Fun, interesting time!

Spring was lots of fun, she was so helpful explaining everything. We enjoyed our walk around all the local back alleys meeting locals along the way. The food was so varied and interesting. My husband enjoyed the stuffed snails but the highlight for me was the avocado ice cream. I would highly recommend Spring.

Ho Chi Minh with a twist

Thien was interesting, fun and intellectual. I found her to be great with conversation and her passion for her country and culture was the highlight of the tour. Definitely recommend
