5.00Me and my partner had joined a private tour with Matthew, a local enthusiastic guide. Even before the tour we already had heads up on what we might need on the tour, which was very helpful. On the tour itself we had Matthew explain a lot about the history of Vietnam and the war. And answered all my questions. Overall it was a very accomadating and a great experience!
