A insightful walking tour with Chiara

We had a really pleasant time on this free walking tour with Chiara. She speaks excellent Italian, which made the whole experience very easy and enjoyable to follow. Beyond just explaining the monuments we visited, she shared a lot about Vietnamese culture and history, which was exactly what I was most interested in learning about. Highly recommended if you want more than just a sightseeing walk, you actually come away understanding the place better.
