After years without using my camera, my trip to Vietnam was a nice opportunity to take it out of its closet. Adrien greatly participated in bringing this old passion of mine back to life. He was really flexible and accommodating to my preferences. His intimate knowledge of the city made the tour truly special, and his familiarity with the locals facilitated easy contact and resulted in fantastic shots. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

Adrien is an amazing companion for exploring Saigon. With a unique perspective on the world, he showed me a side of Cho Lon I had never seen before, even though I thought I knew the city well. He also provided valuable photography tips for a beginner like me. We enjoyed leisurely strolls through alleyways, old buildings, and local markets, engaging in conversations on various topics. Adrien's enthusiasm for discovery and his perspective were as inspiring as the locals and hidden spots we discovered together. To experience Saigon like a true local, reach out to Adrien without hesitation!

I had the pleasure of joining Adrien on a sunrise photo tour in District 5 (Cholon) of Ho Chi Minh City, and it was a truly eye-opening experience! As someone who has been living in Vietnam since 2011, I thought I knew the city inside out, but Adrien surprised me with hidden gems I had never seen before.
The tour took us through local markets, temples, and charming alleys teeming with life. Adrien's knack for picking unique and photogenic spots allowed us to capture the essence of the city from different angles. Scaling old buildings for top-down shots of the bustling local market was a highlight.
What impressed me most about Adrien was his natural ability to connect with the locals. His friendly approach had everyone smiling, creating an authentic atmosphere for our photographs.
Thanks to Adrien's passion and knowledge of Ho Chi Minh City, I managed to take home some incredible shots. If you're looking for a genuine adventure and want to experience Ho Chi Minh City beyond the tourist spots, Adrien's photo tour is a must-try!
