanoi, the villagers here produce traditional red incense, making for stunning imagery at all stages of the process. We get behind the scenes, mixing with our local friends, photographing their workshops and of course capturing those iconic images of dazzling red incense.
Explore the city’s bustling waterfront as it wakes for the new day
Fishermen carry their haul in bamboo coracles to a small curve of beach, where a vibrant market awaits. On the horizon, traditional teakwood trawlers lay at anchor in the East Sea as the rising sun turns the sky gold. From seascapes and beach markets, our focus turns to portraits of working life, as we head up to Danang port.
Capture the action beside Saigon’s tracks as trains roll in from the north
This quiet part of the city, surprisingly close to the centre, is like a snapshot from bygone times, with narrow, sleepy alleyways, vintage coffeeshops and Saigonese showing their traditional smiles and hospitality. Along the way, we’ll work on composition techniques and use of various settings to take your images to the next level.
