VIP tour with Captian Tuan
Tuan is very informative and clear in his explanation. We appreciate that he shared his experience with passion. He shared more than textbook information which is rare.

Cu Chi in a day
Our guide, Mr Nelson Vàng, kept our small group of 8 on schedule, and provided us with a wealth of information. The comfortable van and experienced driver made the excursion very worthwhile. However, the lunch included in the ticket price was mediocre. If given the option, I’d suggest ordering pho off the à la carte menu at the restaurant, as some of the other guests in our group did.

Nelson is the man!
I had a great solo trip. Nelson was a great guide that did an excellent job keeping the group together and was very friendly. I’d recommend it to anyone.
