The weather was very foggy, which isn't controllable by the travel agency. Yet, the experience was still very enjoyable because of the guide's efficiency, humour, dedication and good energy. Great buffet, beautiful place. Many activities available and food to try. No regrets!

There was a very kind and humorous teacher who helped me do each one well. The five coffees were so delicious. I was so happy and happy to have the coffee making class. It was also a time to learn about the history of coffee.

We booked the tour at the end of December. The pick-up from the hotel worked perfectly and the trip to My Son Temple was also good. During the trip, the guide tells you various historical backgrounds about the temple. Unfortunately, our guide didn't speak English very well and you had to concentrate extremely hard to understand anything. The tour itself was very well organized despite the bad weather and is definitely worth it. On the way back to the boat, the driver got a little lost, which wasn't great. Overall, the trip was more than successful and we would book it again.

Nice experience to ride a boat and light the lantern at the Hoai River in Hoi An. There a really a lot of people during the weekend and this Klook booking saved our time without keeping a long line for walk in clients.

The travel agency will contact the driver’s license plate number the day before. We also arrived on time for pick up and drop off on the same day. Rafting in Coconut Grove Village was also as fun as expected, and the ancient town of Hoi An is even more beautiful under the lights at night.
