5.00The young male guide's lack of understanding of English and thoughtfulness allowed me to tour the sights of the city. We also went on a full day tour of Ha Long Bay, but if we knew, we should have gone on a full day tour of the city without going to the crowded bay, which is just far away and uncaring.
