Great experience
From the timeline to the itinerary, the tour was exactly how it was planned out. I like how it was organized and planned accordingly. I felt like it was not rushed. We had time before and after our photoshoot. During our photoshoot, we spent enough time at the scene to get what we wanted. Viet is an experienced photographer who was willing to help and advise when needed.
