Very enjoyable and wonderful tour guide

Yudi was a very knowledgeable and enjoyable tour guide. I especially enjoyed the boat rides. I skipped the cycling, I haven’t cycled for decades and it was too hot. But I enjoyed the other activities and felt like I learned a little bit more about Vietnams economy and especially it’s commitment to organic farming.
