What an incredible experience we had with Mr. Khanh as our tour guide.
We spent a few hours visiting the Marble Mountains but which were incredible to visit and included a local coffee stop. We were very informed and did not feel rushed. He also takes lots of pics for you along the way.
Mr Khanh shared his remarkable story during the Vietnam War. His deep knowledge of the region, including the historical division between North and South Vietnam, was truly enlightening.
This tour was in top 3 highlights of our 3 week Vietnam/Cambodia trip.
If you can book some time with Mr Khanh you won’t regret it.
Mate Hoi An Tours also assisted us with airport transfers etc. which all went smoothly.
