A fascinating insight into the daily lives of the people who live in 'The Colony', Saigon. - This tour gave us a fascinating insight into the people and their livelihoods of a Saigon neighbourhood known as 'The Colony'. It's an incredibly atmospheric location with its fading apartment blocks and its lively street scene. We felt very lucky to be able to capture the daily lives of the people who live there. Our guide, Eileen, was very friendly and attentive and her local knowledge was invaluable. We came away from the day with some incredible memories and some images that we are very happy with! Communication with Vietnam in Focus was very easy and they responded to our questions quickly and very helpfully.

Excellent Saigon photography tour - My wife and I enjoyed our tour with Adrien to the Cholon district of Saigon. Adrien was an excellent guide - very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Saigon, and helpful with my street photography. Unfortunately it rained for most of the time, but we enjoyed visiting and photographing the apartment blocks and temples, and have numerous nice images from our tour. Vietnam In Focus were excellent to deal with, and communicated very well.

Great Photo Tour - The guide, Paul, was great and the Colony was full of life and colors. Wonderful for street photography with many alleyways and friendly folks. At the end there are also two markets (flowers and food).
