• 5Fantastic day trip with Nick 😊

  We were picked up from our hotel at 7.15am by our lovely smiling guide Nick who had fantastic English. On our way to the tunnels Nick told us all about the history he has learnt about the Vietnam war. His knowledge was great and he answered many questions from different nationality’s on our trip. The Tunnels gave us a good insight into life in these times and how the Vietnamese army found innovative ways to defend the country using left over weapons. We had the opportunity to fire the AK47 (quite expensive at £21 for 10 bullets) Stopping for lunch where the food was provided. We travelled a further 1 and half to the Mekong river Delta where we took a boat to the island village & took a small row boat through coconut forest to sample local products. Our guide Nick has been good fun all day and made sure we all enjoyed our day 😊

• 5Viet Nam

  OMG Everything that we have been taught throughout our life, when you think about things seriously, you always come to the conclusion that there is more than one side to a story. This has confirmed my belief that what I’ve been taught has been heavily sanitised. The Viet Cong soldiers were so clever. The way that they were treated was so grossly disgusting and disrespectful. The price of freedom is the willingness to fight for it and this they certainly did. I shall be returning to learn more.

• 5Great day trip!

  Thank you to big handsome David for being our guide! He was funny, informative, and helpful. The Cu Chi tunnels was my favorite, although it does get cramped underground. There were also 4 sales stops that dragged out the day trip, but there is no sales pressure to buy anything. I definitely recommend this tour if this is your first time in Ho Chi Minh City!

About Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's buzzing commercial hub of French colonial landmarks, war history and superb street food.

District 1 holds the main sights within walking distance: the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral, the elegant Central Post Office with its vaulted hall, the colonial Opera House and the ornate City Hall. The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.

Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minh City: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
