Great tour guide - My dad and I booked this tour expecting it to be a small group tour but to our surprise it ended up being a tour with just us. Max our tour guide was amazing, he was friendly and informative telling us about the war as well as his own experience growing up in Vietnam.

Good history lesson - Good guide, tunnels are narrow and claustrophobic. It was a hit day, but good experience and history lesson.
