Jens_G, Jul 2026

We had a great day and a wonderful excursion. Our tour guide Hoa did an outstanding job. It was very pleasant to have her as a guide. At every location, we had enough time to sightsee, rest, and ask questions about the history and the places. She gave us a lot of information. Our driver was also very good and friendly. Both were very flexible and attentive. The food was delicious and the restaurant is a very nice place. The tour shows wonderful places in this great city and there are no bait-and-switch offers where you can only leave once you have bought something. The organization was excellent (via WhatsApp the evening before, pickup and return transfer punctual and at the hotel as agreed). We would definitely recommend the excursion. Best regards, Jens
