Informative and well-paced Cu Chi Tunnel tour

I took this tour with my family, including 2 kids. Our tour guide, Ethan, was great and explained the history of the tunnel and the Vietnam War well. Communication both before and during the tour was smooth, and Ethan also used visuals during the van ride there to give even more context on Vietnamese history and how things have evolved over the years.
