Great guide, informative half day Cu Chi Tour - We did the half day Cu Chi Tunnel tour as part of the pre-booked tour booked on Groupon from North to South Vietnam. We had hilarious Leo the Lion as our guide and the formidable Mr ' Tom Cruise' as the driver with a great small bunch of other tourists. Leo was polite, informative, friendly, never short of humour that kept us in cackles/titters. Very accommodative of our 8 year old son who decided to throw tantrums in the middle of the trip (yikes!) plus the others in the group were also very kind/attentive to him. Shame we only had a short time in HCM and the rainy season put stop to plans including a visit to the War Remnants Museum I was hopeful to follow up on some intriguing info from the tour. Hopefully will be back again. Cám ơn Leo 👃.
