5.00Trinh was so delightful! She took us to the historical places which were close to each other. She narrated the history and connected them with anecdotes of life in Vietnam. Walking around was fun!

5.00We had a fantastic day with great views, and learnt so much. The war museum was very touching and eye opening! Our tour guide, Titus, was so informative. (We have done a few tours recently, he has defo been our favourite guide so far!!) The whole fam agreed it was like going around with a family friend/brother. He took some great photos for us and everything he told us was both relevant and interesting! He also recommended two great Vietnamese restaurants, definitely try the food when you are here 😋!! Would 100% recommend to anyone!!

5.00This was easily the best tour I’ve done in Vietnam! I booked it super last minute (around 9:30 for a 14:30 tour), and by 10, my guide was already confirmed! My guide, Thanh Thanh (Andy), was the best part. Super friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. They spoke fluent English, answered all my questions, and shared so much extra info that made the tour even better. Another thing I appreciated was that there was no pressure to buy anything—it was all about learning and enjoying the experience. Honestly, I feel like I underpaid for how amazing this was! If you’re booking, definitely ask for Andy if you can—they made the tour unforgettable! (Attached picture taken by me, Andy took much better pictures, if that's what you like!)
