    A well planned guide by Nam , very knowledgeable and passionate about the rich history of Vietnam. We enjoyed this guided tour by Nam. It gives you much more insight than being on your own . The guide takes you through a well detailed history of Vietnam explaining events in detail and how they align to the present history. Being a self taught student of history myself i found Nam's guided tour excellent . We arrived at the B52 Victory museum a bit late because we did spent a considerable time at the Maison Centrale but we will make a day trip to the B52 Victory Museum another day .What a great day
