WAR TOUR to MY LAI MASSACRE & KY ANH TUNNELS & GOLDEN PAGODA

This was one of the most profound tours I've ever been on. Vincent is so passionate, enthusiastic and provides a wealth of knowledge about the sites we visited. His research in these subjects goes so deep. I really loved the pit stop at Chu Lai airbase. My father was in the US army during the war here and was stationed there and Vincent really respected my energy to sort of remain a few moments longer to have a personal moment. Each stop on this tour held deep meaning to this country and you could feel that coming through Vincent. I could not recommend this tour enough for anyone wanting to explore the countryside while simultaneously being presented with an incomparable and essential account of Vietnamese history. Logistics: The ride was very comfortable and the group was only 7. Plenty of restroom breaks. Vincent was constantly checking on us and provided a cooler of ice cold bottled water. Lunch was delicious and refreshing! 10/10 Necessary: BRING A HAT, wear shorts, water, power bank, electrolytes, sunscreen, and an open and curious mind. This was worth every cent. I would do it again in heartbeat if I come back. Thank you so much Vincent! Everything else I do for the rest of my trip will have to raise the bar to the standards you've set for this tour.

My 12 year old daughter and I went on this tour so that she can learn some history of the terrible massacre that American soldiers caused. Vincent our guide was incredible with his knowledge and it was good that we were only a small group of 7 people. Watching the documentary about the massacre and seeing things that have been left from the past was truly touching and heartbreaking. What was also interesting to visit were the Vietcong tunnels at Ky Anh where we also met a nice old men who is a former Vietcong Veteran and who also build the tunnels. It was fascinating to hear to his secret stories as well. This tour is a must see so people can understand how terrible everything has been . Out of respect I didn’t take any photo inside the museum besides the memory wall with all the names that have lost their life on that day.

What a very interesting tour. I learnt so much from our tour guide who was very knowledgeable. Also got to meet a 70yr old who was Vietcong, he was just such a happy man.

Our family of four (mum travelling with three teenagers) had an incredible Vietnam War tour with Highland, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Meeting a Viet Cong war veteran and exploring the secret Viet Cong tunnels brought the history of Vietnam to life in a way that no book or documentary ever could. Throughout the day we drove through beautiful Vietnamese villages while learning about the country’s fascinating and complex history. The tour was packed with interesting historical facts, but it never felt boring because there were so many different stops and experiences along the way that kept all three of my teenagers engaged from start to finish. It is a long day, so be prepared for that, but we travelled in a spacious, air-conditioned van with bottled water provided throughout, making the journey very comfortable. Our guide, Cham, was incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable, and it was obvious how passionate he is about sharing Vietnam’s history with visitors. His enthusiasm and storytelling made the entire experience even more memorable. If you’re looking for a tour that combines authentic local experiences, powerful history, and excellent guiding, I highly recommend this tour with Highland.

Vincent was great, very informative and answered all my questions

The day started with a very punctual pickup in a comfortable vehicle just the right size for our group. Each stop of the tour was very well curated, timed and explained. Our guide was very knowledgeable and found many secret spots which would have taken enormous amounts of research to find. He was able to answer all of our questions and more. The addition of an extra guide with first-hand knowledge (though I don't want to spoil the surprise!) was the icing on the cake towards the end of our day. The food stop was authentic Vietnamese and was superb. I would highly recommend this fantastic experience as wonderful value for money.

Our guide was excellent, very accommodating and knowledgeable. I fully recommend this tour 👌🏻

Incredible tour from an independent owner operator who really went the extra mile to ensure all questions were answered and our every need attended to. Comfortable car, nice lunch and lots of cold water as needed on a very hot day. The tour itself was a highlight of our Vietnam trip. The Golden Pagoda was an unexpected treasure. So much history packed into one day. Much emotion and incredibly sad to see the massacre site. The tunnels especially and getting to meet a veteran who actually built them to be toured around was particularly special. 5 stars plus. Thanks so much.

Vinh (Ken) provided us a wonderful tour. We had excellent conversations of the American War. The My Lai stop on the tour was sobering. Meeting a local man who resisted the American military was important to me as a History teacher. The golden pagoda and statue are stunningly large/tall.

What an amazing eye opening experience. Many sad teary moments at the massacre fields. Authentic and raw look into the vietnam war history. A authentic Vietnamese lunch, a visit to the beautiful Golden Pagoda and Lady Buddha. Just an amazing day. Very knowledgable guide and safe driver. Would recommend to anyone.
