Take to the streets of Ho Chi Minh City (also known as Saigon) with your camera in hand and capture the essence of Vietnamese culture. On a Ho Chi Minh City photo walk with a local host, you’ll quickly discover there’s more to the city than meets the eye! There’s plenty of Ho Chi Minh City photo walks to choose from, but we love the ‘Say Cheese! Saigon’s Photography Walking Tour’. The tour begins in one of the cities oldest coffee shops were you’ll enjoy a fresh cup of coffee and get to know a little bit about your host. Get ready to follow your local host (and passionate photographer) around the streets of Saigon, capturing the Khmer, Saigon, and Chinese cultures through the lens of your camera. As you explore the city on foot, you’ll experience the local culture first-hand and learn how these ethnic groups live together in harmony. This photography tour in Ho Chi Minh City also takes you to a colorful flower market, Cho Quan Church, and the Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment where you can observe a group of native Saigonese people living their daily life. The final stop on this photography tour in Ho Chi Minh City is the Ben Thanh market, a traditional Vietnamese market found in the heart of Saigon. If you’re looking to discover a slice of Saigon from a time gone by then a photo tour in Ho Chi Minh City with a local host is the perfect way to do so. All photo tours in Ho Chi Minh City can be 100% personalized to your needs and requirements, just let your local host know about your preferences, and they’ll ensure you have a day to remember!
Great tour by Thien, who was amazingly knowledgeable on the history of the area, and with plenty of personal stories to add. We visited photographic areas of Ho Chi Minh City, but when Thien learnt of my interest in the local markets and eateries, Thien was also able to accommodate these into the tour. This tour was one of my highlights of my visit to Vietnam, and I will easily recommend Thien to family and friends on their future visits.
We were on a cruise ship and arrived at the port 90mins away. We arranged a driver however Thien now has this driver contact and I would highly recommend her choice. She took us on a tour of the coffee shop, local markets, eating our way through as we went. There was something for everyone and it was amazingly peaceful and authentic. Thien was considerate yet informative. We were with my 6 and 1 year old children and she catered to their needs so well. We left thinking we could do that same tour again or book another one with her! She is honestly worth every cent, and we are so so glad we had her guiding us. If time is short or you want a real life experience in Vietnam then please book Thien. I recommend her 10000% to everyone. Especially cruisers and short holidays in Ho Chi Minh. We will visit again soon Thien!
We had a wonderful afternoon with Thien. Her enthusiasm for her home city was matched by her friendly personality. Throughout the tour we gained a real insight to the city and Vietnam in general. Having a 'private' tour meant that we could ask lots of questions and Thien also made sure that she covered places that we wouldn't be covering on our time in the city. Walking around the sights on your own is fine, but if you want to find out what a place is really like, book a tour with a local. Thien is 100% recommend 🙂
We had a wonderful walking tour with Thien through the various districts of Saigon. You can’t get more local than this. Thien is very known about her city and can give you great insights to life in Vietnam in general and Saigon specifically. You will have ample opportunities to take photos and stop whenever you like. If you want to get a true picture of this amazing city don’t hesitate to book your tour with Thien. We started out as strangers and parted as friends 😊.
