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.

Amazing experience in the heart of Saigon - I truly recommend taking this photo tour. For several reasons. Summarizing, Fred knows. He knows Saigon, having lived here for almost two decades. He knows local habits and people. He knows about photography. He knows about guiding his guests thru the city and amazing photo opportunities. I have taken several photo tours in different locations around the world. This one was by far the best. We went to a series of hidden gems in downtown Saigon, experiencing the city from a perspective only “natives” know, taking amazing photos and connecting with people on the street. A must do for anyone into street photography and curious to know more about Saigon.

Just Book It - Quiet simply, this is one of the best tours I’ve taken in over six weeks’ experience traveling through Vietnam. The guide, Kevin, dispensed all kinds of great tips, pointers and advice and brought me to places in Saigon that I would’ve had a really hard time finding on my own. No matter your degree of interest in street photography, this tour stands out above the rest. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

Explore Saigon with your camera. - Had an amazing experience on the Saigon Photography Walking Tour with Fred.  He took us to hidden corners of the city that we never would have found on our own, including unique spots inside apartment buildings. His insights on accessing cool photography locations and engaging with people for portraits were incredibly helpful. Fred's knowledge and enthusiasm made this tour a nice mix of adventure and cultural immersion. I recommend this tour for photographers of all levels.

Don't miss this, you will see the city differently! - This was an incredible experience! I been to the city for a couple of times already but never seen it like this. The locations We were a group of 3 solo travellers from different countries with varying skill levels, but Fred was super knowledgable, and the locations were great not just from a photographic angle, but also historical perspective, learning about the layers to this city. This is the best thing I did in this trip. Thank you Secret Experiences!

Kevin is the Beat! - Kevin provided an outstanding experience. We walked through several local neighborhoods in Saigon and took some amazing photos. Kevin had patience and would explain the local culture. He spent a lot of time with us as it was just my wife and I and Kevin. This was a highlight of our vacation. Highly Recommended.
