Great experience. Our tour guide Tommy and our driver did a great job. There was just the right amount of information and talk. No one was put under any pressure to go into the tunnels. Everyone in outlr group had a good time.
Totally worth it. Very inexpensive for a cool experience. Our guide tommy spoke great English and was full of knowledge. They even gave us ice cold water and cold towelettes. I definitely recommend this tour. My girlfriend loved every moment, going underneath and getting to experience how war was, was an incredible and inspiring experience! We loved the jokes that tommy gave us, we love the energy of our group thanks to our amazing guides! Can’t wait to come back and do it again!!
Our tour guide, Tuan, is a war veteran and had a lot of stories to share, made the tour very insightful. The transport is cold and comfortable. Make sure you wear something you’re willing to get dirty as you will be going in and out of tight clay tunnels.
Incredible experience and not to be missed; big david is truly a unique and special guide
Good tour, not too short, we were not stressed, Tommy spoke good English Break on the way there and back at a shop or restaurant (the food was not very good), but you were not pressured to buy anything.
Guide Mr Tuan was amazing and his backstory working in thr SVA was authentic and really brought this tour fo life.
Good tour to get to know the reality of one of the areas most affected by the Vietnam War. Impressive. Very good guide Alex, fun and knowledgeable.
I would recommend this tour to everybody! It is extremely interesting and Bac, our tourguide did a really good job! He knows everything about the history and his English is impeccable! We had a small group and everything was organised very smoothly so that we didn’t have waiting times or unnecessary things on the itinerary. The atmosphere at the tunnels is very unique and you can get a glimpse how it just have felt during the war.
Had an amazing time , so insightful and interesting ! Big thanks to Nick for being such an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide, he really made the experience. The smaller group size definitely contributed to the experience as well. Would reccomend !
Incredibly interesting day with Tuan who was an amazing guide!
