Great experience! - I did the cu chi tunnels tour on motorbike, which exceeded my expectations thanks to my amazing guide David who did a superb job. He explained a lot about the vietnam war, the area and vietnamese culture and was happy to answer any question I had. His English is perfect so we pretty much chatted away the whole day. With his open minded attitude and great sense of humour he made it really easy to talk about literally anything. Terrific driver too!

Chu Chi Tunnels by Speed Boat - Thank you for our speed boat tour to the Chu Chi tunnels. It was fun cruising along the Saigon river, we arrived earlier than most tourists while it was a bit cooler and less crowded. The food was delicious.
