An incredible experience with an incredibly knowledgeable guide - My husband and I did the private tour of Ho Chi Minh City and the Cu Chi Tunnels with John, who was absolutely brilliant. As Brits we went in without much understanding of the history of the Vietnam-American war but John's incredible historical and local knowledge taught us a great deal in just one day. We cannot recommend John enough as an incredibly warm, welcoming and inspiring guide who loves and knows his country incredibly well. The tour including visits to some very poignant sites but it was John's narration that truly brought the history to life!
