“We decided very short term for this tour. For a very fair price Huy offered us a private tour. The driver picked us up at the L7 Westlake Hotel with a spacious and clean Toyota SUV. Huy offered us to choose the pick-up time. We loved this flexibility. We met Huy in „his“ village and received many practical insights about the incense and the Vietnamese rise field hat. Huy‘s English is excellent. He also is able to communicate in French.”
