Informative and Great Private tour! - We had a private 1/2 day tour, and we were well taken care of. Drinks and wet towels were provided. The tour guide spoke fluent English. He was the one who brought us to the tunnel and explained everything, including the history of Vietnam. Very well informed. The car was clean and comfortable. It is very much recommended if you are on a honeymoon and want to have a private tour away from other tourist groups. Not pushy to go places you won't want to go or things to buy. Thank you Bruce!
