The trip was interesting and definitely worth trying. - This trip left me with unforgettable emotions. The Cu Chi Tunnels provided a vivid lesson in history and reminded me of the sacrifices made by those before us. Meanwhile, Thoi Son Island offered a peaceful escape into nature, allowing me to relax and find a sense of balance.

Amazing Experience with Gtrip - This tour was a fantastic experience! The Cu Chi Tunnels gave an eye-opening glimpse into Vietnam’s history, with an opportunity to crawl through the tunnels and learn about the war. The Mekong Delta portion was peaceful and scenic, with boat rides through lush canals and visits to local villages. We enjoyed fresh fruits, honey tea, and coconut candy. The guide was knowledgeable, and the tour was well-organized with comfortable transport. Highly recommend if you're short on time and want to see both history and nature in one day!

Memories trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels - Visiting the tunnels in Cu Chi is a must if you are in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)! It highlights the resilience and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people during the war and provides insight into how they lived under the ground for so many years. Getting to actually go into the tunnels is an incredible experience. The entrances are so well hidden and the tunnels narrow, even after they’ve been widened for tourists. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was the second time I’ve been. Highly recommend taking the time to visit.

A really nice trip - I went on a trip with my family and some of my close friends. It was absolutely an amazing trip cause I had never seen something like this in my life. I also enjoyed a bunch of Vietnamese food while traveling. Love it.

Vietnam's Hidden Wonders - Last month, my friend & I took a trip to VN and we went on this tour. The trip was truly amazing as we got to crawl through very small tunnels, and the system underground was truly astonishing. The boat trip on the Mekong Delta was very enjoyable, but the VN weather at the time was quite hot, making it easy to get tired!
