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.
