5.00Nhien has been amazing! She showed me the stunning imperial city, and being alone she tailored the experience om my necessities, adding a personal touch and we entertained pleasant conversations. She is extremely professional and dedicated, it has been more than a guided tour, it has been a full immersion in the citadel and its story, all thanks to her passion and ability to connect with people. Thank you Nihen!
