Thank you Dennis... - We booked our trip with EVT travel and I advise everyone don't book with them! They promise you something and deliver something else. The company itself 1 🌟 is s too much. if I had knew what we had to go through on the morning of our trip, and the stress they've put us through I would've definitely gone with another company. Big thank you to our turgid Dennis, what gave this trip 5 🌟. My family and I had a great day and we thank you for all your efforts you did. EVT is truly lucky to have someone like you working in their team.

Wonderful Cultural Experience and best tour guide - Wonderful day tour indeed! From the moment we rode the van, the tourguide name Dennis delighted us with his humor. When we were Cuchi Tunnel, he was also able to explain in detail the tunnel system and history of how the vietnam guerilla won against the Americans. We then proceeded to Mekong River for the boat tour. Our time was tight because we departed late in the morning but the tour still went wonderful without us feeling rushed. Dennis organized the tour well.

Dennis the best tour guide ever had - We had an excellent day out exploring! The cu chi tunnels were both amazing and terrifying being so small and compact. Our tour guide Dennis was an expert when it came to sharing his knowledge on the war and its history! We had a beautiful Vietnamese lunch along the way to Mekong delta! This was a nice way to break up the day. The highlight was sailing down the canals of the river, we couldn’t believe how busy this was, the honey tea was also a delicious way to finish the day! Thankyou so much Dennis and our lovely driver T, we had such a wonderful experience with you both! 100/100 must do!!!!
