5.00Very professional company and certainly the best tour we've done whilst in Vietnam. Our guide the one and only Mr Chí was one hell of a character and made our tour more than fun. Not only was he informative about the tunnels and the war but made us all crease on stories about his family and pepper pig. The speedboat trip was great fun getting there and back. Lunch on the return journey was also delicious. I can't recommend this tour enough. The guides even found me a charger cable for my watch.

5.00This is the only way to do it. Fantastic tour from start to finish. Private taxi to city . Met up with the legend that is Mr Chi.. Speedboat ride up the Saigon river. Local fruit on board. Interesting guide round the tunnels from Mr Chi who provided the superb commentary and entertainment throughout the day. Stopped for a lovely local meal on way back in beautiful location. Totally recommend the tour and the irrepressible Nr Chi was so knowledgeable and humorous at the same time.
Well Done
