We had an excellent day from the time we were picked up, driven to Chan Tho to see the floating market which was great. Seeing all the boats, goods, people. We had a lovely breakfast on the floating restaurant. Plenty to see with stopping for fresh juice, fresh fruit. The tunnels were great with a huge lunch and the opportunity to climb through as well as shooting a gun. Our guide Steven was awesome, gave us plenty of time and information about the area as well as Vietnam in general. His english is great and he is very knowledgeable. We had plenty of room in the van and bottles of water supplied. I would thoroughly recommend this trip if short on time like we were and you can't stay for a longer time.

We had a fantastic tour with Daniel at the Cu Chi tunnels. He made sure we were entertained and at the edge of our seats throughout with the activities. A lot of additional surprise activities were also included. Daniel made sure we saw things at our own pace and patiently answered our questions too. The transport was clean and comfortable too. Overall a highly recommended guide and tour.

Ashley did a wonderful job showing us Hanoi. We went to 3 restaurants and then tried the famous egg coffee along with a magnificent view of the lake. Highly recommended!
