Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

5.00This tour was a last minute booking and we were pleasantly surprised with the quick efficient response from our guide to be - David. He emailed us our start and meet times and what we would be doing. He arrived on time with the driver and we were quickly whisked away to a half day of amazing sites, from Ho. Hi Chi Minhs mausoleum to the vibrant chaos of Train Street. We saw pagodas and a temple of literacy. All along David proved to be a great source of information and we really appreciated the way he was able to put the information to us. We learnt so much and came away so much the better for having had David look after us. Well done. Viator
Fun day out in Hanoi!
