What to Expect from the Itinerary
This tour is designed to be a focused, 1-hour session that captures the essence of Hoi An through your lens. You’ll be picked up from your hotel — a real plus if you want to skip the hassle of finding your way — and then transferred to the best spots in town for your photoshoot.
The photographer, often Trung, known for his experience, knows exactly where to go to make the most of each location. You’ll explore iconic sites like the yellow walls of ancient houses, narrow lantern alleys, the Japanese Covered Bridge, and the riverside of the Hoai River. These settings aren’t just picturesque—they’re the backdrop of countless postcards.
The Best Times for Photos
One of the best features is the flexibility to choose your preferred lighting. If you love soft, peaceful images, a morning shoot during the gentle dawn light is available. For a warm, golden glow, sunset sessions are ideal. If you’re after a magical, lantern-lit scene, evenings are perfect, and you even have the option to include a boat ride and floating candles to add a dreamy touch.
How It Works in Practice
You’ll wear an Ao Dai provided by the tour, along with accessories—no need to bring your own unless you want to. The photographer will guide you through various poses and styles, mixing traditional elegance with natural candid shots. Reviewers have highlighted Trung’s knack for finding the best angles and spots, which makes the entire hour feel more like a scenic tour with a professional photographer.
Photo and Video Deliverables
Expect to receive unlimited original photos taken during the session, giving you plenty of options to choose from. Afterward, you’ll get 50+ professionally edited images within 48 hours, perfect for printing or sharing online. Plus, a bonus short video—vertical or horizontal—will be uploaded so you can quickly post your memories on social media.

Professional Photographer and Personal Service
Having a private session means all focus is on you, and you won’t be limited by a large group. Trung’s skill is evident in the results, as reviewers note his ability to identify the best spots and angles. The experience feels more like an intimate portrait session than a touristy photo tour.

Cost-Effective for High-Quality Memories
At $59 per person, including all the digital images and a professional photographer, this experience offers excellent value. Compared to what you might pay for a studio session back home, it’s a great deal considering the quality, authenticity, and scenery.
Flexibility and Ease
With hotel pickup and a flexible schedule, it’s designed for convenience. The tour runs from early morning to evening, so you can plan around your other activities. Plus, the option to cancel free up to 24 hours in advance offers reassurance should your plans change.
