A fascinating historical lesson. - Our tour guide, Peter, had so much knowledge of the history of Vietnam through the French Indochina War and the Vietnam-American War. All of the attractions we visited, pieced together to make a fascinating historical jigsaw puzzle. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks for a great day, Peter.
