Picking up at the hotel worked without any problems. We were only a small group of five people, which made the whole thing very pleasant. Furthermore, we had a great guide (Yen), who knew his way around and was able to answer all sorts of questions (also about the country and its people). He was also considerate if you wanted to stay somewhere two minutes longer. In addition, we also had the best driver in Vietnam, anyone who has had experience there knows that it can also be very difficult. The tour went absolutely according to plan, exhausting but very interesting. Absolutely to recommend.

Really enjoyable day. Guide knowledgable about history of Vietnam and was funny & attentive to the group’s needs. Enjoyed seeing the cu chi tunnels with the guide demoing some of the traps. Also the Mekong delta had a range of activities eg biking round the island, trying coconut candy & fruits and boat trips. Would definitely recommend!

The tour was very interesting, especially the explanation of life in the tunnels. The guide was very nice and spoke very good English.

A very interesting and a enjoyable tour with a very informative and lively English speaking Guide.

This is tour was amazing. My friends and I had a great time. We really enjoyed the CuChi Tunnels!
