Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"It was a great tour with Jecki. He brought the tunnels and the events of that time very vividly to life for us. Jecki is a wonderful guide—friendly and attentive. He is full of knowledge and stories that make the terrible time of the war tangible and deeply moving. By the way: Jecki is also a great photographer. Let him show you his photos—they’ll make you want to explore Vietnam even more."
"We had a great trip to the Mekong River Delta with Tu! We truly enjoyed it 🙏🙏🙏 Everything was perfectly and efficiently organized. Tu was an excellent guide, and his level of English was outstanding. We left with many wonderful impressions and beautiful pictures. Throughout the trip, Tu answered all our questions and shared his knowledge of the history of his country, as well as his own perspective. It was very interesting and insightful. In addition to the tour, Tu also took us to a local market, which was very authentic and colorful. We had a bit of a time constraint and needed to be at the airport by 4:00 pm at the latest — he managed everything perfectly, and we arrived right on time! We highly recommend Tu to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City and its surroundings. Olga & Lukas"
"We had a fantastic experience with Thien as our guide on the Cu Chi tunnels tour. She took me and my two teenagers to the original, much less crowded Ben Duoc site, which made the visit feel more authentic. Exploring the tunnels and learning about the underground history was fascinating for all of us. What makes Thien special is her deep knowledge. She has master degree in politics, and her insights into Vietnam's history, war and political context were incredibly interesting."

"Huyen was punctual on the day of our tour and she rocked up in a very big, comfortable and clean Kia MPV. The journey was very pleasant in the MPV and she regaled us with the history of Vietnam along the 2.5hours road trip. The driver was excellent and drove safely. She even stopped at a market so we could buy some local fruits. She took us to a less busy tunnel site and it was an experience crawling through the tunnels, especially the 50m one. We finished off with drinks and local tapioca for snacks. Besides the day trip, she also recommended some very good Vietnamese restaurants to us, especially Hoa Tuc and Cuc Gach. I would highly recommend Huyen for the tunnels day trip."
"Well organized, and Huyen took care of every detail from start to finish. The historical explanations were engaging, and added so much depth to the experience. Highly recommended. "
"Huyen was just brilliant, everything was so organised and special, I felt like a king having my own boats and transport, Huyen is very knowledgeable about her country and the history of the Delta. The food provided was by a local family and it was out of this world. The whole day Huyen made me feel special and made me feel like I was meeting up with an old friend rather than a tour guide, I can highly recommend this tour as one of the best days out that I had whilst in Vietnam. Thank you."
"We had a very thorough tour of the Cu Chi tunnels today with Jecky. He was able to navigate us around the crowds, and being the only two on our tour helped it to feel individualised and very personable. He provided a broad range of historical facts, and personal stories on the tour, setting the context for what we were seeing. The car ride was very comfortable, with a spotless vehicle, and a safe and attentive driver. Our tour was a great experience and we can highly recommend Jecky as a guide."
"We had a fabulous day with Huyen. She was very friendly, outgoing and engaging. On the drive she shared her very diverse knowledge of the history of Vietnam, it's people and culture which was so important for us to understand. Huyen encouraged us to be active participants in exploring everything that the tunnels had to offer. We are so glad that she did as it made the day so much more meaningful. She also had us go to the further set of tunnels which were less busy. We were fortunate to have her as our guide and would highly recommend Huyen!!"
"Huyen provided my family with the most amazing, memorable and authentic experience at the Cu Chi Tunnels. We shared laughter, knowledge and reflection throughout the tour. Huyen’s humour, care and encouragement made this a unique experience we will always cherish. "
"Thien was an amazing tour guide. We learned so much not just about the region but the history of Vietnam. She took us to some off-the-beaten-path spots where we met some of the best people and had some of the most memorable moments on our trip to Vietnam. Thien is an encyclopedia of knowledge on Vietnam so the whole day felt like a crash course in Vietnam studies. Cannot recommend her tour enough!"
