Vietnam's tourism industry is so streamlined! They really have it down to a science, shuttling you through each area with activities, explanations, samples and refreshments. It was educational, informative, friendly, and overall a good experience. Pretty much all the trips are the same and got to the exact same places, so don't waste time or money on fancy marketing and go with what's economical for you.

Absolutely fantastic trip. We went as a family with two children, who both loved it. Our guide was almost a stand-up comedian - very funny and sweet, and could easily tell about the whole tragic history of Vietnam, and strong people. A huge recommendation!

Our guide Lee was the best tour guide! He introduced us to Vietnamese culture and entertained us very well. Many thanks to Lee and the driver!

Bao was a wonderful guide for our trip - very helpful and informative on the way to the tunnels and throughout the tour!

My guide laugh fee was incredible! And the driver too
