5.00We had an amazing time on our tour! Our tour guide Loan, and driver picked us up right at our Airbnb, stopped so we could grab a quick breakfast, and brought us to the first stop at the Cu Chi Tunnels. They were a must see as we got to go in the tunnels, try tapioca, and see Vietnam War tactics. Next we drove to a Buddhist temple and saw monkeys while Loan explained more about the culture. We had an amazing lunch with our guide and drive and got to ask questions, learn about the food, and because it was a private tour it was much more personal. We finished the day at the Black Virgin Mountains, riding the cable car to the top. It was amazing to see the new structures so high up, learn about the world-wide Buddhism beliefs, and see the amazing views. Loan was an amazing tour guide, so personable, knowledgable, and easy to spend the whole day with. I would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you Loan!

5.00We had such a great tour. It was a long dat, around 12 hours, but so worth it. My group of five, including my nearly 81 year old mother, all really enjoyed this trip. The bus was comfortable, and our guide, Aurora was more than fantastic. She was ver knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. The driver also did a great job of keeping us safe. The lunch we had was some of the best food we’ve had since being in Vietnam. All of the stops were extensive interesting to visit. Could not recommend this tour more highly.
Excellent experience

5.00This tour was fun. Cao Dai is a must day trip. Cong, our tour guide, was great. Cu Chi Tunnels were a little claustrophobic but that’s to be expected.
