“The city is beautiful, the tour was short , lunch that was included in the tour was very non impressive, no real taste of delicious Vietnamese food. Cycling was nice but somehow the tour guide should have explained about the places we were passing, maybe invest in the microphone. So we felt that this tour wasn’t as good as in other’s cities we visited.”
