Ryan, Minh and Kelvin were excellent hosts. They made us feel safe and welcome. Their English were very good. Ryan made me overcome my fear of riding a motor bike. They are very knowledgeable about their history and patient answering our questions. They brought us to famous eating places for what Vietnam is famous for. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Ryan and Kelvin, good luck on your studies.We will both recommend you highly to our friends.
