5.00Our driver Long was very knowledgeable. He could speak very good English and explained us some things about every stop, that we did not expect. He also brought us to some nice Vietnamese local coffee place and made his best every time to accommodate our needs. Totally recommended!

5.00We had a great afternoon touring three tombs, an incense village, and the pagoda and a dragon boat ride end our activity. Our driver Ly was punctual and a safe driver. He was always waiting for us every time we finished a tour. He also walked us up to the ticket booths each time. We did not hire a guide. Next time we would consider doing that so we had a driver and a guide. We did a walking tour of the imperial city the morning before this activity. This made the tomb self guided tours more meaningful as we had already learnt some of the history of the different kings.
For our group of 4 people...
