Highly recommended! Be sure to participate and have an in-depth understanding of the achievements of the Vietnam War era. The tour guide is very emotional and the explanations are lifelike. You will shed tears and feel the miserable situation of the people during the Vietnam War era!

Nikko Hotel, a Japanese hotel, is located in District 1. I often use it, so I am very satisfied with the taste, variety of food, and hygiene. The kindness of the staff and the service were also impeccable and the best, as expected from a 5-star hotel restaurant. Crab and lobster dishes are served at the table in about ten minutes after ordering. Enjoy to your heart's content~~~

Our guide, Stephen, is very diligent and knowledgeable. He was quick to respond to questions and very patient with all of us. The tour is an eye opener and it has made me feel the richness of Vietnam's culture.

I used it for an absurd amount with a Klook coupon~ The car was clean and nice… … Except for taking off your shoes and getting in, it was totally good~ It’s more spacious and comfortable than a limousine~!! I highly recommend it. I like that they drop you off at VVN 👍🏻
