We were picked up promptly at the ship and drove the approx 2 hour drive into the city. Our guide “John” had excellent very easy to understand English and he talked and shared very valuable info most of the drive. We went first thing for an amazing Vietnamese coffee on the rooftop of the Rex Hotel! He called ahead so it was waiting for us! We Then went for a “cyclo” or tri-shaw ride which was scary but fun as your driver pedals and maneuvers the busy streets side by side with scooters, bikes, cars and trucks! John was such an excellent guide - I would rate him an A +++! We saw some temples and a war museum that was very propagandized but we could shorten our stay there! Lunch at Pho 2000 and it had such large pieces of meat- it was delicious!! Wonderful, wonderful tour for a great price!! Hope to see you again someday!!
