What people are saying about South Central Coast

very good tour, well organized, timely pickup, guide willing to give info, fair price and time allocated to the sites during the day , great lunch and some of the iconic places to visit in Vietnam. The French village is absolutely unexpected, like a Dysney fun park right on top of the hill! Astonishingly built, like being in an European city located in Vietnam. Overall really worth of booking. The comment below does not pertain to the tour itself: Vietnam is really a very nice, safe and effortable destination, with pleanty of things I've been absolutly happy with (from the North to the South); the people just need to be more aware and conscious of plastic usage, reducing it and keeping beaches and some places more cleaned.

The tour was good, only part I didn't like was when they take you to the stone store, they push you hard to buy something. Lunch was great, delicious vegetarian option and the tour guide was fantastic, Michael was so friendly and with good energies.

A very fun tour You get to prepare , cook and eat the amazing food And the basket boat ride is amazing , better than I expected Transfer from local market to amazing cooking restaurant and back to your hotel They cater for vegetarian as well
