Jacky Hieu was an amazing tour guide. He is very funny and accommodating. We had to catch a flight and I messaged him at midnight and responded right away. He made sure we did not miss our flight and also enjoyed the tour. He took us on a private tour and answered all our questions, very knowledgeable person. Thank you so much Jacky, we had a good time. I appreciate all the changes you made for us. God Bless
The experience was good and our guide Jacky was fantastic. It is only 4 stars because there is a lot of travelling involved, I think we were in our tour bus for about 5 hours
Communication from Viator and our guide was excellent throughout! The tour itself was very well managed from pick-up ti drop-off. Comfortable ride, good food, fun assortment of experiences. Our guide Long spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable and approachable.
We went to advertised sites except we didn't have time to see the pagoda. The guide was energetic and helpful.
This was a very nice day! Mr. Low was a great tour guide and very enthusiastic. I loved the boat ride on the coconut island. The lunch was excellent.
Everything went perfectly. Tri our guide made this day special for us. He was a great and experienced guide. Many thanks to our driver too.
Coy, the tour leader was exceptional. Really on it and very knowledgeable and helpful. Tour was a great day out away from the city and we saw and learnt a lot about this area. Highly recommended.
This tour is OUTSTANDING. We saw so many interesting things and learned so much. In addition to the sights the lunch was delicious. You MUST ask for Huong (Linda) as a guide. She is top notch and a credit to her company.
Excellent tour. Great hotel pick up and communication. Every segment of the tour was very interesting. Must include on any visit
The tour was everything that was mentioned in the brochure so totally satisfied. Mr Le looked after us and my older big sister very well. He was very attentive and gave us the time to explore without rushing too much. It was a big day and we had great experience.
Thanks for your great feedback. Wishing you good health and looking forward to welcoming you back to Vietnam soon!
