5.00Enjoyed the scenic boat trip to the site. Moon was a great host, so informative in a very respectful way. We beat the crowds by fast travel on boat, much better than bus trip (have done that previously). Important to learn about Vietnam War history and impact it had on peoples lives. Very nice lunch and relaxing boat ride home. Highly recommend this trip, and definitely go by boat 👌

5.00Awesome tour! The speed boat made what would have otherwise been a boring road trip interesting. Our guide Khr was extremely knowledgeable of the war and life in the tunnels. It was a small group of 9 people and the speed boat was in great condition and provided life vests for everyone. DC Saigon Tours made booking and communication extremely easy.
Excellent tour
