I chose the Chinese tour group, and our tour guide Thuý Hằng taught himself Chinese! Super awesome, I think it’s worth it! The history was explained in great detail, and questions were answered well. The photography skills were also very good. I felt like an angel. The itinerary was quite rich. It was hard to imagine how terrible things happened during the Vietnam War. After the trip, I paid 600,000 yuan to experience target shooting. It was over without knowing anything, but it was an experience hahaha

Very well organized tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and then to the Mekong Delta. Our tour guide Lockie made the tour entertaining and active. There are several stops at local producers along the way. Lunch and several snacks are included in the price.
