Traveler Reviews
I had such a wonderful experience overall — everything was thoughtfully organized, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. A special thank you to our guide, Lucas, who truly made the experience exceptional. His energy, professionalism, and friendly attitude stood out right away. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure everyone felt included and at ease. Lucas has a natural way of connecting with people, and his enthusiasm really elevated the entire experience.
I had a wonderful experience on Ao Dai Try on Photo Experience. My guide, Jayson, gave me a lot of personal attention, I constantly felt the care, he even reminded me to drink water and protect myself from the sun. I originally was prepared that in the group would be less individual attention. However, it turned out that I was the only one, and the reality exceeded my expectations. It was amazing, and I had truly unforgettable impressions from both communicating with Jayson and the way he worked with me as a client. He shared a lot of interesting information about the places we visited, took m
I loved it. Very friendly and funny tourguide + lovely ao dai’s to choose from + flexible rundown. If you’re on a solo trip, make sure to so this experience because I truly enjoyed it!
Lucas was a great guide! He took great pictures and was very patient with us during the heat.
Tunny was amazing with our Ao Dai photo shoot. He was quite funny & made our love fun. He checked if we were ok with the heat. He also always checked if we were happy with our photos. It’s laid back but you get to have amazing photos in Vietnamese traditional wear.
I had such an amazing photoshoot experience in Ho Chi Minh City! I think it’s important to go in with the right expectations — this is more of a laid-back, local experience rather than a polished, professional shoot. That said, the photographer was friendly, patient, and clearly put in effort to capture different moments and angles. The photographer took a lot of photos (easily a few hundred), which I appreciated because it gave me plenty of options to choose from. Overall, a good experience if you want lots of candid-style photos and a relaxed vibe. I would 100% recommend this experience to a
I absolutely loved this tour—Jayson Pham made me feel instantly at ease and turned the entire photoshoot into such a fun, memorable experience. He expertly guided me through poses and even helped me nail the perfect smile (which I usually struggle with!), while also sharing fascinating bits of history whenever I had questions. The dress selection was stunning, with so many beautiful options to choose from. If you’re visiting the area, this is an experience you don’t want to miss—highly recommended!
Had an excellent time with Jason! Thought it would only be photos near the Church, but was surprised to know that it was a tour around many landmarks in the city. Also, I signed up for my girlfriend, but they had male outfits available too. So we were both able to get photos in the Ao Dais. Definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a tour of the city with a personal photographer.
We had the tour with Lucas. He was very friendly and personable. He made the experience fun and light hearted. He helped hold our bags while taking photos of us. He provided a bit of detail on the locations we went too. For improvement, perhaps having a list of certain poses that might work better in different situations and help guide the participants more. Overall enjoyable experience and good we did it in the morning otherwise the heat would be unbearable. The ap dais were limited and some were a bit uncomfortable too
Jayson was an awesome guide! He showed us some highlights and history around Ho Chi Minh City and took wonderful photos of us in ao dai! I think there were at least 100+ photos with good direction and photography skills. Highly recommend!
主要な写真スポットを効率的にまわることができました。アオザイも色々なデザインがあり選ぶのが楽しかったです。ベンタイン市場でマンゴージュースを飲みたいといった要望にも対応いただけて満足しました。
A very friendly guide introduced me to many attractions. It might be an issue with the design of the ao dai, or perhaps with the shop itself. For girls who are on the curvier side, the types and choices of ao dai seem rather limited.
