Incredible Day Trip!

We did the VIP Limousine tour and it was worth every penny. The tunnels were eye-opening and our guide, 'Tiger', was hilarious and knowledgeable. The Mekong portion was relaxing with great fruit tasting.

Must-do in Vietnam

A long day but you see so much. The tunnels are tight but you can skip them if you want. The boat ride was the highlight for me. Lunch was delicious local food.

Great experience, long drive

The sites are amazing. Just be prepared for about 2 hours on the bus each way. The guide kept us entertained with history lessons. Highly recommend bringing mosquito spray!

Highlight of our trip

Booking was easy and the pickup was on time. The shooting range at Cu Chi was loud but interesting to see. The rowing boat in the Mekong canals felt very authentic.
