Amazing private tour to Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta
We had a one day private tour to Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta. Our tour guide Lee was knowledgeable and shared about Vietnam war history, answering many of our questions. Appreciate that the tour supports local businesses. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend the private tour for families experiencing Vietnam for the first time.

A perfect experience around Saigon
Thank you very much for the great tour. It was an unforgettable, exciting and informative experience for us to have done the tour with our tour guide Lee.
We particularly liked the timing and the many stops away from the tourist crowds. Our little daughter (4years old) enjoyed also the tour. We can recommend the tour to anyone who wants to experience a special day with many highlights in the countryside around Saigon!

Unforgettable day complete to our wishes with Lee!
Great private tour done with Lee and driver who took us safely everywhere. In the morning we went to the tunnels. In the car Lee told us all about the war history, not only from the books but also from his father. We arrived before the big crowds and the visit was very impressive. The second part of the day was slightly modified at our request; for example a Vietnamese and Buddhist temple (where monks also live) were added and horse and cart ride changed to tuk tuk. We skipped the honey where many tours stop. Lee had arranged a private boat that took us in the Mekong to several stops. All in all had a really great day. A private tour may be a bit more expensive but we really liked it. We booked Lee through tours with locals.

A must if you are visiting Vietnam
A great day out. Penny was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about the tunnels and the history of the Vietnamese war. We learnt so much from her. It is a long day so be prepared for that. We also want to say how great the driver was.

A great 5* day
Penny is an absolutely fantastic tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and completely made the trip for us. Her English is exceptional. Apart from seeing the the Cu Chi Tunnels, which was quite an eye opening experience, we had a lovely trip along the Mekong Delta, stopping for lunch and going to a couple of small islands which was really interesting. All in all a great day.
