She's very kind and willing to asssit in every inquiries during the tour. On the other hand, Noah, our Tour Guide Operator took care of us from the start until the end of our tour.

Khao was a very knowledgeable tour guide. The entire tour was right on time and got us back to HCMC before 2
SST made our half-day Cu Chi Tunnels tour effortless. Booking last minute was a breeze thanks to their responsive team, and the execution was spot on—early driver, great ride, and an outstanding guide. Noah was deeply knowledgeable, giving us incredible context on Vietnam’s history while keeping our son entertained (and taking him through the tunnels for extra laps!). 10/10 recommendation for SST and Noah.

It’s the best tour I’ve signed up for. It’s the half day trip. You need to prepare extra money VND 450000 if you want to go on cable car up to the peak of Ba Na Hill. It worths it. The tour helps me understand more about Vietnamese War and their culture, especially after the my own tour in War Remnants Museum. Highly recommend Harry as tour guide. He really did a good job to make things simple to understand. #ELBIEEOPEATOR
