Worth it - The experience was informative and well-organized. We learned some very interesting pieces of history. The stop at the handicapped people's art shop was not necessary and could have been improved if the people working on the art were INSIDE, in the air-conditioned room as opposed to the sweltering heat outside.

Fantastic tour! - Felix was an excellent tour guide. We paid for a large group but we actually only ended up as a group of 9 in total. Fantastic English and very reassuring when doing the tunnels. A very sweaty day as it is very hot underground but very interesting and alongside the war museum in HCM I have a much better understanding of the war. A great trip, definitely recommend.
