5.00A big thank you to Kai for his great performance throughout our tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong region. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. Also, a special thanks to our driver (I believe his name was Thong) for doing an excellent job and making sure we had a safe and comfortable ride.

5.00Our guide Bao was amazing! He is exceptionally knowledgeable and was great at explaining the historical context and cultural significance behind the sites we visited. His English was great and he made us all feel at home by affectionately referring to us as his tour “family” for the day. We would definitely recommend Bao as a guide!

5.00Long, but great day out. Around 12 hours. Our guide Minh was awesome. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Gives a taste of history and local culture.
Fake at best

4.00The tunnels were all fabricated recently, and not the real tunnels. One would expect during the war. Seemed more like a bad universal Studios experience than anything.
Excellent experience

5.00My family and I took a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. We chose the small group VIP option and I recommend it because it is more comfortable (massage in the chairs), it goes faster, you don't have to wait in lines, etc. Our trip wouldn't have been so wonderful without our guide Big Handsome David, who knew exactly what and how to make us feel good. He told us all the time about history, places, events and always with a smile on his face and good jokes. We thank Big David once again for everything and the agency that exceeded our expectations.
