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.

Fantastic photography tour. - What a fantastic few hours around the markets and China Town with Adrien.
It was a last minute booking and I'm so pleased I did it. Adrien was a pleasure to be with and his enthusiasm for street photography is contagious.
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing places I wouldn't have visited on my own and came home with memory cards full of images.
Will definitely get in touch again if I'm in Ho Chi Minh.

An inspiring tour to Saigon‘s China Town - I can definitely recommend the Cholon photography tour with Adrien. First of all he knows a lot of hilden places I never would have found or stair cases I would not have dared to climb. Secondly, he speks Vietnamese which makes interaction with locals a lot easyer.
Adrien made me feel very comfortable throughout the tour and is more than willing to share his skills.

Probably one of the best photo tours in Saigon. A must-do! - The several hours spent with Adrien in Saigon were the highlight of my visit to HCMC. Adrien is a friendly and knowledgeable guide and an outstanding photographer who shares tips and advice to help you improve your framing and technique on the go. Adrien knows Saigon well and speaks English, French and Vietnamese, which makes the experience even better to get a few facts and info about the neighbourhoods visited and daily activities that you will witness. Enjoy this fantastic tour, get good walking shoes and take photos with Adrien in one of the most photogenic cities in the world. This is a must-do even if you stay only a few days.

Couldn’t be any better. Really, really good! Highly recommended! - A very rich experience because Adrien takes the time to understand your photography aspirations and technical level and then takes you to fantastic places in District 11 and Cholong you won’t ever find by yourself. Starting with morning coffee shortly after pickup, he builds a relationship with you from which he can help your skills and also present subject matter in which you are interested. So much fun and very satisfying! I will repeat the next time I am in Saigon.

Fun Photo Adventure- Highlight of My Trip - Adrien was a fabulous guide! I spent 2 days with him in a variety of locations around Saigon. He was very flexible and we spent time exploring and photographing together, but also taking time to talk. Adrien provided great context on the city but also really great tips on how to get the most out of my photography. The photos were because a bonus to a great day of truly being within the sights and sounds of the city. This was the highlight of my week in the city.
