Luc gave us a guided tour through a number of landmarks in Districts 1 and 3 in Ho Chi Minh, including an open market, Chinese and Buddhist temples, Reunification Palace, Lacquer picture showroom and the famous War Remnants Museum. Luc spoke fluent English and gave us a detailed history and meaning to all the landmarks. We learnt a lot about Vietnam history and culture during the day. The tour also included a buffet lunch in a well known hotel. Luc is an excellent guide and we would certainly recommend this informative and pleasant tour.
