A window into history
If anyone I know was coming to Ho Chi Minh city, it would be difficult for me to not recommend this tour. Our guide was Kevin, and me and my wife truly felt as though we were being given a window into the history of the country by a proud historian. If you are able to, I would make experiencing the tunnels with Kevin an absolute priority early on in your visit.
Tour with Kevin to the Tunnels
My tour guide Kevin was outstanding. His English was excellent, and his knowledge of the history of Vietnam and how the various conflicts interconnected were really helpful in understanding the background to the tunnels.
Tunnel tour
This is an excellent tour. We were picked up at our hotel at 7.30 and driven to visit the site. Kevin our guide was knowledgeable and provided insights into the history of Vietnam and its fight for independence and unification. He brought warmth and humour to the day. I would bery much recommend this tour.
