Our guide was Hoa and he did an awesome job. It was a long day but we saw so much and it was very informative. Highly recommend!
Dear Jody, Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re happy to hear that you loved this trip. Have a great time! Best regards, Yen Dang Stop and Go Team.
The tunnels are an interesting site giving testimony to the inventiveness and fighting spirit of the Vietnamese people. Most important, however, were the conversations with our driver, Sam, a sympathetic family father who willingly told us about his multigenerational family and daily life in Vietnam today. The horrible higway and the bridge were nothing special (the narratives horrible and interesting but the sites as such “poca cosa”). We just skipped the base. But the tunnels and Sam compensated big time.
The tour guide and driver were incredibly kind and informative. The old airbase and museum itself was real cool. Real cool
Would thoroughly recommend this tour had a wonderful time with Sam and Mai who provided me with a great customer experience they were both extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Vietnamese history and culture.
Dear John, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review. We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with our company, our driver, and our guide. Your kind words truly made our day. Best regards, Stop and Go Team.
Vinh Moc Tunnels were amazing and well worth the trip. Khe Sanh combat Base was disappointing due to the lack of up keep and while history was amazing not in my opinion worth the 1/2 day drive.
Great tour with a fantastic guide and driver. Lots of stories, lots of background to the various sites we visited. Highly recommended
We can recommend this very well organized tour without reservation. Our driver Tom drove very safely and reliably, despite heavy rain. Our tour guide Hay spoke very good English and was happy to share her knowledge of the region and the history of Vietnam. Tom and Hay are also very likeable. We had a very interesting and educational day! Thank you very much!!!
Our driver Sam was great, gave some insight to family Vietnamese life, made the driving lots of fun. Our DMZ guide Tam, enriched our tour with his own personal experiences during the Vietnam war as being been brought up in a village near the DMZ. Being at these historical sites you get a sense of the war from both sides. Great experience well worth the tour.
The tour guide was informative and knowledgable and gave us an insight to life under the communist regime before 1995 when the US embargo was lifted
This was a great tour! We came to vietnam with our friend who served at the Khe Sanh combat base, so we really appreciated the knowlegable and candid tour guide, Hoa. He had a clear understanding about what we were seeing that was original and what was representative. And he was excellent about making himself clear. We learned a lot we didnt know about the history of Vietnam. And Happi our driver was likewise friendly and gave us a great ride. Thanks!
