Disappointing Tour

Kit_T, Jun 2023
The itinerary and transfer between the places were ok/as expected, it was very disappointing to book an English speaking guide but then get grouped together with a large Vietnamese speaking group - this really should have been two separate groups. The result was, for the people speaking English, we had the minimal explanation and guidance (a lot of the places we were left to read our own descriptions on the buildings) as the guide’s attention and focus was on the larger Vietnamese group, which we were not able to understand or interact with. This should have been much better organised as the one day highlight of Hanoi, especially as there are several other tour groups offering a very similar itinerary.
