Afternoon Adventure - Absolutely wonderful afternoon with my driver Ly. Included a bonus stop to overlook the mountains and river near Ming Manh's Tomb. He was there quickly if I finished early. Highly recommend.

Great value trip with smashing driver - Just spent a great afternoon with driver Long visiting the 3 tombs and pagoda, finishing off with a genteel dragon boat ride down the Perfume River.
Long was a fabulous driver. Felt very comfortable in the vehicle. He provided lots of information about the tombs and pagoda so no need for a guide.
Every success to the business and in particular Long.
Thoroughly recommend this trip. Cam On!!
