WOW! Salt Coffee is really delicious. And at the cafe, there is a service to sell bottled salted coffee to take home, which is really great. We already love this salted coffee. But drinking it at the cafe makes us feel more interesting. Every destination on this day was wonderful, making us feel it was a truly relaxing day.

This trip is recommended, this is not only a sightseeing trip but also an entertainment trip. We had a great time with Ms.Lyly, she was fun and full of knowledge about Vietnamese history, she was also able to explain to me about the interesting Salt Coffee. The sunset is very beautiful, Lyly can also take beautiful photos. The value for our trip was high. Everything is perfect.

Interesting combination trip. The sunset on the Perfume River is very beautiful. We had a sightseeing session after visiting Thien Mu Pagoda, the photos we took were very valuable. I tried hot tofu right at the boat dock of Thien Mu Pagoda. The Salt Coffee is worth drinking, the cafe has a beautiful space and Ms.Thanh explained to us about the Salt Coffee.
