Preparing for my first trip to Vietnam...

All in all a good guide, unfortunately it's not up-to-date anymore, and a lot of restaurants and hotels didn't exist anymore or had changed completley. Also you cannot rely on the information given in terms of transportation, which we had to learn the hard way.

It’s easy to find yourself overwhelmed as a big vacation nears closer and closer. Start preparing as early as possible. You’ll never go wrong picking up a travel guide and fortunately, this one has just about everything a travel guide should have. There’s a good amount of information and suggestions on places everyone must visit and places you may not have known to be worthwhile. It also works well if you need to narrow down activities if you’re strapped on time. I wish the guide had made room for more visuals. I don’t think I’d know what was being talked too well without some prior knowledge to said location. I’m excited for Vietnam, but not too thrilled for the 19 hour flight
