Definitely a must do!

I would recommend this tour to everybody! It is extremely interesting and Bac, our tourguide did a really good job! He knows everything about the history and his English is impeccable! We had a small group and everything was organised very smoothly so that we didn’t have waiting times or unnecessary things on the itinerary. The atmosphere at the tunnels is very unique and you can get a glimpse how it just have felt during the war.
