Amazing experience

Thach Max was a great tour guide, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject matter. Always smiling and energetic. He takes a great photo too! I fully recommend his tour. The lunch we had was really enjoyable too, very high quality for the price. The van was a little uncomfortable I should have gone for the 9 seater in hindsight.

Well worth it 5 stars

Great day very informative and how these guys managed in these tunnels was unbelievable. Fantastic Max the tour guide was so educational on the Vietnam war and Vietnam in general well worth the money apart from the shooting you can do at the tunnels cost as much for ten bullets than the whole tour but it’s up to you 👍

History packed day

An excellent tour with a fabulous guide Max. We heard and learned so much about the tunnels and the history of this country. The trip to the Mekong deltas was a contrast to the tunnels & again enjoyable. Its a long day with 2 hrs travel between locations but well worth it. Thank you Max for a great day and sharing your knowledge.
