I had a wonderful experience with the historical walking tour in Old Quarter. My tourguide was friendly, I learned more alot about Vietnamese cultures. Also the hand-on egg coffee making was excellent. I got chance to make my own coffee and tried coffee specialty!!!

Excellent tour when I came to Vietnam. The coffee making class is also interesting with the history of coffee culture in Vietnam. Highly recommend for culture vultures like me 🥰.
