Chu Chi tunnels is a must do! - Went to the Chu Chi tunnels. Our tour guide, Tri, was amazing. Patient and knowledgeable. There were 3 tunnels, gradually getting harder and harder. I did the first one and chose not to do the next two as I am a bit claustrophobic. You have to crawl through some parts and it gets harder to breathe. You are only in the tunnels for a few minutes though. It was amazing to see how you get into the tunnel through such a small hole. Tri also showed us the traps and how they worked. Loved the tour! This is a must do! Bonus- I paid extra to and shoot an AK47 and machine gun. A unique experience I will probably never do again.

Do not miss this tour! - We booked the Ho Chi Minh half day tour and it was great! Our tour guide Tre was very knowledgeable about historical details and shared with us very interesting information about the War. We departed around 8:00 am and came back at 1:00 pm, and it was enough time. We also liked that we were a small group of 7 people so it didn't feel crowded and even in the tunnels it was only our group on the day we visited. In total there are 3 tunnels that you see and I was a bit worried because of claustrophobia, but I managed to see the first 2. I would definitely recommend this experience as it gives you a insightful perspective on how Vietnamese were persistent in fighting and surviving in this war.

Great tour guide for Cu Chi and Mekong - Did the 1 day combo group Cu Chi + Mekong tour, led by Tri. Overall a great experience! Tri was energetic, knowledgeable, and spoke English well. The trip was smooth and well-organized. Both Cu Chi and Mekong were fun and interesting, but each experience felt slightly rushed (tourist assembly line) and there was a lot of driving. If we were to do it again, we’d probably opt for two, separate 1-day tours. Still great if you only have one day for this experience.

Awesome experience with 3 - Me and my girlfriend would like to say that this was one of the best experiences in Vietnam. We had the same guide for the cu chị tunnels and the delta river. He told us to call him 3. But he only helped make the trip much better than it already was and the driver we had was also nice. We recommend this!
