Traveler reviews
Best experience in Vietnam
Special thanks to Ethan for a very well led tour. His knowledge and planning of the day was perfect. We did the tunnels in the afternoon which was way better. Awesome experience highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Vietnam.
Cuchi Tunnels with transportation
Our hotel Kunkin Garden and their very helpful and lovely lady at the front desk booked us all kind of nice experiences. This Cuchi Tunnel trip was unbeliavably interesting and unforgettable, not only because of the great guide, Kevin . He had all the answers and a lot more to tell. One of the best experieces to me and my 13-year old son. And I've seen all the continents and more than 50 countries . Truly, Teemu, Helsinki, Fin
Manh is the Best!
The guide can make all the difference in the world and our guide, Manh, proved to be more than the icing on the cake. He started the trip explaining the tradition of Happy Money — including passing out envelopes to the entire group. On the way to the Chu Chi tunnels, he gave us an informed explanation of the history and purpose of the tunnels and prepared us for what we would see and do there. And once there he continued to be both informative and empathetic to our feelings about war and suffering (and maybe a little claustrophobia). Later during the city tour, he ran into a friend and fellow tour guide as well as a man who had been a mentor to him. His compassion was so evident in those brief exchanges it drew the group to him as a teacher and professional guide. All this and he also had a sense of humor! Lastly, I forgot to get the name of the restaurant we went to for lunch but it was one of the best of all the tours I did in Viet Nam.
All in one day, perfectly accompanied
The day tour was extremely interesting and Luan has had a good answer to every question. Luan as a tour guide is very helpful and gave tips in the museum as well as he knew all the historical data. Very impressive. He also took good care of us, organized delicious lunch and water as well as refreshing cloth. Thank you again.
Perfect day tour with guide Luan
We had enjoyed a wonderful and very informative day. Our tour guide Luan knows everything. He is very friendly and has provided us with so much exciting information. Thank you very much
