Lush greenery and serene waterways just outside Hoi An made every photo feel like a postcard, with traditional fishing nets and farmers working nearby fields blending nature and culture. Viet, your knack for finding perfect angles helped us freeze Hoi An’s rustic charm and natural glow, especially at sunset. The locals were so welcoming, sharing stories over steaming bowls of phở that hit all the right spots.

Our hotel was a charming retreat, clean and tucked into the natural surroundings.
You made this tour a photographer’s dream!
