Excellent Guide for tour of Ho Chi Minh Museum.

Interesting opportunity to better understand Vietnam’s political and cultural history. Our guide, Linh Chi, was excellent. Her English was quite good and she was very solicitous of our interests and preferences.

Alison_B, Sep 2024

A really good tour - well worth it!

My tour was with Lily, who was a brilliant, informative, and very entertaining guide. She explained the history of Ho Chi Minh Presidential Complex and the Temple of Literature very well, and she shared plenty of further recommendations for other places to visit in Hanoi. The tour packs a lot into three hours. There’s a lot of information to take in and not much time to linger at the various sites, but it’s a fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Hanoi.
