Anna was a delightful guide who made sure we were comfortable and informed throughout our visit to the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong Delta. She shared the history of the sites with us in a kind and informative manner. The boat ride in the Mekong Delta was the highlight of the trip for me, despite its brief duration. While we wished we had more time to spend in the area, there was a lot to cover in a single day. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and we're grateful to Anna and Minh for providing us with an unforgettable experience.David, Our tour guide was incredibly informative and friendly, making for a great and comfortable day out and the pick-up was prompt.

David, Our tour guide was incredibly informative and friendly, making for a great and comfortable day out and the pick-up was prompt. Despite the large crowds, our group had only six people, allowing us to have more time at each exhibit and take clear photos. David was efficient in guiding us through the tunnels and on the riverboats at the delta. The lunch provided was also exceptional, with my vegetarian needs accommodated. Overall, this tour was an excellent way to spend our last day in Vietnam.Although it had a typical touristy feel, that's to be expected from a one-day trip to two distant locations. I appreciate the wonderful experience.
