our guide Elena really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and honestly better than the tour we did in Crete last year.

our guide Zara couldnt do enough for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... Over easter break so it wasnt too busy. Spot on for a couples day out, and 6 stops in about 3 hours, and perfect for first-timers, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.

our guide Marco had so many stories and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and blew our Hanoi one out of the water.
