“This was a very good investment of time and money to learn more about the early history of Vietnam and the people who built these temples. Our guide was fun and engaging and very well informed about the sites. Our driver did a great job of getting us all where we needed to go quickly and safely. My Son was incredibly interesting - temples had many similarities to those in Cambodia. Sad to know most of the temples were lost to air bombings. We were able to catch the dance and music show as well, showing some of the Champa culture. All in all a very good experience I recommend…”
