Fantastic 5.0

It was a fun and cost-effective cave exploration trip. The pickup was on time, and especially the cost on Klook was cheaper than the local tour cost. I thought I should use Klook for tours in the future.

That was a great experience. 1. company contacted me in WhatsApp in advance days before the tour. 2. Tour guide called me personally to inform me about exact time of pickup. 3. Tour guide went into the lobby personally to pick us up, so i didn't have to look for right vehicle and couldn'tbe confused. 4. Tour guide has great English. 5. Tour guide made great literally third part from the whole experience. Very informative, nit to much talking, not boring, great guest connection. 5. The caves itself is unbelievable great! 10000 times recommend!!! I don't think any caves would surprise me after what I have seen today. Dark cave is great muddy experience too. Didn't expect that fun! some NOTES: 1. u need to have bikini or sweater. 2. part of the Dark cave experience is zip-line: not allowed for weight under 40kg and over 90kg. 3. Dark cave is pretty dark (obviously) and would not recommend for claustrophobic. 4. Dark cave experience is going through water and bit coldish than the sea

Our guide was hoang pham who was just amazing. His knowledge about history of vietnam was truly amazing. It was truly an adventure to remember for our vietnam diaries. We truly recommend klook for this activity. The only problem was the adventure theme park there was nothing functioning for us to do it.

Good tour to see some highlights of Hue. Toddler and Baby friendly!. Vi, our tour guide did a very good job in explaining the history behind each site we visited, and loved her little jokes she would share here and there, despite the guests being a little..flat in excitement you could say. Hue is definitely a beautiful city.
