Very interesting and complete tours of the tunnels and Cao Daï temple thanks to Kenny our friendly guide and tasty lunch in a pleasant setting
Nice car with AC but rushed tours and definitely does not worth 230 dollars for 2 persons. The guide was polite and friendly but the information provided was sparse and not very documented.
