“I and my friends did this tour for our second time in Vietnam, and we don't know how much we could say to describe our feelings about our trip. It was fantastic! We have seen some places we even didn't know about and probably would skip them without our guides. There is one thing we can say Vietnam is really a must-go country for its beautiful nature, unique culture, and nice people. Just one thing to note here: LEARN A FEW KEY VIETNAMESE PHRASES if you want to have a more holistic experience. With just a few words, people will appreciate that you’ve taken the time to learn some Vietnamese and they might be more welcoming and even give you some only-locals-know advice. I got some and I was so excited.”
Amazing Cu Chi Tunnels
5 - Excellent

“I have been interested in the history of Vietnam since I learned about it at my university so the Cu Chi Tunnels were the highlight of the trip for me. It was very educational and helped me have a better view of wartime in Vietnam and how the powerful US military strength was defeated. As exploring the tunnels, everything I had read about the War was revealed in front of my eyes as I travel back in time. The presentation was well done, showing a lot of the tactical traps and how they retaliated with homemade tools. Additionally, we had the chance to fire actual AK-47s and machine guns. We received proper ear protection, safety instructions, and monitoring. It did seem quite realistic when you could hear the gunfire. Besides that, all the other experience in destinations was really nice too. I really love the food on the tour and all services were smooth. It can be said that I was well taken care of by this travel specialist.”
