Was a great experience. There was a small group of us. They organised transportation to and from the tunnels and we spent around an hour and a half to two hours there before leaving to go back to ho chi min. They also dropped us off at the museum on the way back which was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend!
Very interesting. Great guide.
Tin was an amazing tour guide and could answer all our questions, his perspective on the war was so interesting and he taught us a lot we didn’t know before, overall 10/10 experience would recommend

Excellent tour with great information from our guide. He gave us great history and perspective about the war against the USA. The tunnels were a real experience of how resilient and ingenious the people of Vietnam were during conflict against a far more powerful opponent. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.
