What a fabulous tour. I learned so much of what I can achieve with my camera and got so many tips I now look at composing my photos so differently. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to just “point and shoot”

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.

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!
