Similar to other tunnel systems in Vietnam, it included meeting areas, first aid stations, and fighting pits.

Beach Lovers - Jack and Daniel are the best! Jack is amazingly knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and he shares it passionately. Both of them are willing to answer any questions gracefully. We also felt very safe with Truong’s driving skills. The beaches are beautiful and the food was delicious. As beach lovers, we are glad we joined this tour.

Vietnam travel Group - Wanting to see the oceans shoreline, we booked this private tour of Vung Tau with Vietnam Travel Group. Our tour guide/s Jack and Daniel took care of us and were flexible with our sights needs. We had lunch at a very nice restaurant, which was included in the tour. We would surely recommend this tour, especially if you’re wanting to see the seashore.

Living history - An exceptional tour.
My guide Jack has a deep knowledge of the Vietnamese people’s history, and how it culminated in the conflict.
His own military history gives him and the source maps he uses gives depth and understanding to how the Long Tan battle began, and the moments that shaped the outcome.
The tour included visiting various sites around the Nui Dat base, with photos from the time showing things that happened on the spot you’re standing.
If you are in Vietnam, you should take this tour.

Cu chi tunnel - The best tour guide, Jack gave an amazing experience of cu chi tunnel. Lots of insights and fun time.
The travel company gave a great package of a limousine van at a great price and with a great experience. Highly recommend. The group was only of 13-14 people. Must visit.

Nice experience - It was a nice experience to see how the Vietnamese people win the US war in Cu Chi Tunnels and then moving to see the beauty of Mekong river with local music and on the boat along the creek. Tour guide (Aqua), she did a good job in explaining all of those....

Tunnel - I thought about it very well. The English explanation was very attentive, and I could enjoy sightseeing without prior knowledge.
