This trip is brilliant! It is a long day but totally worth it. Travis was our guide and he was excellent from start to finish. He taught us a lot about the history of Vietnam and also allowed us time to explore on our own. He communicated really clearly and told us how long each section of the journey would take. A few of the people on the trip didn’t want to go into the tunnels and he respected that - no one did anything they felt uncomfortable with. Overall, a great day and I would 100% recommend it.

Communication levels from both the tour operator and guide were so amazing! They helped us with everything we needed. We had to cut our tour shorter and Huy helped us out so much with transport back. Very informative. Quite a fast paced tour and overall amazing experience!

The highlight of the day was Cao dai church for me. Lucky to see the praying ceremony, very unique experience! Our guide Kenny was helpful and friendly, and kept us informed of the itinerary throughout the day. Our van driver drove smoothly.

Amazing trip, fantastic guide Noah & very safe driver. Couldn’t recommend this trip enough, you do and see so much, even more than the itinerary states! You must see the new Buddha statue built in 2025 and you learn so much at the tunnels! Food was delicious for lunch & finally we must mention Noah again, he’s very attentive, knowledgable & fun thank you Noah!

Tom has been an amazing guide. The three activities included in the tour are really interesting and worth it. Even though it's a long day (left at 7am came back at 7:45pm), it was well organized and very interesting. I'd recommend to bring a book or snacks for the bus, since you're spending some time in the van and there's only lunch included.

He shared a lot of information with use and was able to answer all our questions We highly recommend this tour and SST Tour Operator. Thank you Dolphin and Danny
