I really appreciated how well-paced this tour was. It never felt rushed, and each location was totally different but flowed naturally. Hannah is a thoughtful guide with a kind presence and great historical context.
The flower village was picturesque and smelled incredible. Xeo Quyt was a real adventure — I didn’t expect to enjoy the sampan ride so much. It felt like being in a hidden jungle, with fascinating stories from the war.
We ended with a quiet walk around the Huynh Thuy Le house, learning about the real story behind “The Lover.” Such an emotional and culturally rich way to close the day.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this tour, but I’m so glad I booked it. Chris made everything easy and enjoyable. He’s a natural storyteller.
The flower village was pure eye candy — rows of marigolds, orchids, and roses stretching into the distance. We even chatted briefly with local growers who were so kind and curious.
At Xeo Quyt, the peaceful sampan ride through the forest was something I’ll remember for a long time. It’s not touristy — it feels untouched. The house of Huynh Thuy Le wrapped up the day with a poetic touch. Lovely from start to end.
