Immersed in the places of war - We visited the site of cu chi, seeing the places of war and how Vietnamese soldiers defended themselves and faced the days of war. Our guide Nikki explained in detail how the tunnel worked and at the end of the tour we tried our hand at walking the 100 m tunnel.

Organised, engaging and informative! - Thuyen was an incredible tour guide! Kind, knowledgeable and very funny, she could answer every question and made our tour so engaging and informative. It was also very well organised, where Thuyen collected us from our hotel lobby removing confusion I have experienced with other tours. I would highly recommend!!

A good glimpse into Cu Chi tunnel - We received exact pick up time and some useful info the night before the tour so didn’t have to wait long at the hotel lobby. Tom is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide with a great sense of humour. He fed us with a lot of interesting information about Vietnam. The bus provided was clean and new. We enjoyed this tour very much and would recommend to anyone who wants to know more on the history. There’s also a chance to try shooting but at own expense.
