our guide Lucia sorted everything for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and blew our Hanoi one out of the water.

our guide Sofia sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and 6 stops in about 3 hours.
