5.00Super interesting day, the Cu Chi tunnels were fascinating to see and it was a lot of fun going in and out of the different stretches (although of course not good for anybody who struggles with mobility, breathing, claustrophobia etc). Our guide Lucky was such good fun, making sure we understood the key parts of the history and context to the war, treating the topics with appropriate care but also making it fun throughout the day. The lunch stop was also delicious and very reasonably priced
Great!

You can tell he’s incredibly knowledgeable, but what really stood out was how he brought the history to life with enthusiasm and great storytelling. We learned so much and had an amazing time exploring.
