Thank you for great experience with great tour guide who has excellent communication and knowledge of the history. We had a great time.
The guíde Janes Bond made the difference. Great mood, great at dealing with an unexpected situation, great and qualified conversations and finally great recommendations to eat out. Cam on!
The tour is awesome! I truly appreciated how the Vietnamese survived during war!!! A big applause to the Vietnamese government!!
We had a great experience, Thang was our guide he knows a lot about Vietnam history including cuchi tunnels, its energetic to hear the story from someone who is proud of his country!
It's a very interesting ride, knowing a small part of the Vietnam War. Our guide Thang was always attentive, friendly and answered all our doubts. When visiting Vietnam you have to do this tour and enter the tunnels!!
The guide was very knowledgeable and energetic and we both had an incredible time. Bus ride was smooth. Would definitely recommend!
Thanh is very knowledgeable and a lovely tour guide. 100% recommend to take the day tour and follow him and the other guides in the tunnels
Amazing informative tour, a very special thanks to our tour guide I think his name was Khang. He’s very knowledgeable and answered all our questions with unbiased professionalism.
I had a great experience. Minh was very friendly and knowledgeable. He’s a great guide. The experience itself is amazing. Leave some room in your budget for the range. It’s a fun experience but a little pricey. That’s separate from the tour so not an issue if you don’t want to do it. It’s very eye opening. I definitely recommend
Great adventure to see tunnels and to be able to go inside one of them. Minh is a great guy knowing the history and culture of a country. Great atomosphere, really good driver
