Kit’s the best tour guide

Great experience & our tour guide made it so much better. Good English, good explanations, and a truly unique experience - found out my new favorite candy is coconut candy! Left around 8 and ended our tour with the sunset on the water. Also learned so much more about the Vietnam war & the cultural differences among hcmc and Mekong
