My favourite activity in Vietnam - A very heavy tour but Sunny was very welcoming and knowledgeable on the topic. It was very hot so definitely bring sunscreen and a hat and water! It was great to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Amazing overall!

Aussies in Nam - I tour guide Van was brilliant and funny. Van gave us a good history lesson on the war, and what living in the war was like, for both the Vietnamese and the Americans. Highly recommended 👌.

5/5 - would recommend to anyone. Our tour guide Phil was incredible. - Our time with our guide Phil was nothing short of a pleasure.
He made our trip so special by being so informative and lovely.
I would highly recommend anyone to go to the Cu Chi Tunnels, and if you’re lucky enough to go with Phil you’re for a day of laughter, fun, intrigue, and knowledge.
Cannot big up Phil enough, he and the Vietnamese are the friendliest and most accomplished people I have ever met.
