An unforgettable visit.

A very nice visit to three of the most grandiose tombs of Vietnamese kings and Thien Mu Pagoda. We were accompanied by Austin whose explanations were enlightening and who knew how to answer all our questions. A cultural visit not to be missed, perfectly orchestrated.

Afternoon Adventure

Absolutely wonderful afternoon with my driver Ly. Included a bonus stop to overlook the mountains and river near Ming Manh's Tomb. He was there quickly if I finished early. Highly recommend.

Great value trip with smashing driver

Just spent a great afternoon with driver Long visiting the 3 tombs and pagoda, finishing off with a genteel dragon boat ride down the Perfume River. Long was a fabulous driver. Felt very comfortable in the vehicle. He provided lots of information about the tombs and pagoda so no need for a guide. Every success to the business and in particular Long. Thoroughly recommend this trip. Cam On!!
