Cool and awesome

The amazing tunnels and gun range were included in the tour as well, and it was such an incredible experience! Being able to shoot an AK-47 was definitely one of the coolest and most intense parts of the trip. Our tour guide, Jack, was excellent. He did a great job explaining the history of the Vietnam War and provided so much interesting and informative information throughout the entire tour. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Jack as a tour guide to anyone visiting Vietnam. I had an amazing experience and would absolutely come back again!

Michael the guide is good.

We will pick you up at the hotel in the morning. The bus is clean. Free service of one new bottle of water. There are toilet breaks at various points. Please make sure to count the people thoroughly during breaks or when moving; the risk of getting lost seems low. Lunch was also very luxurious and delicious. Of course, I was also very satisfied with the sightseeing. Thanks to the guide, Michael.

Michael gave the tour guide. He told me about the history of the Vietnam War and the background of life on the Mekong River in very easy-to-understand English. It was a very interesting tour! I think this tour is very cost-effective, including meals. I recommend it.
