The tour was very nice, but her English could be much better. We were still able to communicate well, although it was difficult in some places. What would have been great if she had told us more about the country, its people and its culture, which was a little lacking in the museums.

We went on a 2-day trip (on separate days) to the Chu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. It was wonderful 2 days and very educational as we learnt about historical facts, I was not aware of before.

The first day was spent at the Chu Chi Tunnels and we had a private guide called Lee, who walked us through the tunnels. He was a very humorous guide and really kept the trip interesting and entertaining. Lee’s relative had fought in the war, so was able to provide valuable insights into the traps and history of the place. We got plenty of time to visit the site and managed to try out the activities (eg. Actually go under the Chu Chi Tunnels). The timing and pacing of the tour were excellent and we returned to Ho Chi Minh in good time to visit the War Museum. Lee was a fantastic guide and I would highly recommend him.

Day 2 was spent at the Mekong Delta with the lovely guide Mia, who was just starting out her tour guide career. We visited various islands and at each destination, we ate different types of food, which was great and interesting to learn the making of such things as chocolate bars. We went on a boat ride and did some cycling through the villages. The lunch was fantastic as well just like all the food in the country. It was Mia’s first tour and I felt she did very well. She was very friendly and tried her best to answer all our questions. She made sure we were always safe and pleased to take pictures on our behalf.

We really enjoyed our 2 days at the sites and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Lee is a genuinely brilliant host. He brings professional tour guide expertise together with his passion for Vietnam and its history. Highly recommend.
