Saigon Street Photography Tour - One of the most amazing experiences of all my travels around the world! This is a must do when you go to Saigon!! Trung Del was an amazing historian, teacher and of course photographer! Very humble but he is awesome! Off the beaten path with hidden gems along the way! I even photobombed a wedding shoot! Pics taken with my iPhone 13 (don’t judge I hate upgrading). If I could rate higher than a 5, I would!! Add this to your itinerary, you won’t regret it!

Discover Saigon in a different perspective - Great time, learning and experience with Fred. Hidden spots, insights and photo shooting. Definitely a different way to know Ho Chi Min.

Must Do Photo Tour - Fantastic Tour. We were a family of 4 ranging from amateur to advanced. Fred had something to offer each of us. I definitely moved out of my comfort zone both in photography and city exploration. The tour starts at a cafe - you then progress through different city scapes from back alley ways to major streets a temple and even some residential spaces. Each offering a unique opportunity. With Freds guidance I noticed my 15 yo sons photos significantly progress. This is not just a photography tour- there is a bit quirky culture and history thrown in. Not to mention Freds rapport with some of the locals which lends itself to fantastic photo opportunities for his guests. This tour is a must for anyone interested in street photography.

Witty, Insightful this tour brings Saigon’s History and Streets to Life - The Saigon Street Photography Experience was a highlight of my trip. Fred was knowledgeable, practical, and refreshingly humorous. His depth of local knowledge meant every stop had a story, and going down hidden alleys or lovely quarter you would never even dream of going down on my own, with the perfect balance of history, culture, and street life for both learning and capturing great shots. And the coffee spots were great. If you want local insight and stunning photos, this is a must.

Photographic discovery of Saigon guided. Great! Thank you Kevin:) - Yeah, sure. Small group tour. Discovery of the city and photo spots accompanied by Kevin. Excellent guide. Great experience to discover the city differently and immerse yourself in the Mood of old buildings and small alleys. Really nice. For English speakers.

An exceptional street photography learning experience - 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.

A must for photography passionates visiting Saigon! - I joined my guide and passionate photographer Fred for this super fun morning activity. I can highly recommend it even for beginners - a low end camera with a standard 18-55 or 35 mm lens will get you by. The tour runs very smoothly across five photogenic locations in Saigon, but also the in between walks provide great opportunities to get that one nice shot. Most people have really no idea of these spots, which makes everything more interesting. I greatly enjoyed the photography guidance and all the fun facts about the places we visited. Thank you!

Such a beautiful experience! - I had a fantastic experience with Fred showing me some of the hidden gems of Saigon during our tour. Saigon is an amazing city with nice mixtures of pold and new architecture, culture and urbex-style apartment buildings. We visited these sites at exactly the right moment with beautiful light on the right place. I've added some of the pictures I made during this trip and very thankful to the tips from Fred regarding composition and light to capture this all. I'm very happy with the pictures I could took and can highly recommend this tour if you want to see something really special outside the regular tourist areas! I will definitively do this again should I be able to visit Saigon again.
