He kept us entertained and we learned so much about the history of Hanoi through his hilarious pop culture references. Literally had another tour guide after this trip and I said “I miss Sunny!””

She clearly knew a lot about the culture, species and traditions. She answered all the questions asked and shared interesting facts about the ecosystem in the caves. She briefed the group at all times what's in the itinerary and kept us posted about timings etc. Lunch was also amazing! Highly recommend this tour if you're interested in the culture and aren't afraid of the dark (haha!). The cave/cenote was absolutely beautiful but the snorkeling…”

However, they did refund accordingly and made contact some days ago, so I would not consider this a problem, because we could grab individual tickets for the salt mine on another day. The bus and tour guides were really good and very respectful, wich is of utmost importance in a place like Auschwitz.”
