Fantastic excursion. - Brilliant day out with our great guide Ben. Ben was extremely knowledgeable and well educated on the history of Vietnam which he spoke about eloquently on the journey to the tunnels. The day is long but enjoyable throughout. Tunnels were a great experience. The lunch was superb sat in a tropical garden under cover. The Mekong delta boat trips were the icing on the cake with visits to a coconut pressing plant where they make all sorts of products from the coconut where we got to taste a lot of products including an alcoholic rice wine that had been distilled with a king cobra and other reptiles for 3 years! A short boat ride again to a bee/ honey production small holding to taste honey and other products. Finishing off with a lovely sunset cruise across the Mekong and then the journey home. Fantastic value and highly recommend. All made great by Ben and the driver who were brilliant!!

Koha's VIP Tour Rules worth every cent - Koha/ Mr.Fa is the best tour guide! Super knowledgeable and entertaining. We got to learn so much of vietnamese history in such a short span of time. He explained how vietnam became as large as it is today starting back in 1600s , the popularity of the sur name nuguyen , and made traveling the tunnels and touring the delta an absolute breeze 11/10 would book again 😁

Brilliant long day! - Thoroughly enjoyed the diverse nature of trip. Harry was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was clear on program. Don’t do tunnels if small dark places not your thing. Managed to hold a python - not a fan - but joined in all the many options given. Long day as two hours from tunnels to Makong Delta (dirty!!) but felt it was well worth it. It was a small private tour, great van, safe driver allowed the ability to chat to fellow travelers but importantly learn about the history and culture.

Great experience in Vietnam - Picked up at the specified time, right outside our hotel, by our fabulous tour guide Alun (female) in a very comfortable and spotlessly clean minivan. Comfort break after about 40mins with rather ‘rustic’ toilets but fresh juices etc available and encouraged to buy souvenirs from an initiative set up to help disabled Vietnamese. A further 20-30 minute drive then it was thrilling to see and actually go down into the tiny Cu Chi tunnels we had only heard of in TV documentaries. Alun led our small group of 9 people on a tour of this extremely atmospheric and impactful place and gave us loads of unbiased information to make it even more interesting and enjoyable. Comfort break half way through with much needed refreshments available. The only downside was how busy it was with all us pesky tourists! - but still well worth a visit. After a further 10-15 minute drive we spent about 30mins at a lovely, large restaurant, with lots of other tourist groups from the same company coming and going, where a very tasty lunch was waiting for us at our own group table. Dietary needs were all arranged in advance and catered for. Available toilets are quite clean but as in most public areas- remember to take your own toilet paper/ tissues as none available! The rather long 2hr drive to the boat at the Mekong Delta gave most the time to sleep off lunch! At the river we had numerous stop offs on the riverboat to see how families live and make a living by the river, try various products made from honey and from coconuts, and my favourite, a 2km paddle boat ride along a narrow stretch of river beside the mangroves. It’s all interesting to see but remember to take plenty local currency as frequent tipping and buying of produce is heavily encouraged. We fully appreciate and support the tour company’s attempt to help the local communities but our guy paddling the boat repeatedly asking for money from half way down the river, made us feel quite uncomfortable. All in all a very interesting, well organised day trip and well worth the money! A special thanks to the lovely, engaging and very knowledgeable tour guide, Alun

Informative tour to Cu Chi tunnels - Our tour guide was super helpful and made sure we were looked after. He made us feel safe and would keep an eye on us to make sure we didn’t get left behind. The cu chi tunnel experience was great! Highly recommend! We weren’t very impressed with the Mekong part of the tour. A lot of it is walking around peoples compounds where they have the markets. Considering we drove 2 hours from the tunnels to get there then another 2 hours back to HCM, we thought it was a long way to go to be underwhelmed. If you can afford to book the luxury van then I would suggest booking. Seats in the normal van aren’t very comfortable and it’s a tight fit when the van is full. Also, AC couldn’t cope with the amount of people in there.
