Excellent tour, really informative. Guide was excellent, told us lots of information about Vietnam and the war. Everything worked perfectly from pick up at our hotel to drop off. Communication was was clear.
Tommy is a very knowledgeable, funny, and patient guide. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Highly recommend this tour!
We had a great am tour with Tuan - a war veteran. He gave us a great education about what happened during the Vietnam war, between the North & the South & what other countries were involved. Food was really good where we stopped for lunch, we would highly recommend the tour.
Really insightful half day trip. Specifically, Bac was an incredible guide. He gave loads of useful information to put the whole tour into context historically and in the moment as you went around. Would really recommend this trip, especially if you can have Bac as your guide.
Office staff member at joining point was extremely rude and unhelpful- joining instructions weren’t clear and the staff member was particularly rude
Dear valued guest! We sincerely apologize for the rude and unhelpful service you experienced at our office. We’re sorry the joining instructions were not clear, and we will address this feedback with our staff to ensure better service for our customers. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Warm regards!
Chloe Tran was a phenomenal guide. She is like a walking encyclopedia, sharing knowledge and really prioritizing the gravity of Cu Chi tunnel experience. She imprinted on my friend and I an impassioned historically informed assessment on the heroism and tenacity of the revolutionaries who survived in these tunnels during the American war in Vietnam. Not only was she patient, attentive, and engaging; she also was willing to entertain my questions about the National Liberation Front and provide us with further original documents for understanding the war. I can't myself bringing anyone else on a tour to Cu Chi unless she's leading it. I particularly liked the time set aside to test-fire an AK-47.
We went with our guide Viet who did a great job of explaining all about the history of this area. Very enjoyable!
We absolutely loved our tour. Jack was friendly, insightful, and knowledgeable. The tunnels were incredibly interesting, and the restaurant they took us to at the end of the tour was delicious. Would 100% recommend!
We did the Small group AM tour. Tuan was amazing! He is a veteran of the war and was so interesting to listen to. He gave us all the knowledge we needed and we got to visit all the tunnels. Would definitely recommend!
Had an incredible experience on this tour. Tuan was an amazing tour guide who was very knowledgeable and helped us learn so much about the tunnels. Would definitely recommend
