I didn’t do the sunset tour but did a second sunrise tour around District 4. We loved our first tour with Adrien so booked another one! During to tour, Adrien explained how he would shoot a particular scene and also reviewed our photos so that we could learn by trying something different. We wandered through buildings, alleys and even a roof top which gave us a different perspective. We also stopped to eat and drink at local street vendors and cafes which I would never had found by myself. My photography improved almost instantly I am now looking at my environment very differently. If you want to capture the real Saigon I suggest you wander with Adrien. As a welcome surprise, Adrien gave us a booklet which reinforced his teachings and also sent me some photos of me taking photos - which was lovely as I am normally the one taking the photos.

I had an incredible first visit to Saigon thanks to Adrien. From the moment I reached out to him, his communication via email and whatsapp was excellent, and he crafted a unique itinerary that allowed me to discover the hidden side of the city. Adrien’s ability to speak Vietnamese made it easy to connect with locals. I was traveling with my son, who was using his iPhone for photography, while I had my camera. Adrien made the day equally exciting for both of us. He ensured that we could capture amazing photos, whether with a professional camera or a smartphone. It was a fantastic experience to share as a family! Not only did we explore the hidden gems of Saigon, but Adrien also made sure that our day ended with a beautiful sunset boat ride along the Saigon River. This gave us a breathtaking panoramic view of the city from the water—a perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable experience !

I would like to thank Adrien for guide me in the hidden places around Saigon. Even I’m not a pro photographer he supported me for the setting of the camera and also in the composition of the pictures. I will treasure his teachings for new adventures in street photography

This photo tour was awesome and I would highly recommend it! First, Adrien took some time to teach us a bit about how to better use our cameras, also explaining what we would focus on during the tour and how the day would be organized. After that, Adrien took us in many different streets and areas where the lights, the people and the overall athmosphere changed from one street to another. It was a great experience to learn from Adrien's knowledge both about photography and of the city. Whether you are already a good photographer or a beginner, you will find here a great experience and get back with amazing photos.

Adrien met me outside my hotel at the agreed time. He was full of openness, kindness and great stories of his time in Ho Chi Min. This set the tone for the whole afternoon. Unusually for someone who is clearly a very fine photographer, he is also a very good teacher. He totally listened to my wish to find the absurdity and humour of street life in HCM and adapted to where “I was at”. The day was filled with real texture of City street life but also of Adrien’s life and experiences in SE Asia. The contrasts and parallels with Europe and what he loved and enjoyed about his new home. He is exceptionally generous with his time and guidance and his passion for his home and the photographic art and science is obvious. For me it was an afternoon of exceptional sensory experiences and real photographic wisdom. So many new ideas, feelings and insights. For example riding passenger on Adrien’s scooter in the unique HCM traffic while he imparts his observations on life is a wonder and not to be missed. I absolutely recommend this tour to all. Best, Dennis
