CuChi Tunnel Lee

Had a great experience on the Cu Chi Tunnels tour. Lee was an excellent guide — friendly, helpful, and explained the history and tunnels clearly throughout the journey. His explanations made the visit much more interesting and meaningful. Really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend Lee as a guide!
