Excellent tour and tour guide (“Dem”). - The Ho Chi Minh mausoleum. Our tour guide (“Dem”) was knowledgeable, articulate, funny, energetic and organized; all you could ask for in a tour guide.

Value for the money, and a mustly talented guide, a must do in Hanoi - A well packed Full Day tour, of all you must see in Hanoi. Professionel driver, in busy Hanoi. Well combined and arranged sightseeing tour. Must impressive was the guide thoug. He was named Lee, and gave us multiple times examples of his deeply impressive knowledge in spots, geographics, social and ethnological aspects, and how to tackle slightly annoying participants. Extreme value for the money!

Highly recommend this tour - Mr Chuong Lee was a wonderful guide. He was interesting, informative, professional, kind and caring. It was totally worth it to take this tour with him to navigate these venues optimally, but especially on a rainy day. I highly recommend.

Excellent Tour - A full day in which we visited all the major sights: Tran Quoc pagoda, Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, Museum of Ethnologies, Temple of Literature and Hoa Lo Prison. Plus a chance to see how lacquerwork is made. A delicious lunch was provided, and our guide Lee was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. An excellent tour.

Whirlwind tour - Group of 28 people, so not too bad but even though it’s a full day tour it is just an overview of the sites- we probably had 10-15 minutes each site after explanation. Guide gave information then let us explore, I prefer if we got more information about the sites but this isn’t really marketed as a detailed historical tour so you get what you get. We only had a very short time in Hanoi so this was the fastest way to hit the majority of sites in the time we had. Will say our guide was good and experienced in structuring the tour so we waited the minimal amount of time to see Ho Chi Minh, we arrived a few days before the 70th reunification and so at times there was an extensive line. Food was ok, standard for large group tours, and guide took in account any dietary preferences (this group had no special allergies or foods to avoid).

Disappointed - To begin it was big group, guide Lee was l conducting like a general very in polite and not interactive. Kept rattling to show how knowledgeable he is. Add to the misery a rainy day. Bring a Friday cannot see Mr. Ho chi min body it's maintenance day. Chaos at the security to enter Ho chi min memorial. Lunch was ok nothing great about it. Very disappointed with my Vietnam trip.
