5Fantastic Tour Itinerary and Tour Guide (Phong)
Phong was such a knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining tour guide! He shared lots of interesting history about Vietnam and the Vietnam War, and his jokes definitely kept the tour fun 😂 We also really appreciated how kind he and our driver, Hung, were at the end of the tour. We asked if they could drop us at another location instead, and they kindly made a short detour for us even though they could have easily declined. It saved us a lot of unnecessary travelling! Really grateful to have had Phong as our guide. He is definitely an asset to Kim Travel! ❤️
520 September 2026: Kuchi Tunnel and Mekong Delta Tour: Wonderful Memories
It was a fascinating tour. At the Cu Chi Tunnels, we learnt about the horrors of the Vietnam War through real experience. On the Mekong Delta tour, even though it was heavy rain, we gained an insight into the culture and customs of the Mekong region in Vietnam through interactions with local people and the cruise. I was also deeply moved by today’s guide Mr. Phong and driver Mr. Hung, who were exceptionally clear in their explanations and who, whilst showing great respect for the local people, were also very attentive to us as tourists. As the driving was quite powerful, it might be a good idea to make an announcement beforehand asking tourists to fasten their seatbelts on the high-way Once again, we would like to thank you for arranging such a wonderful tour.
5Educational Tour Fun and Exciting
The tour is great, we had fun and learned a lot from our guide. It was smooth, educational, and hassle free. Our guide as well as our driver are kind and friendly.
5Shouldn't miss this tour
Lum was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and explained everything throughly. He tried to show us authentic Vietnam. He also knew many interesting facts about people all over the world. Mr. D was a great smooth driver. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Go BANANAS👍👍
5Cu Chi Cu Chi Coo … and the Mekong Delta
What a day! Mr. Phong (aka Mr. Handsome) and Mr. H, our legendary driver, took us from the Củ Chi Tunnels to the Mekong Delta. We crawled through tunnels, inspected booby traps, and somehow survived with our dignity mostly intact. Then came the truly terrifying part: holding an anaconda! 🐍 Luckily, there was plenty of honey, tropical fruit, coconut candy, and a delicious lunch to restore our courage. Mr. Phong was informative, funny, and full of stories, while Mr. H navigated like a pro. Fantastic tour, great food, plenty of laughs, and unforgettable experiences. Highly recommended—just watch your head underground!…
55/5 Stars – One of the best tours we've ever taken!
5/5 Stars – One of the best tours we've ever taken! We booked the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta combined tour with Kim Travel, and it was worth every single penny. The entire experience was exceptionally well-organized, informative, and deeply enjoyable from start to finish. A huge highlight of our trip was our amazing team: Mr. Phong "the Handsome" and Mr. H, our driver. Mr. Phong kept us entertained and informed with his humor and vast knowledge, while Mr. H was incredibly accommodating and ensured a comfortable, seamless ride throughout the day. If you're visiting, this tour is an absolute must-do. I will definitely be recommending Kim Travel to all my friends, and I would do this exact tour again in a heartbeat the next time I'm back!
