5.00Our tour guy Viet was great and gave alot of interesting information and kept everything lively and funny. The van had great seats so you didnt mind much that it takes more then 1h to get to each location. For the tunnels you get alot of information and can try and taste part of how it was back several decades ago. One negative for me was the shooting range option I understand why its done the way it is (safety and fast throughput of people) but for someone with firearms experience it was a bit of a letdown that all guns (from pistol, carbine, rifle to m60 last one makes sense of course) were bolted on a mount so you mostly just had to pull the trigger. Mekon delta was also interesting and you got a nice view of certain industries and life at the river. You make several stops at local places where you can try their products for free from honey tea to different sweets. Of course they then also offer that you can buy what they make but the price for the offerings and that you can try for free and dont get forced into buying makes it a nice experience. So overal the whole tour is worth the money and a good day trip for the first few days in the city. If the weather plays along of course.
