Lao was a great guide - Lao was an amazing tour guide who was very ‘Tuyet Voi’! He was very knowledgeable at every stop and took very good care of all the guests. There were so many stop throughout the day, amazing what we could accomplish in a day! I loved every minute of it!

Koha's VIP Tour Rules worth every cent - Koha/ Mr.Fa is the best tour guide! Super knowledgeable and entertaining. We got to learn so much of vietnamese history in such a short span of time. He explained how vietnam became as large as it is today starting back in 1600s , the popularity of the sur name nuguyen , and made traveling the tunnels and touring the delta an absolute breeze 11/10 would book again 😁

Brilliant long day! - Thoroughly enjoyed the diverse nature of trip. Harry was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was clear on program. Don’t do tunnels if small dark places not your thing. Managed to hold a python - not a fan - but joined in all the many options given. Long day as two hours from tunnels to Makong Delta (dirty!!) but felt it was well worth it. It was a small private tour, great van, safe driver allowed the ability to chat to fellow travelers but importantly learn about the history and culture.

Wonderful tour. - The whole tour was great. Our tour guide, Binh/Blaire and driver, Binh were both great. We met some good people on the tour as well. Made our trip very enjoyable and fun. Blaire was very informative and organized which is always needed in a tour. Our driver was efficient and got to our destinations on time if not earlier.

Great experience in Vietnam - Picked up at the specified time, right outside our hotel, by our fabulous tour guide Alun (female) in a very comfortable and spotlessly clean minivan. Comfort break after about 40mins with rather ‘rustic’ toilets but fresh juices etc available and encouraged to buy souvenirs from an initiative set up to help disabled Vietnamese. A further 20-30 minute drive then it was thrilling to see and actually go down into the tiny Cu Chi tunnels we had only heard of in TV documentaries. Alun led our small group of 9 people on a tour of this extremely atmospheric and impactful place and gave us loads of unbiased information to make it even more interesting and enjoyable. Comfort break half way through with much needed refreshments available. The only downside was how busy it was with all us pesky tourists! - but still well worth a visit. After a further 10-15 minute drive we spent about 30mins at a lovely, large restaurant, with lots of other tourist groups from the same company coming and going, where a very tasty lunch was waiting for us at our own group table. Dietary needs were all arranged in advance and catered for. Available toilets are quite clean but as in most public areas- remember to take your own toilet paper/ tissues as none available! The rather long 2hr drive to the boat at the Mekong Delta gave most the time to sleep off lunch! At the river we had numerous stop offs on the riverboat to see how families live and make a living by the river, try various products made from honey and from coconuts, and my favourite, a 2km paddle boat ride along a narrow stretch of river beside the mangroves. It’s all interesting to see but remember to take plenty local currency as frequent tipping and buying of produce is heavily encouraged. We fully appreciate and support the tour company’s attempt to help the local communities but our guy paddling the boat repeatedly asking for money from half way down the river, made us feel quite uncomfortable. All in all a very interesting, well organised day trip and well worth the money! A special thanks to the lovely, engaging and very knowledgeable tour guide, Alun

Informative tour to Cu Chi tunnels - Our tour guide was super helpful and made sure we were looked after. He made us feel safe and would keep an eye on us to make sure we didn’t get left behind. The cu chi tunnel experience was great! Highly recommend! We weren’t very impressed with the Mekong part of the tour. A lot of it is walking around peoples compounds where they have the markets. Considering we drove 2 hours from the tunnels to get there then another 2 hours back to HCM, we thought it was a long way to go to be underwhelmed. If you can afford to book the luxury van then I would suggest booking. Seats in the normal van aren’t very comfortable and it’s a tight fit when the van is full. Also, AC couldn’t cope with the amount of people in there.

Great guide, okay journey - Our guide Jack was wonderful! He provided us with a lot of great information about the sites and Vietnam history. The tour itinerary itself was not the best. The tunnels were cool but the Mekong Delta seemed more like a trap to get tourist to tip lots of people- our canoe driver demanded a tip before we even finished our journey. Overall, recommend the tunnels but the Mekong Delta could be skipped.

Trip to Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong delta - Cu chi tunnels was a great experience however if I was to book again I would just book this element. Trip to Mekong delta was a long drive (2 hours plus either way) and on arrival just felt like multiple sales opportunities. Save your precious time in Vietnam and don’t bother with this second part!
