    Vibrant Atmosphere and Culinary Exploration at Mango

    I thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality, atmosphere, and positive energy at Mango. The market visit was fantastic, providing exposure to diverse cuisines and even introducing us to Vietnamese egg coffee, which was a delightful addition. However, it's worth noting that the wine tasting advertised was not provided during our experience.

    Convenient Exploration with Room for Improvement

    A good compromise for evaluating neighborhoods, distances, and must-see sites; very convenient to be transported from one point to another given the complexity of traffic in Hanoi! Friendly guide; could delve deeper into commentary on visited places, a bit rushed towards the late afternoon.

    Room for Improvement in the tour

    We covered a lot of ground during the tour, but felt that the time allocated at some stops was excessive while at others, like the museum, it felt a bit rushed. The guide's English was occasionally unclear, which made it challenging to follow along at times. Despite these minor drawbacks, the lunch provided was excellent. Overall, it was a fulfilling experience worth recommending.
