Pics of Asia

Just back from the 3 day Central Vietnam Tour and what a weekend!nI'm early on in learning photography and my group included many brilliant photographers, but I wasn't left behind, and was given lots of help and tuition so I learnt so much. Then there were the locations - areas you just would never go to but provide stunning scenes to capture. And with Etienne guiding us through and familiar to the locals, the street photography opportunities were second to none.nThe group was fantastic company and generous with their time helping me to learn more and we laughed and chatted our way through the 3 days. I really can't recommend this tour highly enough. I would say once in a lifetime opportunity... but I am saving up for my next trip already.nThanks Etienne.

THE best tour Ive ever been on. Etienne has an energy, joy and passion for Vietnam that matches mine. He is a fabulous tour leader who held the group impeccably. We had fun, we played, we laughed, and we also did some seriously good photography. He took us to paces we would not go to by ourselves, and helped us to feel safe and comfortable, whilst still maintaining a sense of awe and excitement. This is absolutely a highly recommended company to do tours with by me. Can not fault it in any way,

The Iran photo tour is the third multi-day tour I have done with Pics of Asia and, as usual, it was an amazing mix of photography, food and laughs. In terms of the technical, this is a tour for those who either have some experience with or want to improve their photography skills in a real-world setting. Etienne will take you to the location, but it is up to you to find the shot. Of course, he will help you with all that annoying technical photographic stuff like camera settings and composition if you ask, but you will not get any of those staged travel photos on this tour. This small group tour enables you to access areas and people that larger group tours just simply cannot.nnIn terms of the destination, as a woman, I found the country and the people to be some of the safest, respectful and friendliest places I have travelled. Yes, being respectful of local customs (like the clothes you wear) does help, but it was not difficult to dress appropriately or take a separate route to the men from time to time (airport security is actually faster!). Even though I never felt I needed it, our local guide was fantastic and kept a watchful eye out for the ladies and was always there to answer my questions about what I could and couldn’t do/what might cause offence to the locals.nnHighly recommend Pics of Asia for those with a passion for photography or love of slightly more adventurous travel.

The North Vietnam Tour was a trip of a lifetime! The photography opportunités were outstanding! Etienne is one of my faves. He has a passion for photography and for helping others develop their skills. It just flows out of him.nOn the tour I literally felt like I was in another world. I’m actually planning I’m doing the tour again in 2020. I loved it that much!

This is my third dedicated photography trip but my first with Pics of Asia and Etienne Bossot.nSo with that reference point I was thrilled to finally discover a photographer who is passionate about teaching and sharing his creative skills with enthusiasm and good humor.nTraveling with Pics of Asia to Bangladesh was a wonderful experience and I am already looking forward to booking my next trip with Etienne.nnMelissa/Perth/Australia
