Fantastic Tour

Had a fantastic tour with Long on March 30th. He was so knowledgeable and provided us with so much information! One of our family members doesn't love sweet coffees, so he was fantastic and requested that they be less sweet, which was greatly appreciated! Thank you for an amazing time!

Exclusive Experience about Vietnamese Coffee

Our guide April is an awesome and thoughtful tour guide. Once she heard we’ve try Bun Cha yesterday. She suddenly rearranged the restaurant for us. The coffee we tried during the tour is amazing and also the local story. It’s been a wonderful experience to have this trip and April as our tour guide!
