With so much to see and do in Hanoi, it can feel overwhelming to capture it all on camera in a short time. Our Hanoi Explorer half-day photography tour provides an insider’s look at the Vietnamese capital while you venture through the Old Quarter and several vibrant markets with your guide. You'll start with a visit to the lesser-known 'train street', just in time to catch the Reunification Express squeezing between houses on its way south. Next stop is century-old Long Bien Bridge, already busy with commuters. In the market below, we'll have a chance to mingle with the locals as they do a fast trade in fruit, fresh meat and other necessities. We then head across the dyke road and into the Old Quarter, navigating ancient trading streets busy with commerce. We end in the heart of the Old Quarter with a review of images from the morning. The tour is suitable for both beginner and serious photographers, and we will tailor the photography program to your interests.
Prices are per person when two book together; a solo traveller pays $167.
Larger groups pay less per person.
