Reviews
very educational and fascinating trip. our tour guide was Travis–who was also helpful, friendly, and accommodating all the time! my only concern was the quality of travel, the driving made me a bit dizzy. other than that, I enjoyed everything! 😊 thank you
Highly recommend this tour and particularly with this tour operator. Small group tour so they can go through each spot and item thoroughly, a brief session from a real veteran sharing the history from a first hand point of view. Do expect some buffer time due to the constant heavy traffic and possibility of overtime for the tour itself.
Our guide Andy is really friendly and knowledgeable despite his very young age. We joined a small tour group of 6. Got to know first hand experience from a former guerilla. Crawling throughout a 20m long tunnel was personally quite suffocating for me even though I have had no experience of feeling claustrophobic before. This will be an unforgettable experience.
was an absolute honour being able to meet a war veteran. The entire tour was extremely interesting and my tour guide Long speaks really good English and was very friendly and knowledgeable. would highly recommend this tour!
Tour guide is on time. We enjoyed the tour. It was very informative and cool. I am claustrophobic but I enjoyed the tour with my loved one.
the tour was very informative and the pacing was just right. interacting with the war veteran was interesting and meaningful.
Highly recommended Tour guide Sugar was so helpful and informative They were also on time I really had a great time with this tour Main highlight is meeting a war veteran
Lucas's our guide was AMAZING!! His English was 11/10, he was able to answer all our question, and the off one he couldn't, he would find out the answer. The veteran, Mr Nam, was beautiful, and open to sharing his story with us.
You can go to caves and play with real guns. The tour guide is very good and highly recommended for friends who want to go on a day trip.
The supplier will contact you via Whatsapp one or two days in advance to confirm the time and pick-up and drop-off hotels. If you have any questions, you can email or whatsapp and they will reply soon! The tour guide was very nice and explained in detail in English. The overall activity experience was great👍🏽
