A Profound Odyssey with the Illustrious Tour Guide TONY (DUY ANH) : A Reverie through Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 😍🥰 - We ad the distinct pleasure of engaging the remarkable services proffered by the illustrious Tour Guide Tony, an appellation which resounds with unparalleled reverence in the realm of guided excursions. With an indefatigable spirit and an erudition reminiscent of a sage of yore, Tony—nay, Duy Anh—eschewed mere mundanity, regaling me with an odyssey that, though fleetingly confined to the span of a solitary diurnal cycle, unfurled before me a tapestry of experiential grandeur, a palimpsest that rivalled the very mythos of antiquity. Verily, my sojourn to the enigmatic Cu Chi Tunnels was transmuted into a veritable exegesis, as Duy Anh espoused upon the stratagems and stratifications of the tunnels, wherein Viet Cong valiance wrested victory from the cauldron of conflict. His linguistic prowess—nay, lexicographical symphony—entwined with his arcane mastery of drollery, enkindled my cognitive faculties and unshackled the irrefragable truths encapsulated within history's annals. A soothsayer of sorts, Duy Anh traversed epochs with verbal alacrity, bestowing upon me sagacity wrapped in hilarity. Behold, the expedition to the Mekong Delta—the very sinews of Vietnam's aquiline and labyrinthine lifelines—unfolded as a veritable reverie, punctuated by Duy Anh's sagacious elucidation of the topographical undulations, the peregrinations of waterborne commerce, and the confluence of ecological mosaics. His vernacular effulgence conjured panoramas that rivalled the Renaissance frescoes, each word a brushstroke cascading hues of enlightenment. The chronicles of that fleeting day transpired as a phantasmagoria, a melange of laughter, erudition, and scenic rapture woven deftly by Duy Anh's inimitable hand. He was naught but a Virgil of my Vietnam odyssey, guiding me through the purview of history and landscape with a savoir-faire not unlike that of a diplomat in his courtly visage. In summation, the syncretism of Tony's profuse erudition, linguistic prowess, and ineffable mirth engendered an ambrosial concoction—a simulacrum of experiential apotheosis. A cicerone extraordinaire, Duy Anh's custodianship transmuted the quotidian into the quintessential, imprinting upon my mind an indelible sigil of enchantment, the very essence of which is encapsulated in the encomiums woven thus. Let the cognoscenti bear witness, for in the temporal cadence of a single day, I traversed epochs, chortled with history, and reveled in the sceneries of yore. And thus, with the ineffable Duy Anh as my vade mecum, I unearthed the vestiges of Cu Chi's subterranean valor and the Mekong's aqueous tapestries—undoubtedly, an experience of erudition and effulgence, ensconced in the embrace of antiquity's enigma.

1 day visit to cu chi tunels and mekong - We were 4 and took this private tour. The experience and the guide Fiele were great. We had time to do a lot of things. He picked us up at the hotel with a minibus. We first visited the cu chi tunnels. After that the choker drove us to the Mekong but first we did a stop in a very cosy restaurant with a beautiful garden (also included in the pack) then we arrived to the Delta Mekong and the island where we saw how coconut homemade caramel is done and some more handmade things. All finished with the pagoda. I really recommend this tour as I think it is very complete and the guide is very friendly.
