I travelled to Hanoi alone and Momentlives kindly allowed me to go solo on a combined rice paper village and incense in one day. Mike replied all my emails promptly and gave his suggestions which are both professional and very helpful. Finally we decided to go to the rice paper village in the morning and the incense village in the afternoon. The incense village workers would be gathering the incense sticks in the afternoon and it would be just as good as morning. I was greeted on the day by a local guide and a driver. The local guide (sorry I forgot his name :p) spoke good English, kindly stopped and bought me breakfast because I forgot to pack a breakfast with me, and took me to the village. He is very passionate about photography. He showed me various interesting spots in the village where you can get really good shots, read the light and the scene, and being able to communicate with the locals, he spoke to the locals so they won't feel awkward having a foreigner sticking a camera in their faces or being in their premises, which is always a great help and something I could not achieve by going there on my own :p I was driven back to the hotel, had lunch on my own, and set off for the incense village in the afternoon. We got to this one incense village workshop where a number of workers were hard at work doing various tasks. My guide made the right decision of sticking to this workshop and waited - the golden hour came and it was beautiful. I would definitely recommend Momentlives to any photographers regardless of which level they are at.

3. Tho Ha Handicaft Village Photo Tour

Vietnam in Focus - Photo Tours and Workshops

In the surrounding village and markets you’ll be able to capture wide angles, with frames full of activity in every corner of your shots, explore different focal ranges, perspectives and compositions. The village workshops are dark and moody, and use of natural lighting can create a fantastic atmosphere and emphasise the subjects and your composition. Mixing with the villagers and craftsmen also offers a plethora of portraiture shots and a cultural perspective not possible on your typical tour. The day at Tho Ha will provide most photographers with technical challenges but also an amazing platform for creating documentary photostories, portraits and landscapes along the river's edge. 

Inclusions: All transport., Food and drinks, Professional photographer leader., Professional photography workshop.

Exclusions: Gratuities

While opportunities to actually get out and take photos are extremely limited right now in my location I decided to sign up for a portfolio review session with Vietnam in Focus. Street and travel photography aren't my main style so I was looking to learn from my previous attempts. I booked a 90 minute session which was conducted via video call. The session went smoothly. Boris, my reviewer, had spent some time looking over my images prior to the session so the discussion was constructive from the off. I wasn't sure what to expect but the discussion was really in-depth. We covered a wide range of topics that gave me things to think about both while out with my camera and in post processing; such as colour harmony, framing, context, creating elements of a story, the subject and use of negative space. It was a rewarding session and something I would definitely think about doing again as a way to keep improving.

I have been living and working in Southern Vietnam for 10 years and I love this country very much. On our first time to visit the North, we decided to travel to Ha Giang, Ban Gioc Waterfall, and Ba Be Lake. We chose Conical Travel according to one of our friends who did the trip with them. The six-day trip amazed and impressed us with the beauty of the natural landscape in the moutainous areas. Each of the destinations we visited has its own mesmerizing features and we had chance to interact with the local people. Our kids had great lessons about how the people in these regions survive without the modernization. In short, the trip was very very very excellent. We love Vietnam so much, from the bottom of our hearts! Andrew, Lorna & kids

I visited Hanoi with two of my friends, and we were so lucky to find Dien. He took us through old town to have some amazing food and coffees in places we never would have found without him. Finally, he took us to the train tracks to have some drinks and watch the trains go past. It’s an experience I’ll never forget, and I was so glad that I came across Dien. A really great guy who felt more like an old friend than a tour guide. I’d recommend him to anyone.

This activity offers a nice comfy excursion out of the busy city of Dalat to the countryside. The coffee shop which is part of this tour is quite nice to sit and drink a cup of coffee as it has some nice exposed view of the coffee farm. The falls are very nice. There are some walks down and up the elephant falls but it is worth it as you can get quite close to the waterfall and behind, underneath the fall! I also have to recommend it for the super nice guide, Tin Tin, humorous and knowledgable. I recommend it!
