We did the combined Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour with Nolan (Nam) as our guide, and it was an amazing experience! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and funny – the perfect balance to keep everyone interested even with a long day and changing weather. The Cu Chi Tunnels were eye-opening and very educational, while the Mekong Delta part of the trip was a fun change of pace – from boat rides to local experiences. Nolan made sure everything flowed smoothly and explained the history and culture in a way that was easy to understand and enjoyable. It was a full day packed with activities, but never felt rushed. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see two very different but equally fascinating sides of Vietnam in one trip!

Kyle is a great tour guide. Very informative and also assisted us in everything, even in taking a photo. The tour is great also, highly recommended if you wanted to know more about Vietnam's history and how they cope up and won the war. My respect to the Vietnamese people is high because of how they endured everything, despite of their hurtful past, and their present country status. I love Vietnam because of it's goods, food, history and everything is cheap.
