She lead us to pockets of areas to see the list manatees and away from the crowds as much as possible. We saw so many beautiful floaty potatoes up close and personal. Highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Crystal!”

“It was truly an incredibly fun and exciting experience! Our guide, Daniel, really enjoyed explaining things and always made sure I understood everything (since my English isn’t very good). When something was difficult to understand, he kindly explained it again in a way that was easy to follow. He even extended the tour beyond the scheduled time so we could see more spots and fully enjoy the experience. I was traveling alone, and he took so many great photos of me — I was really happy about that!”

“The tour was fantastic! We got to see some amazing auroras with Alejandro, he chose the perfect spot where we got to see them dancing and exploding right above us!!! You can tell he is a big fan of auroras so the tour felt like a real aurora hunting experience. Pictures were also great, but what we value the most was his enthusiasm and input into what he does… a once in a lifetime experience. We booked other tours with different companies and this one in particular was our favorite. He also speaks Spanish so it was an extra plus for us. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱!! Muchas gracias por todo!”

“Vasilieos was a wonderful guide and we met right on time. As I was the only guest, he was very accommodating to what I wanted to see and do, as well as my ability to get around, climbing stairs, etc. He gave me a lot of tips on taking a good picture and took some for me as well. I was glad there was no one else on the tour because after 45 minutes I was really tired and he had no problem ending the tour early. He accompanied me back to the "Hop On Hop Off" bus stop and made sure I got on okay. The only thing I…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 160 reviews · from $34

A practical review of Hoi An’s private photoshoot tour, with Ao Dai options, lantern streets, posing help, pricing, timing, and honest tips.

“One of the highlights of our trip! Our photographer Rin and makeup artist Ha were both so friendly and made sure we got the best photos no matter what. They instructed us how to pose and provided us with everything we needed. The experience was fun and one of the best ways for us to see the city. We moved from one location to another, seeing the place and getting pictures as well. I suggest you book late afternoon to get shots of the old town with the sun and at night (with the lanterns). Thank you Rin and Ha, we had so much fun!!”
