Yes - Cu Chi is an wonderful destination for historical experiment. I like it. Once I was a student in high school, I had an opportunity to travel there with my class. I was encouraged a lot when I first saw the historic stories which were written on the rocks. I witnessed many reallistic vehicles, weapons,... Through those experience, I could feel the cruelty of war, I felt like I could share the pain with the great Vietnamese soldiers. Because of their sacrifice, I can live in peace today. I'm always sincerely grateful and proud of being a son of Vietnam!

Great, so many new experiences!!! stress-free and super informative - We did this 2-day tour as a family of four and honestly, it was such a good decision. The whole trip felt well organised and stress-free. On the first day, we visited the Cu Chi Tunnels. I’ve read about them before but seeing them in real life and actually going down inside was an eye-opener. The stories about how people lived there were intense but so interesting. The second day at the Mekong Delta was my favourite. Riding in a small boat through the coconut palm canals felt like something out of a movie. We visited a local house that made coconut candy – tasted so good I bought a bunch to take home. Lunch by the river was simple but fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed just cruising along the river and seeing how people live along the banks. What I liked most about this tour was that it wasn’t rushed. We had time to actually enjoy each place without feeling like we were being herded around. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to see both the history side and the chill countryside side of Vietnam in one go.

Good trip - This was an amazing tour. I feel like I got to experience almost all of Southern Vietnam in just two days—from culture and history to local food. We started early in the morning from Ho Chi Minh City and headed to the Cu Chi Tunnels. After a few hours’ drive, we arrived and began exploring. I was deeply moved while watching the documentary and hearing stories about how Vietnamese people fought and survived during the war in such cramped underground tunnels. I have so much respect for their resilience. I also tried shooting an AK47 and M16 at the range—such a unique and exciting experience. If you visit Cu Chi, I highly recommend trying it. At noon, we returned to Ho Chi Minh City for lunch. The meal was delicious—Vietnamese food never fails to impress me. In the afternoon, we explored many of the city’s famous landmarks, like the Opera House and Ho Chi Minh City Hall along Nguyen Hue walking street. We visited Notre Dame Cathedral and the Saigon Post Office—two beautiful examples of old Saigon architecture. We also stopped by the Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum, which holds an incredible collection of war-related photos, documents, and equipment. The Jade Emperor Pagoda was also very impressive. We ended the day by visiting a local market. I took so many beautiful photos—my phone storage was almost full! The next day, we traveled to Ben Tre in the Mekong Delta. We visited a small brick factory and a coconut candy workshop—where I got to taste the candy (so good!) and even bought some to bring home as gifts. The local mat-weaving house also left a strong impression on me. One of the highlights was riding a xe lôi (similar to a tuk tuk) around the peaceful village. We had a tasty riverside lunch before biking through the countryside and taking a boat ride along the coconut palm-lined canals. In short, this tour was wonderful. In just two days, I learned and experienced so much. Every part of the trip was memorable. I will never forget this journey. Highly, highly recommend this tour!

Amazing, informative experience. - My family and I (group of 5) are so impressed with this 2 day tour. Jun (and Tommy), our guides, were so informative and inclusive. We were lucky to hear about first person experience in terms of culture, customs, politics and economics. Jun was so open about his lived experience growing up in Vietnam, as well as the cultural history of the country. He was also a regular comedian! The second day of our tour (The Mekong Delta) provided us with some ‘pinch me’ moments, like standing inside a handmade kiln used to bake 120 thousand bricks at once; or floating down the Mekong Delta in a canoe with our rower singing traditional Vietnamese songs. Would absolutely recommend! Thanks for having us guys!

It even rained on us during the bicycle tour of the Mekong Delta and we still had a great time . <br/> Our guide was so knowledgeable, friendly and witty. <br/> The tunnels were an amazing experience. Seeing the environment first hand, helped me understand how so many soldiers suffer from PTSD. What an awful experience that must've been. The city tour was a separate guide and he was so full of information. <br/> Very informative and super happy we did this 2 day tour.</p>

our fun vietnam adventure - Vietnam is much like my country with a very interesting history, warm people and great food. Our guide Jason made our tour much more fun. I can't praise him enough. He was always ready to help and answered all our questions knowledgeably. He has also worked beyond expectations by making us feel welcome. He bought us moon cake and a dessert made of cassava. I would recommend this tour and Jason to my friends. Good job Jason!! More power to you and your company.

The first day was a trip to the Chu Chi Tunnels and in the afternoon was the city ride. It was an informative and compact excursion and we stopped along the way for short breaks. The second day was also fruitful, I enjoyed the bicycle ride along the villagers homes to see their peaceful, laid-back lifestyles wished it was a longer route though. We sailed on the little boats along the Mekong River and strolled through the Coconut Village. We had enough to eat and drink, so yes, it is a recommended trip. A very big thank you and many blessings to the tour guides.</p>
