Tien was the best guide we could have asked for to lead us on this fun and educational adventure. He was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and an overall outstanding guide. The buildings he brought us to tour were A-Mazing! He was open to anything and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour. Do it as soon as you arrive so you can revisit the places you are introduced to, some tour wouldn’t find on your own. Ask for Tien! He made our tour extra memorable. We had such a great time with him. Thanks, Tien 🙌🏼 !
I had a wonderful experience with Charm. The tour guide was very enthusiastic, spoke excellent English, and was always happy to answer any questions. The itinerary was well-organized and helped me gain a deeper understanding of the city’s history, apartments, and local way of life. This was one of the most memorable activities during my trip to Vietnam. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.
What a pleasure to have done this tour with Lucas! Full of energy, always smiling, and with an answer to every one of our questions, he really made the experience excellent. The tour was super well conducted, friendly and very rewarding. We enjoyed sharing this moment with him: a great experience from start to finish, and a very, very good memory.
Lucas is a very good guide. The activity is very interesting, you have to do it! I recommend, it is very original. You will discover some place you can't alone.
Lucas was a great guide ,and showed me places so tucked away I never could have found them ,as well as explaining the history of the places and where they fit within Vietnamese history and society .l learnt way more than just seeing the main tourist attractions .Highly recommended
