Disappointing visit
Rachel D,May 4, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00The operator didn’t have the info and so he didn’t come to the rv at 7:30... I finally sent a message and he arrived at 8:30... the tour had already started so I missed the 1st monument and the time at the museum was very short... In addition, at the war museum, the guide told us that there were many explanations in English written so he was waiting for us in front... We made the tour alone. The second visit was the same: he gave some explanations and we visited alone. At the Reunification Palace, the visit was more interesting but at the pace then to Ben thanh he went around the great belt walking in front without a word and the visit ended. I am quite disappointed when I read other comments...
