Good

We had a very nice day learning about the history of the Vietnam war and the Cu Chi tunnels. At the Mekong Delta we did some side activities such as tasting coconut candy, observing crocodiles and a boat tour. Loi's enthousiasm was contagious and we loved his humorous approach. Even though the bus trip was a bit long, he entertained us with jokes, quizzes and interesting information about Vietnam. We were only with 4 in total, so that made the experience more personal. Thanks for the fun day!

Informative and fun filled tour!

Had a great day with tour guide Manh. He not only lead the way but took the time to teach us about Vietnamese history and culture. He took the needs of the group into consideration and adjusted the plan accordingly to keep everyone happy and satisfied. It was a long day but definitely worth the effort!

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.
