It was a great tour, and the guide Arron explained it patiently, taking care of everyone's feelings and making the tour very enjoyable. It is highly recommended that you experience first hand the hardship and tenacity of the Vietnamese people in their struggle against the invaders by entering the tunnels of Ko Chi.
