Magic - A wonderful day spent alongside Adrien to discover another Saigon, authentic, far from the tourists.
A beautiful experience, beautiful shared emotions.
A vision of your photography that I greatly appreciate, like the sharing of your passion, an approach to the population made easier by the fact that you speak Vietnamese!
And thank you for your kindness!
Don't hesitate to try this experience....

A fantastic day of photography - Adrien introduced me to an intimate Saigon, full of life and colour, outside the traditional tourist circuits. His photographic knowledge and skills fed into our discussions about our respective work and approaches. It was a great day of sharing and discovery. Thank you, Adrien.

Very nice experience to do whatever your level is! - I book the afternoon tour with Adrien, and I cannot more than recommend to do a street photo experience with him! After getting to know each others he will bring you to amazing places, « off the charts » and guide you to your journey in street photo, whatever your level is. A must to do if you like photography and want to explore the world of street photo!

Photography Tour in March: 3.5 days at the top! - I spent 3.5 days with Adrien for a Photography Tour and it was a great experience!
Adrien knows Saigon like the back of his hand.
He is very patient and an excellent teacher.
Always in a good mood, he adapts perfectly to the level of the photographer he supervises and offers very varied locations, technical tips and points of view.
Humanly at the top! Obviously, I recommend!

A sincere sharing of photography - Participating in this type of activity is always a bit risky for me because the personality of the speaker is important.
With Adrien there is nothing to fear, he is not here to give you a photography lesson but to share his passion with you.
Through this morning (for us anyway) you will learn to take a different look, to listen, to observe the "hidden life" of the streets, buildings and markets of Ho Chi Minh.
Without making any "judgment" about your work, Adrien advises you and guides you on life scenes to freeze in your camera. His knowledge of the field will allow you to discover generous and smiling people and unusual places. Friendly, smiling and attentive, I highly recommend this activity with Adrien

Best thing to do in HCMC - Inspiring and educational experience that we cannot recommend more!
We are a couple with an interest in street photography that Adrien turned into a passion! He explained us the basic theory behind a great photo, and then we put in practice what we learned in areas of the city untouched by tourists.
Adrien’s knowledge about photography and the city is evident and his passion is contagious!
This was one of the best experience we had in our Vietnamese trip - don’t miss it!

Amazing experience! Highly recommended! A must in Saigon! - Adrien is very charismatic and knowledgable. We went to two areas of the city and both were great, mostly locals and with plenty of options for photography. Great experience!!!!!!

An amazing guide and photographer! - Prior my arrival in Vietnam, the communication with Adrien via email was excellent. He made me discover many places that I had never been befor (it was my third time in Saigon). Adrien can speak vietnamese and he is not afraid to establish contacts with locals which is crucial for candid and portrait photography. Even though I am a professional photographer, he showed me some tips related to street photography, which he excels at. Adrien was more than a guide to me. He has been a real friend.
