Incredible opportunity, visiting, amazing people and seeing their crafts and culture
We had a fabulous opportunity visiting this village and two other villages for our day long tour. Mike, our guide, was very flexible and let us make detours along our route. We also visit a pottery village and a fish trap making village. I think that was a highlight.

Great Local experience
Visiting the rice paper village with Mike was an absolute highlight of my time in Vietnam. It’s such a unique and authentic experience to see how rice paper is still made by hand, step by step, following traditions that have been passed down for generations. Our guide was fantastic – super friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer questions. What I really appreciated was the chance to connect with the locals, not just to watch but to actually take part in the process. It felt very personal and genuine, nothing staged or touristy. You really get a glimpse into everyday life, and the people were so warm and welcoming. A truly memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to go beyond the typical sights and discover the heart of Vietnam.

Memorable experience!
I had a memorable photo tour experience with Moment Lives. James and Son were very patient and helpful, guiding me with tips and camera settings for the best shots. It was a unique experience at the Tho Ha village to see how rice paper is made in the village. I did not know rice paper was made in this way and the way they dry them in the alley and on roof tops made for interesting leading lines in photos. I also went on the other photo tours with Moment Lives like the incense village and fishing traps tours and they were equally good.

The best photo tour in Vietnam.
I chanced upon Momentlives while searching for photo guides. Was very impressed by their tours and decided to take the plunge with the rest of the group. Zero regrets and only fantastic things to say about Son, James and the rest of the team at Momentlives. Everything was well planned with zero hiccups. Both Son and James were excellent in communicating with locals (which frankly was almost impossible for us foreigners to do) and getting us unique photographic opportunities. Both Son and James are excellent photographers and that made it all the more fruitful as they did not waste our time with pointless scenes. We were packed to the brim for 4 days and it has definitely been the best of our many trips to Vietnam within the past decade. If you are looking for a reliable and efficient photo tour operator ( all of them speak superb English btw) then you can't go wrong with the first licensed photo tour agency in Vietnam. :)

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Photography Tour to Tho Ha - The rice paper making village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Photography Tour to Tho Ha - The rice paper making village cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Photography Tour to Tho Ha - The rice paper making village take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Photography Tour to Tho Ha - The rice paper making village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Photography Tour to Tho Ha - The rice paper making village?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Photography Tour to Tho Ha - The rice paper making village suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Photography Tour to Tho Ha - The rice paper making village?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Photography Tour to Tho Ha - The rice paper making village start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
