Thanks for showing us around

Fabulous private tour with lunch

Published on Mar, 2024

Arrived in HNC night before and decided to take this full day tour. Our guide Vy was lovely. She was informative and very friendly. She even took superb photos. We covered most of the tourist attractions in the full day. She also took us for lunch which was part of the package. As we did a private tour we didnt feel rushed at all. I would highly reccomend this paticular tour

Great tour
