5.00What made this a great tour was the guide, Casey. She was outstanding and made such an effort to accommodate my interests! We also visited a variety of interesting sites within the French Quarter. Overall, if she is your guide, I would highly recommend.

5.00The French Quarter, it’s architecture, ambiance, history and all. It’s good Hanoi has preserved this unique Vietnamese charm. We enjoyed the company and conversation with our intelligent young guides.
This service must have a previous preparation for their people and select the best.
