We made a reservation at midnight on the same day, and received a WhatsApp contact immediately to confirm the arrangement. The carriage was neat and clean, the driver was polite, and there were discounts for using UnionPay cards. Highly recommended!

It's very close to the Royal Palace. There are many wonderful works of art. It's not crowded, so you can take your time to look around. Be sure to also visit the Hàm Nghi facility next door. You can see the paintings and history of the last Nguyen Dynasty king in Algeria.

The guide explained a lot to me in English, even though I was the only foreign customer. Thank you very much. It was a wonderful cruise, with a special afternoon tea in an air-conditioned room. The scenery was also amazing. I was even able to see the rainbow for a long time.

After the Klook QR voucher, you will receive an official voucher for admission by email, so be sure to check it. You cannot enter unless you present it. The email will be sent a while after booking. Once inside, it's so spacious that it might be a good idea to rent a bicycle. It's a great place.
