Leo is a very friendly guide he helped us and explained all the tour. He also has this fun personality making jokes to break the ice. Overall you will have a good experience with him.
If you're visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels, do yourself a favor and book with Leo Pham. We were nervous about the narrow spaces, but he put us completely at ease—explaining the history with such vivid detail that we could almost hear the footsteps of the past. He didn't just point things out; he told us stories about how the tunnels were used, showed us hidden trapdoors we would've walked right past, and even took the time to demonstrate how the Viet Cong lived and survived down there. What made him stand out? His warmth and humor. He kept the group laughing between the heavier historical moments, checked on everyone constantly (especially those feeling claustrophobic), and answered every single question with a smile. He never rushed us, even when other groups zoomed past. If you want more than a rushed photo-op—if you want to truly understand Cu Chi—he's your guide. Absolutely unforgettable.Leo was incredibly knowledgeable—he showed us things we'd never have noticed on our own—but his kindness and sense of humor made the whole day a joy. He made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, even in the tightest spots. Can't recommend him enough. Book him if you can!"
