5.00The tunnels are extremely narrow and dark, so keep that in mind. I tried a short section and that was enough for me! Still, the overall site is very interesting and well organized. Beo was clear about what to expect and never pressured anyone to enter the tunnels. I appreciated that.
Good morning Vietnam
