Fabulous family tour
With only two days in Ho Chi Minh we decided to book a whirlwind one day tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong in our own limo. What could have been cringy and touristy was a super informative, personal and fun tour for the whole family. Our guide Kevin was so informative and spoke directly to our kids so they were engaged and felt included. Despite some motion sickness by our youngest, Kevin was patient and friendly and such an expert. Highly recommend.
