Great experience with Sandy

5.005 star experience with Sandy. She was very attentive, explained everything well and overall such a nice tour guide. We hit all the major tourist sites like The Mausoleum, train street, don xuan market, etc with time offered to explore each place and she helped us bargain too. She asked if there was any place we'd like to visit outside of what was planned but honestly there was nothing since she covered everything. We stayed at a hotel in the Old Quarter and she came to meet us there. We had a private car which was a plus, water and she bought us egg coffee at train street. Overall a top tier experience that you definitely shouldn't miss.
