5.00Vinh was a wonderful guide for this 4 hour tour. It was just me and one other individual, so having the small group felt nice in that I could ask random questions when I wanted or ask Vinh to repeat because I didn't hear. I came in with very little knowledge on Vietnamese history, so it was fascinating to hear about all the different political changes and wars that happened throughout Vietnam's history when visiting the Independence Palace. It was hot as expected in May, so it was so nice to have a short break to cool down in the van when moving from place to place.
Fantastic
