Saigon Through the Lens

A unique look at Saigon through the lens of a camera while exploring the city’s hidden gems

For those looking to dive deeper into the history, architecture, and culture of Saigon, grab your camera and hop on to our new Saigon photography tour. Most photography tours in Vietnam are walking tours, which only allow you to explore small areas of the city. We created this half-day motorbike tour to provide our guests the opportunity to see large swaths of Saigon, in addition, you’ll learn how to improve your photography skills while immersing in the unique history and culture of the places we visit—there is something here for everyone!

Photo tours must begin with an early start (to catch the best morning light, and beat the heat!), you’ll travel from Saigon’s District 1 to areas in Districts 4, 5, 10, and 3. Explore a high-rise temple tucked into the bustling core of Chinatown. Stroll through a bustling wet market on the ground, then come upstairs to see things from a different vantage point. Halfway through, we stop amidst a bustling residential complex for a popular Vietnamese breakfast called Banh Mi Chao (panned baguette).

This Saigon photography tour features other stops such as the Gustave Eiffel-designed Rainbow Bridge, and a 100 year old alleyway occupied by the ancestors of Cantonese settlers who arrived in the city 300 years ago. Our guides will not only give you insight into the locations you’re visiting—they’ll also assist with camera settings and how to best capture the moment in a city that never seem to stand still!
