Overview

Short on time but want to pack the most photos and fun into your Saigon visit? This Ultimate Saigon Photo Experience is for you. From dawn in the city’s thrilling Railway Village to a fascinating community of floating houses, and street photography in the atmospheric ‘Colony’, this is the number one way to experience and photograph the true Saigon vibe.

What you will be doing

Saigon Railway Village

Kickstart your day bright and early with an exploration of Saigon’s enchanting Railway Village, where you’ll witness the arrival of trains from the north against a backdrop of timeless charm. Despite its proximity to the city center, this tranquil enclave boasts narrow alleys, quaint coffee shops, and locals exuding the warmth and hospitality of Saigonese culture.

The Rivers Edge

Following a delightful breakfast of bánh mì and invigorating Vietnamese coffee, we’ll whisk you away in our private vehicle to District 7. Here, you’ll have the chance to photograph the hidden gems of Ho Chi Minh City, including a picturesque floating village, bustling local markets, and engaging encounters with amiable residents.

The Colony

As evening descends, we embark on our final adventure to one of Saigon’s most captivating locales - the Colony. Amidst vintage apartment blocks and lively street markets, you’ll hone your skills in low-light photography to capture the area's unique ambiance as dusk settles in.
