Fred our experience guide was everything you want. He was patient with me and my new camera, he was inspiring, he knew his stuff. I had lost all confidence in photography and he lit that spark for me again. Thanks so very much Fred. Awesome morning.

Kevin took us to some out...

Kevin took us to some out of the way locations that reflected local life and interesting subjects to photograph

Nice local tour

Quoc_T, Nov 2025

It's a nice local tour anchored by two key locations and several other stops. Locations aren't too far apart so the amount of walking isn't bad. Recommend doing this tour on the weekend. Easier to get nice photos due to less local traffic congestion. Highly recommend it.

Inspired

Diane_K, Sep 2025

What a fabulous tour. I learned so much of what I can achieve with my camera and got so many tips I now look at composing my photos so differently. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to just “point and shoot”

An exceptional street photography learning experience

Patrick_S, Jul 2025

Trung took me to some locations that I would never have found on my own and all but handed me some brilliant shots on a silver platter. I have a fair amount of experience with photography, but mostly in the realm of landscape. Trung understood where I was coming from and effectively shared lots of concepts that helped me to understand the mindset of street photography. Trung was a great teacher and I had a terrific experience with him.

Great Expirience

Elizabeth_T, May 2025

It was a great experience, learned a lot of new tricks for street photography. And we learned some cool facts about Vietnamese culture. Would definitely recommend.

Kevin was a great tour...

Chauncey_O, May 2025

Kevin was a great tour guide. He was friendly, personable and showed me a lot of the non-tourist side of Ho Chi Minh while helping me sharpen my photography skills. Highly recommend

Just Book It

Jason_P, Mar 2025

Quiet simply, this is one of the best tours I’ve taken in over six weeks’ experience traveling through Vietnam. The guide, Kevin, dispensed all kinds of great tips, pointers and advice and brought me to places in Saigon that I would’ve had a really hard time finding on my own. No matter your degree of interest in street photography, this tour stands out above the rest. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

Explore Saigon with your camera.

Had an amazing experience on the Saigon Photography Walking Tour with Fred. He took us to hidden corners of the city that we never would have found on our own, including unique spots inside apartment buildings. His insights on accessing cool photography locations and engaging with people for portraits were incredibly helpful. Fred's knowledge and enthusiasm made this tour a nice mix of adventure and cultural immersion. I recommend this tour for photographers of all levels.

Kevin is the Beat!

Neil_R, Jan 2025

Kevin provided an outstanding experience. We walked through several local neighborhoods in Saigon and took some amazing photos. Kevin had patience and would explain the local culture. He spent a lot of time with us as it was just my wife and I and Kevin. This was a highlight of our vacation. Highly Recommended.

A must tour for learning street photography!

Joshua_R, Oct 2024

Fred was great teacher showing us what to look for when taking street photography and being experimental with angles, exposure and light. Learnt a lot from him and would highly recommend his tour for all levels of photography

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi Joshua, It was our pleasure having you join us on the experience. Angles and light are what it's all about. Great that you learned something that you can carry with you on your travels! Best, Fred

Say Cheese in Vietnamese

David, Oct 2024

My tour lived up to my expectations. Fred was my guide and really knew his way around the topic of photography. He taught me a couple of things I didn’t know with regard to my new iPhone 16 (the best camera is the one that I always have in my pocket). We toured some unique buildings and a temple, while visiting with some folks on the streets along the way. It can honestly say that I got some interesting and beautiful shots from the tour. We began with coffee and ended with lemonade. We also shared some fun chit chat about life in Vietnam from an expats experience. Very much recommended.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi David, Great to hear you enjoyed yourself. It was fun having you on the experience. I am glad you were able to get the most out of your phone. Hope we can see you again ! Best, Fred.

Very useful photography experience

Leonas_G, Jan 2024

Well prepared and interesting tour with professional photographer. For me, as total beginner- it was really good experience and exploring photography backgrounds. Very friendly atmosphere, interesting stories about HCM, a lot of tips and tricks about making pictures . Big thanks to Frederik!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you Leonas. It was great having you join us. As a total beginner there is so much to learn and explore in the world of photography. Happy to hear you got a lot out of the experience! Best, Fred
