Having Pieter as our photo guide was such a joy. He is knowledgeable, nice sense of humor, and patient with questions. Did the morning and sunset tour and enjoyed both thoroughly. The morning started out with a cup at tea and a learning session by the ferry. Took the ferry to a fishing village and It was so amazing and... More

This was really a special morning and we enjoyed every part of the tour. The centerpiece was a visit of a local fish market, which offers you a great variety of photo subjects. Etienne really motivated us to try new angles, new perspectives and especially getting in contact with the people and therefore our "photo subject". So we were able... More

Even if you are not a photographer, these tours are a great experience of the real Hoi An at a bargain price. The sunrise tour starts with a hotel pickup at 4:45am, and a Vietnamese coffee and talk about the technical aspects of using a camera while waiting to catch a ferry with the locals to a nearby fishing village....

My husband and I booked in for the sunrise tour (4.50am start but with the effort) with Peter. We also did the sunset tour too. Despite a torrential rain storm we got stuck in, Peter thought on his feet and ensured we didn't miss out on any photo opportunities. He carefully explained basic camera settings and why you should use... More

A fun trip out of Hoi An to see villagers sorting and selling fish. Magical morning light to take photos. Pieter was helpful with advice on how to take better photos and also how to approach people to take their photos. Well worth the time and the little expense to participate. I have done trips with Etienne in the past... More

I have attended both the sunset and sunrise tour with Pieter. And I love the opportunity to shoot something that I otherwise would not. The tour takes you to places you probably would´nt go to by yourself. Untouched villages. Most people attending is not that experienced when it comes to photography and they mostly shoot pictures on "auto" or "A"... More

Pieter our guide / instructor was informative and knowledgeable providing some very good advice about getting to know your subject. However the size of the group, poor light and some rain made it difficult to get the level of one on one guidance that a real novice like me needs. We did the afternoon / sunset and the boat ride...

Hello Gavin, First thanks for sharing your experience on Trip Advisor. I do find it a little unfair that you blame us for the "poor light" and "rain". Things like this tend to happen and there is nothing we can do about that. Even though it is dry season now, it sometimes happen. Also, I do not know if you... More

I booked myself onto the sunrise tour having done a night photography course in London earlier this year. The start time may be early, but it was instantly worth it as I witnessed the most incredible sunrise I have ever seen. The tour takes you to a rural village, the likes of which you will not see unless you do... More

I arranged this photo tour for my husband during our stay in Hoi An and he says it was one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip. A beautiful way to start the day, watching the fishermen come in with their catch, then visiting a fish sauce factory. Our friend's 8 year old son even joined, and he loved it,... More

Picked up from hotel in a nice van by Pieter and travelled out of town to catch ferry still dark. There were 6 of us in the group. Had a local Vietnamese coffee where each of us introduced ourselves and explained what we knew about photography. Pieter then outlined the tour and talked about exploring your camera in greater detail... More
