Linh a été très dynamique dans sa présentation de la cité. Il posait des questions quiz et il a su garder l’attention de nos deux adolescentes (13 et 15 ans). De plus, il a été flexible afin de répondre à nos besoins particuliers. Vivez l’expérience avec Linh.

Che dire Thanh è stata una guida meravigliosa! Divertente, arguta e ci ha coinvolto sin dall’inizio. Sono state due ore bellissime e interessanti. Oltre a questo, ho apprezzato che non ha cercato di portarci in posti dove dovessimo comprare, ma ci ha lasciato solo dei suggerimenti finali. In una città dove ti fermano sempre per comprare tour, dove altre guide organizzano tutto per farti spendere nei posti dove vogliono loro, lei è stata discreta
