Review for: English Guide

I enjoyed my tour very much! Mr Charlie DDA was very helpful, exclaimed and answered all my questions. I learned alot about the culture, traditions, and areas. He was very funny and helped taking my pictures. He was an amazing guide and would definitely go on another tour with him. Highly highly recommend! He's simply the BEST!!! On the other hand, I didn't like that the tour agent had canceled my original reservation due to not having enough people join and when I reserved for this one the price had increased by $20. Also the agent had not messaged me the day before to confirm, until I messaged and my confirmation text came in at almost 1 am.
