Fantastic

Fantastic experience where you can really feel what it is/was like in the tunnels. To really top it off, shoot with the AK47

Excellent tour of the Cu Chi tunnels

Our tour guide, Stark was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and spoke excellent English, making the history of the Vietnam War and the Cu Chi Tunnels easy to understand and incredibly interesting. He struck the perfect balance between sharing historical facts and adding personal stories and humour, which kept everyone in our family—including our children—engaged throughout the tour.
