This was the last stop of our tour in Vietnam and this tour has taught us so much. The detail that was given when viewing the Jade Emperor was fantastic. Then touring the Palace and the museum was really great. We learned so much and loved the detail and history that was given. I’m glad that we were able to take this tour with Tony as it added so much understanding of Vietnam.
We had a fantastic tour. Duc was so good giving us information about Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh City sights. At each of the places we visited on our itinerary he was most informative and patient. It was all done at our own pace. We felt well looked after and secure. Recommend the tour highly.
