Vietnam war private tour

Hung is an excellent and very lively guide. He is full of energy and speaks about his country’s past and present with a lot of passion and knowledge. He answered all of our questions with a smile. It was a pleasure having Hung as our tour guide and we learned so much today. Not only from the Vietnam war but also from Vietnam as a country today. I am very thankful for the lovely morning we have spend despite seeing the atrocities of the war. The tour itself is for sure worth it.

An incredible experience. You learn a lot and you immerse yourself fully in what the war was like. Stark is a fantastic guide, if you can, do it with him.
